Whoooooa, Nelly. I come back to this thread, and find shit upon shit. Shit stacked upon shit, so that you can see it from the rafters. Xzibit came to our front door, and said, "yo dawg, we heard you like shit..." I can stop now, right?
Ok, a couple of things I want to get out of the way here and now;
Please, see this, if you weeeilll:
This is still true, you know? I mean, I get that whole, "I didn't read anyone else's arguments" (side note: for how smart everyone says you are, doesn't it come off a little myopic to not even bother to read the other side of the argument before you reply? I'm just saying), but this is still a true fact in business, and in wrestling. So I'd like to hear you squirm your way out of this one.
And, while we're at it, because you chose to read so many different posts in this thread:
Maybe you should read a little before going all herp a derp on the forums?
I'm glad you went to Adonis' wiki before you said find me one match he wasn't in the main event of. But anyway; The main event of the May 1st Tapings, in 1986, at the height of Orndorff's power, in Madison Square Garden
WWF Saturday Night's Main Event Taping
May 1st 1986 Adrian Adonis def. (DQ) Paul Orndorff
And before you call it a one off, actually, no. Adonis was an extension of
Roddy Piper and his legitimate main event feud with the man he turned on, Paul Orndorff. It's probably why when
Roddy Piper turned on Adonis and went babyface, that it was such a big deal.
And before you say it:
1.
Don't be dense; yes, that is Hulk Hogan. You can argue that it was Hollywood Hogan, but it's the same fucking guy. Same balding hair. Same world title. Same mustache. It's the same. fucking. guy.
2. Spare me the kayfabe prime argument, because Yokozuna didn't beat him in his prime, either. No one did, save for Andre at the Main Event tapings.
No one beat Hogan in his prime, get over it. My God, if Yokozuna existed in the heyday of Hogan's prime, I can assure you he'd be chewed and spit out, just like most of the monsters Hogan faced (See, Kamala, One Man Gang, Bundy, Killer Khan). Of course, he would have also done something he never did as champion, draw a killer house or two.
Again, it really helps when you read the other person's argument.
It was a special attraction, but it didn't draw money, plain and simple. And no one has proven to me that Yokozuna had any drawing power as champion, in which you may see my first post, and come back to me.
Fat guys don't lose in wrestling?
A list of the guys I personally saw Yokozuna get knocked to the ground by;
Macho Man
Bret Hart
Tatanka
Jim Duggan
Earthquake
Undertaker
Lex Luger
Crush
Shawn Michaels
Ahmed Johnson
Vader
British Bulldog
Mr. Perfect
Owen Hart
Diesel
Razor Ramon
Steve Austin
I have no problem showing you any of these guys.
Also, it's wrestling. If you're going to argue like it's a shoot and say Yokozuna won't sell for Roddy Piper's offense (great arguments, you dispshits. Yokozuna just won't sell. If that were the case, no one would get him down), but I'm curious how many of you will vote Ricky Steamboat over Ken Shamrock, and will vote Goldberg all the way to the finals.
It's a work guys; don't piss on my leg and call it rain, and don't try to convince me Yokozuna would win using shoot logic.
