By far my favorite Hacksaw moment was when Duggan was in WCW and Tony claimed Duggan was an intelligent man and Bobby Heenan lost it and started to crack up hysterically the ENTIRE match.

Living in Denmark, 'Hacksaw' is the only name wrestler I've actually seen, yet alone 'met'. I got a big hug after his pinfall victory and he could not have been nicer. It's obvious why he was a career babyface

My favorite Hacksaw moment was when he was chasing Volkoff during the match at WM 3, and chases him through the ring, stops, turns around while Sheik has the camel clutch on one of the Killer Bees, and whacks him on the back with the 2×4. Sheik sold it well.

@@dalynsanders I like JR and Arn's honesty and not holding back. I agree with you on Eric cause I would like to hear his side of when he fired raven and his outline for the kiss storyline which raven said involved him

[@dalynsanders]

@@danielescalera6638 I feel like Jr's a constant red ass. And it gets a little bit too much sometimes. But entertaining nonetheless. Arn is pretty damn cool.Eric is the most lucid. Even though he does go on tangents that aren't necessary sometimes. Kind of the personality of his show. Tony might be the funniest. But their shows are long. And sometimes hard to get through. In my opinion Bruce's is the best. Their format is pretty good. They stay on topic pretty well. Solid banter.when it comes to honesty. I can't really say any of the five are completely honest. Because I really don't know. JR definitely is letting it all hang out. But that includes good and bad feelings towards people.but at the end of the day they're all still carny folks so it's kind of hard to say that they're telling the truth. But they definitely are keeping me tuned in!!!

Greg Willams Duggan was an example of someone back then who didn’t really need titles to get over. But he did have accolades of his own. First televised Royal Rumble match winner, held then title of King (won from Haku, dropped it to Randy Savage). He also did go on to hold the WCW United States and TV titles.

Just realised Hacksaw wasn't booked on Survivor Series 92, Royal Rumble 1993 and Wrestlemania 9.

[@JMaxwell85]

From late 92 till he left in mid 93, Duggan was pretty off and on, so he didn’t really fit into the plans for those PPVs. He was actually announced for the 93 Rumble match but was replaced. At a taping before the PPV he was put out of action by Yokozuna, though that didn’t actually air till a couple weeks after the PPV anyway. So not sure why he was replaced.

Because I was so young I could only compare him to the big guy on that other show. He was our Hogan here in MS/UWF. Crowd fu@#ing loved the guy. Listening to wrestling stuff on the internet 2 things seem odd. When it comes to the Tough guy. 1. The kids who are amazed at the crowd response in his run in the WWF when he won the rumble. 2. Then the old b@stards talking about his heel work with JYD. (Yeah I just insulted both people younger and older than myself) Him feuding with skandars team of Kamala and OMG is the first feud I remember. Fireball to the eye and everything. You might be forgetting (possibly on purpose) trying to turn him Canadian in WCW. They apparently weren't smartened up on everything. You see, when it comes to uh....controversial herbal medicine back then. Your going to be dealing with many....many people. Who you would never call a friend. Probably not to the same degree as a babyface and a heel. Not too far off though.
