Everybody remembers wrestlers from their youth all the way to the present. I was sitting around the other day (no sports on) and this thread came to mind. For some reason Chief Jay Strongbow came to mind and his famous "Bow and Arrow" finishing move. Who ya got??

I haven't watched wrestling in about 30 years, but we did have the "Ultimate Warrior" come out to the base on Coronado. Loved this guy! My favorite wrestler of all time, just a nutjob! Don't know what his finishing move was, maybe the splash or something like that....

Yeah that's my first thought. Jake the snakes ddt would be second. But damn, nothing was like a roid raged Randy Savage from the top rope.

Jimmy Snuka's "Superfly Splash".
I don'tknow the names of Ricky Steamboats moves, but no one came off the ropes like him. Seemed like he was always flying through the air off the top rope.
BTW did you guys know that Kane is now the mayor of Knoxville?

Yes, but I'm an active wrestling fan and that always gets brought up.
Another wrestler, Matt Morgan, who worked for WWE and TNA is now the mayor of Longwood, FL. ECW legend Rhyno also ran for representative for the 15th district in Michigan.

I know all that stuff was choreographed and the matches were fixed, but they were still huge men doing some incredible stunts. It is amazing more of them were not seriously injured.

I've wondered how the meetings go. Like when he says an issue is tabled, does he like slam someone through a table?
