| 1471 | Article | Vaporman87 | Pictures would be nice. LOL. But I've been the one who posted articles with no pictures at RetroJunk, so we don't always know what the others like to see. A scary story for sure. If ever there was a reason NOT to drink... | The Meeting | Oct 21, 2014 | |
| 1472 | Article | NLogan | It's a shadow wraith, a hideous spectre, who eternally walks the line between life and death, searching for a soul to take its place. <img src="http://operationrainfall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Wraith.png"><br><br><img src="http://www.vgmpf.com/Wiki/images/b/ba/Shadowgate_-_NES_-_Dead.png"><br> | The Meeting | Oct 21, 2014 | |

| 1475 | Article | Beryl001 | Thank you, I haven't written anything in quite awhile. Didn't know you could post pictures, but most likely wouldn't have anyway. I think this piece is better left to the imagination. | The Meeting | Oct 21, 2014 | |
| 1488 | Article | Vaporman87 | There is so much about wrestling in the 80's that I could go on about. I was so convinced it was all real, and the drama could make your blood boil. Naturally I was always rooting for Hulk Hogan to win everything. He and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake were two of my favorites. The Undertaker came along some time later and soon became my favorite as well. I loved Roddy Piper. Yeah, he was usually a heel... but he was so good at it that you just had to like him. Macho Man was another favorite of mine. He was so kooky and Elizabeth was a beauty that every young boy loved. I like the style of Ricky Steamboat though. He was a great wrestler and knew how to put on a show with just in ring maneuvers. Those were the matches you really loved watching... the ones with guys who could actually impress you with what they could do. Not just running around doing clotheslines and leg drops. And then there were the managers (which only ever seemed to work with heels). Always there to make trouble and you just wished these idiot good guys would just bring their own outside the ring helper to fend off the cheaters! The fun and excitement faded with time. Like you said, there was something magical in the 80's when you knew who were the good guys and who to root against, and then joined the other millions of fans to watch. It was a soap opera for men, and it was exceptional at capturing our attentions. That isn't to say that it isn't still good at capturing attention. But it's different now. The magic of not quite being sure if it's real or not... and whether or not these guys really hated each other... it's gone. We all know it's fake, and they make no effort to hide it any more. The drama that catches headlines is more real now... what really is happening behind the curtain, and that's just not magical. It's the gritty and grim reality we all live in, and hoped to escape from when we sat down to catch a match. | When Wrestling Rocked | Nov 04, 2014 | |
| 1489 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I'm with you on the managers. They only functioned well when they were acting as cheaters to make the heels/bad guys look that much more evil (Bobby Heenan was king!). but when a face/good guy had a manager (Jimmy Hart with Hulk Hogan) it was pointless because their whole job became acting as a hype machine for a character that was already loved. Kind of redundant. | When Wrestling Rocked | Nov 04, 2014 | |
| 1490 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah, The Brain was the best there ever has been at playing the part of annoying heel manager. So good. And then when he started commentating on the matches his dialogue got even better. I miss those days. | When Wrestling Rocked | Nov 04, 2014 | |
| 1491 | Article | pikachulover | I didn't follow wrestling back in the 1980s. I barely started following it in 2003. But I think it's important to know about the history. I may not be that well versed on the history, but I wanted to learn about it. People think I'm just some airhead who watches it for the good looking buff guys. (mainly Cena) I also think that the Attitude era is very similar to the Rock n Wrestling era for the WWF. As it brought wrestling to the forefront of pop culture, but in different ways. | When Wrestling Rocked | Nov 05, 2014 | |
