Omg, and then it could’ve evolved to Chip & Icetrain vs Inferno & Scott Norton... we could’ve had entire stables built on this shit. Glacier could come along later on... so many possibilities.

His finisher was sweet!!!!

To me it is 'Julio Sanchez', I remember me and my stepbrother used to laugh whenever he was on TV because of his awesome hair, we always randomly pretend to be Julio when he would fake wrestle in the backyard, as a joke Julio was always the strongest wrestler in our yard, we decided his finisher was "The Julio Choke" where you just put one hand around your opponents throat and then headbang like you are at a rock concert while you do it

I am so sure and confident about that nobody remembers Ludvig Borga from 1993. He was planned to be a champion, but unfortunately his career ended due injury before the title match. He had some matches with Yokozuna as a duo and Fought against Lex Luger if i am right. He even had a match against Razor Ramon and it was a intercontinental match and beat him but the win got denied because Razor's leg was on the rope so the match kept going. And Borga won again but it got denied again and in the end Razor won the match. He also fought in UFC which wasn't succesful at all but he was first Finn to ever fight in UFC. Borga also was In couple of movies in small roles for example Die Hard (1995). and Lionheart (1990) Ludvig Borga also appeared in adversiments in usa. like Tea, bear and pizzas. Ludvig Borga, which real name is Tony Halme was really famous in Finland of course in many ways. Unfortunately he killed himself in 2010 with his gun.

NIIIICCCEEEEE Let’s see if I remember any of these ... I mainly watched WWF back then. Only remember Norman but Disorderly Conduct and Emory Hale had a good look tho

[@paulmeade4862]

I started watching in 94, I remember watching most of them and I've seen the others on KZbin and the Network. Ice Train did return in 2000 as MI Smooth

[@chrisallen7833]

Why do you always say “dubya C dubya”?!? I lived through this era and I don’t remember anyone saying it this way and I lived in the south!

[@willbaker6532]

You're joking right?

[@Theendingman]

Dude everyone called it that even to this day

[@aaronlecklider1378]

Dusty Rhodes on commentary I heard it all the time...

Hi

[@demonocusmetalocus3558]

That sub-zero guy in wcw that went by glacier ,started off great but vanished a very short time later.

[@BrottenGuy]

TOTALLY remember Ice Train. Idk why, but I loved that guy. I also strangely loved Fire & Ice (he & Norton. Was that their officical Tag Team name, though. I feel like the fans just called them that, I’m just to give them somrtkng. ). You’re absolutely also correct, in saying his name really was the most pro wrestling thing ever! I suppose that was a part of his endearment.

[@bernadettejohnstone4529]

Don't tell me who I remember or not haha PS ... I remembered them all

[@bernadettejohnstone4529]

THE JUSTICE ... to see who they included. I am a long time wrestling fan (too far gone to turn back lol)

[@---zc4qt]

I remember: -Ice Train, -Bobby Walker ( a little bit), and -Roadblock.

[@hobsdigree2]

I remember a guy in wwf called "just joe". His concept was actually a really funny and good idea. He'd be in the back and warn a lot of the higher up guys about rumors swirling around. His catch phrase was "you know, the boys are saying..." it would drive a lot of guys nuts because they'd act like they didn't care, and then get angry and be all "OK!!! WHAT ARE THE BOYS SAYING?!!!" then when he'd tell them, it would make them all pissed and he'd say "don't get mad at me, I'm just joe". I actually thought this was genius. You knew he'd never be a main eventer, but for what the wwf and main, top guys needed to push them more, the gimmick was great. He had a couple matches where he performed as a solid lower mid carder, it was such a perfect fit for him and the company.

[@tacofacefart]

"who knew the road could be so long".. that was brutal.

[@curtbombastic]

I remember Norman the Lunatic only for one reason .... before his WWE and WCW appearences, he was a STAR in Stampede Wrestling as "Makka Singh" teaming up with Gamma Singh and he was a FANTASTIC Heel .... he was great back then

[@bryanborland1620]

Curt Bombastic he revived the gimmick in Global Wrestling after he left WCW. He was good there too.

[@dunion711]

How can you miss the fact that Norman the Lunatic wore an aeroplane seatbelt for a headband? Was one of the first things I noticed when I seen him on tv when I was a kid.

[@garrybrown2627]

Ughh 1999-2001 were rough years for wcw..and even ecw...but 95-98 were great...was always a bigger wwf/e fan..i do remember a few of these guys ha

[@Egganopolis82]

Holy shit I remember Akira Hokuto. Talk about underrated talent that went to waste in WCW. She was awesome.

[@sadowolf]

She was one of my favorite joshi wrestlers for a while
