I think that you forgot one thing Journey. ANYONE who follows wrestling CANT READ!!!!

Journeyman · Mar 12, 2004

Uh okay...Wrestling seems to have lost some of its glitz the past couple years but its actually very mainstream...Nice attempt at humor though player...

PlayerOnly=Threadhijacker

Look man a ring legend passed you can`t jump in my thread making a joke! Where are your manners boy? Hey Player BTW, I forgot to tell you a little Houston history lesson, the Rockets have won 2 titles , not 3...Back to back was it....

Hernandez was 46 BTW....another wrestler dying under 50 in his sleep shocker...Wrestlers are great athletes, who live hard and die young...

I didnt say 3, I said that in 1981 they went to the finals

Journeyman · Mar 12, 2004

I guess I can`t read lol.....I saw 3, I know because I am a big Rockets fan...but anyway I will not hold it against ya Player....Hey Player, are we going to get a bracket contest going for baseball this year? How bout a nickel entry fee? 16X5= 8K How bout it, can we get 16 nickels?

PO69 · Mar 12, 2004

We cant get 16 nickles out of a church offering!

I would do it, but it will be tough since only about 20% of the active posters bet baseball. I actually bet the most of any sport in baseball.

One reason why I knew the 3 titles is because i really do have season tickets and I went to the 1981 championships with my father and I attended the 1994 Championships. I sold my 1995 tickets though

My favorite...Olajuwon was at the pinnacle of greatness! It was an amazing run for a team that didn`t really come together til the playoffs...and if you remember should have lost to UTAH then PHOENIX! That was some season!

Another wrestler who died young. Andre the Giant.

wil.

Andre was a unique case, Wil. Guys like Henning, Rude, Herc, Davey Boy, Pillman, Hawk, Spicolli, Duncum et. al. dying young were because of their lifestyle choices. Crash and Renegade are a couple of others who died young but those were suicides. Pitbull #2 might have been a case of getting dealt tainted dope. That's just relatively well known guys. USA Today had a pretty decent article in it that didn't even mention Beefcake clearing out a Boston subway terminal and getting arrested for coke possession after someone thought it could be anthrax.
