No respect! No honor! There is no honor amongst thieves in the first place! He put hard times on Dusty Rhodes and his family. You don’t know what hard times are, daddy! Hard times are when the textile workers around this country are out of work. They’ve got four or five kids and can’t pay their wages, can’t buy their food. Hard times are when the auto workers are out of work and they tell em’ go home. And hard times, are when a man has worked on a job thirty years. THIRTY YEARS! They give him a watch, kick him in the butt, and say HEY, a computer took your place, daddy. That’s hard times! That’s hard times!
And Ric Flair, you put hard times on this country by taking Dusty Rhodes out. THAT’S HARD TIME!! And we all have hard times together. I admit, I don’t look like the athlete of today is supposed to look. My belly’s just a lil’ big. My hiney’s just a lil’ big. But brother, I am bad and they know I’m bad!
This Day In Wrestling History - Shane Douglas Threw Down the NWA Title [August 27th, 1994]
And Extreme Championship Wrestling was born.
“In the tradition of Lou Thesz, in the tradition of Jack Brisco of the Brisco Brothers, of Dory Funk Jr., of Terry Funk— the man who will never die. As the real Nature Boy Buddy Rogers, upstairs tonight. From the Harley Races, to the Barry Windhams, to the Ric Flairs, I accept this heavyweight title. … Wait a second, I’m Kerry Von Erich. I’m the fat man himself, Dusty Rhodes. This is it tonight, Dad. God, that’s beautiful. And Rick Steamboat, and they can all kiss my ass.
I am not the man who accepts a torch to be handed down to me from an organization that died seven years ago. The Franchise, Shane Douglas, is the man who ignites the new flame of the sport of professional wrestling.”
“I always liked to hear about the old timers. Never missed a chance to do so. You can’t help but compare yourself against the old timers. Can’t help but wonder how they would have operated these times.” — Ed Tom Bell, “No Country For Old Men”
