Hmm we have centers

just sayin......

It's true. I would not be opposed to trading a center to EDM for the right return on LW. Unfortunately, there's no way you're getting Taylor Hall without blowing up the team. But I'd take Perron. Had career season last year.

Please. Those dudes can't drop a line like, "Be a man Hulk, come on don't be scurred, you're runnin from Macho that's what I heard."

Also, not a fan of some old wrinkly man or a guy formerly known as "Stunning Steve."

I still remember Flair in his 80s heyday, he and the Horsemen were awesome!

Also Austin in ECW and WWF pre neck injury was great in the ring

Perron would look good on first line, but what would it take to get him?
If Hextall was to make a deal I would prefer something to upgrade the blueline.

No need to make a trade. At some point, another Jussi Jokinen or Grabner will get floated through waivers and the Flyers will have one of the first cracks at 'em.

I saw Ox Baker passed away recently at the age of 80.

I wonder what would happen if the Ox hit Jody Shelley with a heart punch.

More the mid to late 80s, even the very early 90s. I think Andre was gone well before 2000.

Yep he did. It's kind of pathetic that I know his real name. I was obsessed with wrestling when I was a kid.

My fave era was late 80s-early 90s WCW, less cartoonish than the WWF and great wrestling. Flair, Steamboat, Sting in their primes and great mid carders too

Met Ox twice. He was one of the nicest human beings I ever met. He was a great heel in the ring -- had that LOOK, size and booming voice -- but wouldn't harm a fly in real life.

True story about Ox, back during his active days, wrestlers tried to keep kayfabe and stay in character in public (especially when they were as instantly recognizable as he was). Baker struggled with that, especially around kids. Johnny Valentine once told him to stop being so damn nice because he was spoiling the image!

Haha...I had no idea what his real name is. Hell, I thought Hulk Hogan's real last name was Hogan until he started doing more movies
