Congrats to Ron Simmons/Farooq on his well-deserved induction into the WWE Hall of Fame.

Also, that’s a fine looking belt right there. I always forget how much I loved that design until I see it up close again.

WWE Hall of Fame 2012 Inductee — Ron Simmons

It’s great to see the WWE highlight his WCW World Heavyweight Championship victory over Vader, but why no footage of Farooq leading the Nation of Domination?

Toy Fair 2012 Reveals Upcoming WWE Elite Figures

These figures were supposed to be under the WWE Legends line, but that particular series was canceled due to low sales, so look for these to be mixed into the WWE Elite series.  Arn Anderson, King Kong Bundy, Andre the Giant (who is already currently available), and the “King of Bada Bing”, Diamond Dallas Page?! Pretty neat stuff!

However, it’s a shame that the “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Magnum T.A. figures from WWE Legends will be seemingly scrapped:

Maybe we’ll see them — who knows?

I cannot pinpoint the exact date this was taken, but I’m sure that it was during Bam Bam Bigelow’s stint during UWF in 1991. I cannot find any other times where he wore this unique singlet, but those turnbuckle pads are throwing me off.

EDIT: Actually, those ring rope colors could make this from his small stint in WCW from 1990. Regardless, I rather like this odd attire from Mr. Bigelow.

Ahh… Fuck, I remember these two. Wrestling was so over the top back then. Miss those days.

Personally, I love my WCW World Heavyweight Championship replica belt that I keep over my fireplace mantle.

It’s the official one issued in 1999 from World Championship Wrestling, and I’ve always loved that fact. Plus, owning that made it a no brainer last year when it came down to Halloween:

Readers?

What is ONE standout wrestling moment for you? It can be of any era or any organization, I’m just curious as to what people have to say as it’ll be worked into something I’ll post soon.

Personally, my moment is still Rob Van Dam vs John Cena at ECW: One Night Stand (2006). I’ve gone back and visited that PPV so many goddamn times that I could call each and every match without even staring at the screen.

What about you?

Our wrestling coach with former WWE Wrestler Finlay.
He’s now a coach at a high school in Newnan, Georgia.
We beat his team to qualify for state two weeks ago (; 

Everyone was eyeing him like,
“Is that Finlay? Noooo, that can’t be him! In Georgia?”

But, it is. :DD
And my friend Jose beat his son.
The Newton wrestling team is on fireee this year.
I’ve been so proud of my boys. ^__^ 

Your friend Jose is lucky that Fit Finlay’s son didn’t break his thumbs. 

The Finlay family is kinda known for that.
