Wrestling With Heels On is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYIt came to me a week later while I was watching the eleven a.m. WWF ALL-STAR WRESTLING show. DUTCH DOOGAN, my alter ego, would look like BIG JOHN STUDD. Like I said before, BIG JOHN STUDD was six foot ten. He weighed 365 pounds--a mountain of a man who looked like he could chop down trees without an axe. There weren’t too many wrestlers his size in the 80’s so he was a natural to challenge Andre’s status as the one and only true giant in wrestling. And so a rivalry was born. Thing is, every time Studd claimed he was the true giant in wrestling; Andre would get pissed off…for real. Not only did Andre hate Studd’s claims, he hated the way Studd entered the ring: crossing his leg over the top rope just like Andre did. And it didn’t help Studd’s cause that he truly did want to be considered the true giant in wrestling. Big John Studd wanted to be the bigger star and so went out of his way to prove it. ABOUT WRESTLING WITH HEELS ONWrestling With Heels On Web PageHi EVERYONE.

Unpopular Essays on Sports History is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.HIGHLIGHTED SHOWUnpopular Essays on Sports HistorySupposition. We live in a golden age of sports.I mean this not in the sense of athletes becoming stronger, speedier, savvier and smarter than ever before, nor in terms of the amazing access we have to live streams and stat feeds, instant insights and opinionating, the quirks and personalities of our celebrity heroes.This, rather, is a golden age of sports in humanistic, historical terms. The truth is that the great majority of people today, willingly or not, have a direct and regular connection to organized and/or participatory sports in their everyday lives than anyone born before the 20th century.In the United States, not a person alive can recall a time when sports was not a staple of the daily newspaper. For four generations, the notion that nightly news programs should devote up to one-quarter of their airtime to sports is taken for granted. Why do we take this for granted?At Unpopular Essays on Sports History, everything is questionable.Supposition: Those who play the games have ascended in the public eye to heights unimaginable in times past. Playing top-level sports can get today’s athlete into business, TV production, national politics – and just how did this happen?At Unpopular Essays on Sports History, everything is up for examination.Supposition: Sports – wherever they are played but particularly in these places where they are invented – effect culture, even pace it. One could argue that sports are more important than ever.Corollary: Sports history, too, should be more important, yet is probably more disrespected and disavowed than ever.At Unpopular Essays on Sports History, we love the past while marveling at the present, and wondering about the future.  The “unpopular essays” of the title is a nod to Bertrand Russell, the logical positivist and my favorite philosopher. (Plus it’s a great excuse to get my BA degree to finally pay off.) And as we’re taught in philosophy, It’s not about answering the questions; it’s about making them clearer.Three days a week, Unpopular Essays on Sports History will examine a moment in sports history, probe some modern ethos of our games, or speculate on what the past can teach the future – and all in 500 words or less – though probably occasionally throwing in the occasional longer interview. We’ll tour the spaces and times of the whole wide world of sports history about as quickly as Secretariat ran the Belmont Stakes.Supposition: Sports history is fascinating, illuminating and fun. Join me, Os Davis, in making the questions of sports history clearer right here an Unpopular Essays on Sports History, an SHN production. Os Davis, host of Unpopular Essays on Sports History Os never played the games but has enjoyed a nearly 30-year career in sports writing, reporting, blogging, and podcasting.

His professional wrestling career began in Indianapolis in 1967. Starting out as a backstage helper who helped set up rings and carried jackets, Heenan quickly realized his meager 180-pound weight would keep him from becoming an in-the-ring wrestler....ABOUT WRESTLING WITH HEELS ONWrestling With Heels On Web PageHi EVERYONE.

We lost Scott Hall this year on March 14, 2022. He was 63 years old when he died in Marietta, Georgia. He died from hip-replacement complications that lead to three heart attacks over the course of a weekend. As stated in the New York Times, the WWE called Mr. Hall “a hugely influential superstar” in an official statement they released upon news of his death. The WWE got it right. Scott Hall was hugely influential. He came to prominence at a time when other future stars were on the rise: Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson, Stone Cold Steve Austin and the Undertaker, to name a few.....Check out the rest of the blog post here.ABOUT WRESTLING WITH HEELS ONWrestling With Heels On Web PageHi EVERYONE.

Wrestling With Heels On is part of the Sports History Network - The Headquarters For Sports Yesteryear.EPISODE SUMMARYBrooklyn native Gilbertti was a natural to inhabit the Tony Manero character John Travolta played. Not only were they both from Brooklyn, but both characters--Manero and DISCO INFERNO--exuded a certain naivete that made them amusingly goofy and likable at the same time. Both drew their confidence from dancing, whether making their way to the ring or lighting up the legendary Disco dance floors in the movie. Both were surprisingly insecure considering how willing they were to display their talents in front of large audiences. ABOUT WRESTLING WITH HEELS ONWrestling With Heels On Web PageHi EVERYONE.

The Honkytonk Man was a talented wrestler who could wrestle with the best of them. His matches with Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat were all great matches. My best friend Sal and I saw those two wrestling in Madison Square Garden in the summer of 1987, and I want to say (and here’s where my memory gets wobbly) that we saw the Intercontinental Championship change hands, as Honkytonk beat Steamboat for the belt.

Sharpe wore a black forearm brace supposedly meant to treat a real forearm injury he sustained early in his wrestling career that never quite healed. It’s kind of hard to heal a forearm injury when you use the forearm brace to knock out your opponents. The word was Sharpe’s brace was loaded with something heavy and hard, maybe even a piece of iron itself. Whatever was in it (sometimes it’s better not to know), the forearm brace was a great wrestling gimmick. What was better than watching Sharpe forearm smash a charging opponent was watching him adjusting the forearm brace moments before he used the “Iron Hammer”—the name of his finishing move—to end the match.
