I don't think any were on PPV. I don't know if you'd count Flair as a 'career bad guy' in the same way though - he is mostly known for his heel work but he did have a few memorable matches and feuds as a babyface.jdg9noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-51012075723759378942013-09-17T09:45:15.596-06:002013-09-17T09:45:15.596-06:00http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumbo_Tsurutahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jumbo_Tsurutajusticegraynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-2084166594695355442013-09-17T09:11:17.219-06:002013-09-17T09:11:17.219-06:00Piper/Hogan Starrcade 96Piper/Hogan Starrcade 96\____O__/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-65270484912025750522013-09-17T09:02:43.321-06:002013-09-17T09:02:43.321-06:00Wow very cool match.Wow very cool match.jobber123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-19388302514044778782013-09-17T09:02:26.500-06:002013-09-17T09:02:26.500-06:00Also, mini-TJ: http://deadspin.com/sumo-match-ends...Also, mini-TJ: http://deadspin.com/sumo-match-ends-with-crushing-body-slam-1333597541<br /><br /><br />Wow.kbjonenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838126259950293862.post-78883461794129697752013-09-17T08:43:26.175-06:002013-09-17T08:43:26.175-06:00"These kids nowadays, with their filppity-flo..."These kids nowadays, with their filppity-floppity wrestlers and firecracker entrances and big television productions and cookie-cutter bodies... I remember back in the day when we'd watch two big, brawny, grown men exchange punches and kicks and holds for an hour... and WE LIKED IT... mainly because there were only three channels on the TV, and the other two had pansy shit on them. Those big city boys had FOUR channels, the pompous shits... (snore... snore... ) wha... HUH? Oh, yeah, wrasslin' back in my day. You little twerps don't know how good you have it. All we'd get to see on the picture tube were the big boys beating up on tin cans... if we wanted to see any REAL action we'd have to go to the arena, buy a ticket, and hope we could see the ring. And if the bad men got a little too rowdy, we'd rush the ring and beat the shit out of them. I got one or two of them bastards with this little pocket knife... (pulls out a rusted old knife, not quite clean...)... this here's where I sliced that piece of crap Anklebiter Mick after he nearly gnawed off Big Tom Porter's foot. Pissant had to spend ten days in the hospital with an infection. Yeah, Big Tom nearly took my head off with a punch right afterward, but that was probably an accident. You look like you could a little of Big Tom's teachins... he'd have made that little whore you call a girlfriend into a REAL woman by now. <br /><br /><br /><br />(Kid snaps, beats grandpa into a bloody heap.
