They gave that away for free? Used to be you could fill up the Pontiac Silverdome (brother) with a performance like that.

Only one person has ever done that and that was The Sheiky Baby.

Man The Giant could have been GOAT

Perfect botched it the second time didn't he?

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

Wow, Big Show was once in shape?

Yes and it would have been scary as fuck, dude used to do from the top ropes and everything. Pretty damn athletic for someone so huge.

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

Big Show used to not be the worst thing to watch? Honestly, didn't know he used to be different.

 

[Socreges]

What the fuck.

That shit was mind-boggling then, and it's mind-boggling now.

Helps when the other guy jumps?

Still shows how strong these guys can be, don't get me wrong.

 

[Log4Girlz]

Isn't that a sex act?

 

[NoTacos]

damn, that size differential is crazy. also heard Goldberg jackhammered big daddy v a few months ago on that wrestling tour somewhere in the east.

Everything but picking each other up looked soooo fake in that fight.

 

[thesuperfunk]

Whatever happened to Goldberg?

 

[funkystudent]

Whatever happened to Goldberg?

Triple H buried him so deep mining crews are still searching for him.

Triple H buried him so deep mining crews are still searching for him.

It's all good now. Trips wants him in WM30.

BECAUSE IT'S GOOD FOR BUSINESS.

Or whatever the fuck.

[strobogo]

He did it at least one other time as well.

 

[Timedog]

Trust me, no one is feeling overinflated.

I'm pretty inflated right now.

 

[CrankyJay]

Insane.

Goldberg's rise to the top in the WCW was one of the most entertaining things I've ever seen in pro wrestling.

 

[Timedog]

Perfect did it better

Perfect was never carrying big shows entire weight during that move. Goldberg had big show up for a couple seconds before the slam.

 

[gutter_trash]

didn't Golbderg injure a bunch of other wrestlers because he sucked?

 

[Lashley]

Goldberg was a beast

 

[strobogo]

didn't Golbderg injure a bunch of other wrestlers because he sucked?

No. He injured Bret Hart in a match where Bret Hart had already injured himself two times in. He did it with a kick that he'd done in just about every match and never hurt anyone with. It was just an accident. Goldberg hurt himself a lot, though.

 

[RobbieH]

Goldberg was a beast

Indeed:

 

[bjork]

Goldberg was a boring turd. Tatanka's undefeated streak was more impressive.

 

[industrian]

Sweet our weekly wrestling topic so Wrassle-GAF can perpetuate their overinflated feeling of self importance

Can't forget the ring implosion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=H4GnJvUpsAQ#t=27

Sure it was rigged to do that, but all of wrestling is rigged. I would've liked it even better if it shot out fireworks.

Man, I remember watching this when I was younger. I miss wrestling ;_;

You're not alone, people who actively follow it still miss it, too.

Paul Wight is the most physically impressive giant in the history of wrestling.

I always wondered why the WWF just forgot Tatanka existed. For a short time he was one of their top stars.

After IRS repossessed his headdress and made Tatanka his bitch, they turned him heel. He never really recovered. That's the power of Irwin R Shyster.

Heel Tatanka was really bad, dude was meant to be a face for life.

You ever hear the stories of Tatanka showing up with character ideas?

 

[TheMan]

Nice show of strength, but the punches and kicks are almost cringeworthy in their fakeness.

 

[bjork]

Nope. Only Tatanka-related things I know are that he either owned or worked at a gym, and he had that run like 7-8 years ago that was decently received.

You missed his random return in 2005-2006 where he was a featured player on Smackdown.

Alright so, I think it was in like...2005, 2006...he showed up with WWE and was going to do a little program with them, and he looked phenomenal. I think this story was told by either Alex Greenfield or Court Bauer (ex-WWE Creative folks) but he's like man, he's looking great for his age, can't wait to get him out there and see what he has - and Tatanka was like "Man I got all these great ideas written down for my character and what to do, I've been doing this for a year or two" and the creative team were like "hell yeah let's see it, let's meet."

Tatanka shows up for the meeting with a 3.5" floppy disk that has his great character ideas. In the mid 2000s. Amazing.

This is the most beautiful suplex i've ever seen.

MR. PERFECT !!! GOAT!!

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

I saw it. It was right before I stopped watching. Tatanka was at that age where he was still big but you could see the wrinkles in his muscles. From what I remember they did nothing with him.

Maybe he wanted to make sure TNA could check it out too if WWE didn't pan out?

The Giant/The Big Show used to do stuff from the top rope. He was super athletic for his size. I don't know if his massive weight gain was due to laziness or what, but he could have been a huge star.

WCW was so awesome

Didn't The Undertaker says something along those lines? That The Big Show could be the best in the world if he wasn't so lazy?

 

[Master Thespian]

Yeah, before WM18 in an out of character interview (I think it was Off the Record). And he's not wrong. The Giant was an amazing physical specimen.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQ0Fg7Sa5TA

I wonder how things would have been different for his career had he come to WWF and come up with the Undertaker around instead of Nash.

 

[Szu]

didn't Golbderg injure a bunch of other wrestlers because he sucked?

Yeah, just ask Bret.

 

[canoli2006]

Remember when The Prototype (John Cena) FU'd Paul Wight (The Big Show, The Giant) for the first time at Wrestlemania XX?

Remember when you could say FU in the WWE?

Chris Jericho beat Goldberg ... in an actual fight, backstage, apparently.

Holy crap, that's a perfect recreation.

Goldberg was a dominating force, but the one thing he couldn't defeat was a ring post:
