​@EBC-ENTYeah dunno man, many of the old school guys also had amateur wrestling backgrounds, couple this with their sheer size and athletic skills, stamina, etc..I think they could have stomped Gracie, especially the guys like Bob Roop, Ole Anderson, Steve Williams, Bob Orton Jr, etc..All of whom had extensive amateur wrestling experience with collegiate careers and in Roop an Olympic medalist. There is a reason Gracie and his family resisted allowing high level grapplers into the first few UFC events, not taking anything from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, but it's not the unbeatable discipline. You could easily argue that the English pro wrestlers like Adrian Street, Billy Robinson, Karl Gotch, etc with their experience in CACC would have beaten most of the early UFC competition, as it was a Gotch trained Sakuraba a CACC trained pro wrestler who handed the Gracie's their first losses..

@EBC-ENT Its about perception and appearence. Your selling tickets to everyday people, there isnt too many UFC fighters that have made as much money as Hogan has, if at all. Brock gets double points. What young people dont know or hate to admit shoot wrestling, UFC, and p;ro wrestling are cousins. Id put money on Danny Hodge or Lou Thesz in their heyday to beat most ju jitsu practioners of that era. Dan Severn sucked as a pro wrestler put Gracie had quite the difficulty is beating him in the early UFC. A real wrestler that can strike, is pretty formidible. Back to the Gracies, Rickson was dominant but never fought anyone in their prime, The Gracies often want to control the rules in their favor. It was catch and professional wrestler Billy Robinson that trained Sakuraba. We saw how catch wrestling did against the Gracie family. The Gracies and most early UFC grapplers were horrible on their feet. Oncde code was cracked and the rules changed, they pulled out of UFC. You couldnt just lay in the guard forever.

Got addicted listening to these 2 talk every day

Thanks for the show, James and Dutch!

I certainly agree, he does not beat the bush at all. Tells it how it is and moves on.

Many wrestlers today seem to lack charisma. Despite that on average they are in better shape than yesterday's wrestlers, but hardly any have the charisma of Ric Flair or Dusty.

Dutch isnt lying talking about rest stops..I used to hitchhike a lot when I was young, and I met a girl at one, well a truck stop, actually,..who was 'working', and I was talking to her and she asked my age. I told her I was 19 and she said "wow, youre way older than me". I didnt even wanna ask how much 'way older' was.

Aaaand you people are not even using it facetiously anymore... great.

I think Dutch should do a play on his name and The Flying Dutchman in WWE next.

Hulk Hogan is telling the truth….

Hogan battled Andre, famously, but his biggest, best feuds in the WWF were against Roddy Piper and Randy Savage--who were NOT monsters. Ted DiBiase was NOT a monster. Hogan's first major feud as a babyface was in the AWA, against Nick Bockwinkel. The most anticipated feud, albeit a let down, was against Ric Flair. Neither whom were monsters. So the idea that Hogan could only sell tickets fighting monster heels is just plain wrong.

Real nuggets in there, "people will pay to see the baby face win, they will not pay to see the baby face lose." Doesn't mean they have to win each time, but very interesting in terms of how to tell the perspective of a feud. Nice little saying that explains a lot.

Thank you Dutch 10 months later and I finally get why I don't like Ricochet. I kept saying to myself that us short guys gotta support each other but I can't even force myself to give a single Eff about him.

I remember Booker's last match in TNA; he was supposed to go out on a stretcher but he didn't bother - he just rolled out of the ring and walked to the back. Totally unprofessional. I bet that Booker was probably frustrated with the product but he never put any effort in - even guys like Sting and Kevin Nash gave it their all, despite being past their prime. Booker gave the impression that he was slumming it and didn't take anything seriously. There was the accent thing (he put on a weird African accent backstage as well, calling Jeremy Borash 'Jeremiah' and such) but his matches weren't much cop either, even against the likes of AJ Styles.

According to his collegiate basketball stats Ron Fuller is legitimately 6’7” .

Of course I never worked and traveled for the hours they did, but when I was working 2 jobs I would nod off all the time for a split second and it always terrified the hell out of me.

Sean Waltman wasn't the shortest guy in the mid-90s WWF - I'm pretty sure he was taller than Marty Jannetty, Chris Candido, Owen Hart and Koko B Ware, probably Davey Boy Smith as well. He was just as tall as Shawn Michaels or Bret Hart. What made him stand out was how skinny he was - he was easily the slimmest guy on the roster and probably weighed 160lbs soaking wet at the time. 40lbs lighter than the likes of Shawn Michaels who himself was considered very small by the standards of the time and 50-55lbs lighter than Owen. Waltman bulked up a bit over the years though and I think as X-Pac, he'd have looked like a decent sized guy on the 2023 AEW or even WWE roster.

Seth rollins is a rare example of being a great in ring wrestler and is able to draw money. You could maybe argue bret hart as well

For me the word "worker" needs to be reclaimed. A "worker" is what Hulk is, the greatest ever, worked the crowd, drew the most money, expert at drawing sympathy and using his physical performance to tell a story. That's a worker. He worked the people. A great wrestler, says more about the style of match. Almost like saying Rocky 3 is one of the greatest movies of all time because it made people truly care and drew loads of money (I happen to agree with this) but someone might say, Shawshank is the greatest film. It's tough though because for me, I don't care what happens in your match if its meaningless. Just like a crap action movie. The Rock is one of the best ever because he told stories and everything mattered. Now, tombstone on the apron, 2 count. So, why keep watching.

I shattered my ankle tibia and fibula, the problem with healing that is that the blood flow is farther away! Takes much longer to heal

I think that I watched this already; there is something about having Hulk Hogan's name, as iconic as it is, in the title that will draw you into watching whichever video that shows his name in the title, even the video being shown is not really even about him! 😋

I'm expecting that top 10 shit list. You gotta do it now!

Mad Dog Vachon was not that tall. But reported as one of the toughest dudes in wrestling.

There’s video of that hockey cup thing on KZread with the person shoots the puck all the way down and it goes through the little tiny hole. They quit doing it after that though.

First to say thank you

The Fuller's owned the minor league Nashville Knights. Not the major league Nashville Predators.

I thought it was a snorefest to see Four hundred pounders working with a three hundred pounder . Hulk just wanted to appear vulnerable . It worked to have guys bigger than him menace him . But it would have worked just as well for Hogan to work big man style vs smaller wrestlers . Hogan could work but he rarely got to show it . He was no Bret Hart but he could wrestle .

Rock's "Crapshooter" was embarrassing

"Modern wrestlers." They really like that word, 'modern'. As if nobody knows who The Rock is these days. And you know what, maybe they don't. Because for people who looove to make a living those modern wrestlers can sure harp on about how the Attitude Era was a "perfect storm" or call Vince McMahon a "weird old man". I mean, because they are so great at making a living based off their own worth, of course. You'd think they'd be natural friends with the highest paid actor in Hollywood or a self-made billionaire. You'd think they'd get along well, but they don't. So what is it, then? Why don't they listen to those who made a living long before they did? Oh, I get it. Because it's obsolete. Because it doesn't work today. No, they're right. Like they say, and anyone can see it over the past 15 years, us critical fans clearly think we are infallible, a true authority. We shouldn't have the right to say that we want our burgers with extra cheese. That's so arrogant of us. They're offering the food. We need to just shut up and swallow it and be thankful. I pity the fool.

I mean, Chris Benoit and Eddie Guerrero (both wrestled since the 1980s) and John Cena peaked all at the same time in the mid 2000s, so Cena worked and is associated with with a lot of older guys. That era is rapidly approaching the 20 year mark, so I wouldn't consider it modern.
