Aw man the good old days.... I remember growing up watching this Saturday mornings with a big bowl of Cereal... NWA, Memphis Wrestling was the best...

When you're so southern your last name is South.

That’s my trainer right there, George Freaking South

Was this the match? South said in Flair's book that he was shocked to see Flair dressed to wrestle at TBS. Flair sat down next to him and said, "George? How would you like to be Ricky Steamboat today?" Flair and Dusty had an altercation earlier (what a shock) and Dusty made him wrestle on TV. Years later, South said that Flair told him afterwards that he almost threw the match just to spite Dusty.

George South, one of the best jobbers ever.

George has given & given & given to the wrestling subculture & every top guy who worked with him (and there are many many of them) say that he was the best at what he did & was, expected to be, i tend to agree & wish George all the very best in retirement.

Ric Flair once quoted about George South... "He was my favorite guy to wrestle".

Flair can't even get that top rope spot to connect with George South. I know he's connected at least once. I wish I could remember.

Funny enough, ric didn't want to wrestler, so he told George today you are ricky steamboat

An airplane was about to crash. There were 4 passengers on board, but only 3 parachutes.
The 1st passenger said, "I am Steph Curry, the best NBA basketball player. The Warriors and my millions of fans need me, and I can't afford to die." So he took the 1st pack and left the plane.
The 2nd passenger, Donald Trump, said, "I am the newly-elected U.S. President, and I am the smartest President in American history, so my people don't want me to die." He took the 2nd pack and jumped out of the plane.
The 3rd passenger, the Pope, said to the 4th passenger, a 10 year old schoolboy, "My son, I am old and don't have many years left, you have more years ahead so I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute."
The little boy said, "That's okay, Your Holiness, there's a parachute left for you. America 's smartest President took my schoolbag."

I thought it was a knee-lift, but the commentator called it a drop-kick. Was it a wrong call, or was the knee-lift of today called a drop-kick back then?

[harveyevanss]

Alright, who else thought it was Donald Trump on the thumbnail 😂
