For anyone who wasn’t around for Sid’s run, this is the stuff to watch if you want to understand why he was the coolest wrestler to young viewers. Specifically in this era, there was real interest in watching bad*sses annihilate people with malice. Lol ☠️👑youtu.be/kCEDczSvIFs?si…

After my post about Big Duncan Shearer yesterday, I got to thinking, dangerous I know
Who are the top 5 goal scorers (nae necessarily strikers) you’ve seen play in the flesh for The Famous?
Mine are
1. Shearer
2. Rooney
3. McGinn
4. Jess
5. Gillhaus

@LeeHAuthor @IANdrewDiceClay The UK boxing press were disgusted with him for “doing fake wrestling” but bad publicity was still attention regardless
English
@IANdrewDiceClay Ok, they were all saying it was a shame he’d lowered himself to pro wrestling — but everyone knew there was a show taking place called WrestleMania and Mike Tyson was involved.
English
We need to stop comparing celebrities from 1985 to celebrities in 2026. Mr T was one of the most recognisable people on planet earth. Cyndi Lauper was a mega star. Muhammad Ali was a God. You get me a celebrity of that size for WrestleMania and nobody would be shitting on it.

Warrior had some look didnt he?

Who’s not scared to admit they were an Ultimate Warrior fan growing up?

@mowgli1977z Clinical finisher with both feet and his head, definitely up there when it comes to my best Dons strikers list
English
Not by anyone that saw him play for us
The best striker I’ve seen play in red since I started going to games
St.Anthony@Stephen4_2
Aberdeen had many great strikers through the years but Duncan Shearer is often forgotten.

@liverpool_snug @DAZNBoxing Not all governing bodies use that rule

Kidnapping the daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger in Commando might be the worst decision in movie history.
And I’m not even exaggerating.

@OptimusAndyCX @LeeHAuthor Zombie Linda which is only marginally less charismatic than normal Linda
English
I’m not saying Hogan–Andre and Austin–Hart aren’t worthy of a spot in the Hall of Fame, but we’ve overlooked the greatest moment in Sports Entertainment history: Linda getting up out of the chair and kicking Vince in the bollocks.

@IANdrewDiceClay I had a bit of a hiatus from wrestling from 1994 until late 95 and was baffled at the sight of a fucking binman when I finally started watching again

Duke Droese trying to get a job with WCW.

Garbage men are more important than billionaires.

@ChristsMachete @Stokedfight That fight boiled down to who won the first round (which was very close) as GSP won rounds 3 & 5 with Hendricks 2 & 4. With this in mind, I need to rewatch it
English
@Stokedfight WRONG, Johnny Hendricks Vs GSP is the biggest robbery of all time.

Predator is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s best film. It totally holds up after almost 30 years. With Commando of course coming a close second.

@Alfromsleep @IANdrewDiceClay What you got against pussies?
They're beautiful and delicious.
English
Pretend MMA superman Mark Phenom was so poor at this they had to reshoot it after everyone went home. Hence there's no fans but a few staff members at ringside.
Of course one of them had to have a "HHH" sign (despite him being on RAW), because that makes sense.

@TheVintageMMA Didn’t realise until just now that Kondo has an incredible 116 pro fights, a true ring warrior. My main memory of him was getting stomped into the shadow realm by Prime Wanderlei Silva. Barnett is so damn good to watch, love his style
English
Josh Barnett x Yuki Kondo. Hailed as a classic in the Pancrase “art of fighting” tradition, fans & media celebrated Kondo’s fighting spirit, Barnett’s catch pedigree & both fighters’ willingness to engage in stand-up & on the mat, emphasizing skill over spectacle. (8.31.2003) 🌟

@allan_cheapshot The kick in the ribs after whipping him into the corner looked particularly nasty
English
@Wrestle_G @LeeHAuthor The blindfold match is a classic. Jake and Martel had the crowd in the palms of their hands
English
@LeeHAuthor I genuinely can’t remember the last time I watched VII
Warrior vs savage is so good.
English
@LeeHAuthor I was a reader from 1997 until the end of the run, more than happy to contribute

If you were a regular Power Slam reader 98-01 and wouldn’t minding answering a few questions, I’d really love to hear from you. Cheers
Lee Herbert@LeeHAuthor
In the immortal words of Lieutenant Columbo: just one more thing. I’d like to speak to some Power Slam readers from the same period, 1997-2001. I’d especially love to hear from anyone who had their question answered or letter printed in the mag. Cheers.
