Bugsy McGraw I remember from the old NWA, in that little studio. I remember his elbow drops. That’s about it. And yup he looked like a drunk aviator lol
Landell needed the little red wagon to pull the belts around !!
Was Brian Christopher doing an homage to Landell? I thought he was doing something original
WE SO BAD, WE EAT POPEYE!
not bad enough to eat Church's
@@canderson5098 Lol, now that's a good'un!
Popeye's Chicken is the shizzzznit
@ericthomas7560 Agreed. Their Shrimp & Fish are Quite Underrated, as Well
I was watching GG Jr make the shit flub. Pretty shocking stuff for a kid in that day. 😂
I'd like to think Travis does these images without any kind of previous information, and just sends random stuff to whoever and they just work lol
One time my uncle was talking about the Gilligan's Island where the guy flew the wrong way or whatever & landed his plane on the island...I was like,"oh, you mean Bugsy McCgraw?"He was like,"you mean,wrongway Feldman?" I always thought that wrong way Gilligans Island guy was Bugsy McGraw ...he looked like him with those aviator glasses & stuff.
Buggies was in WCCW in the late 80 's 90's
1st and Bugsy was nuts
Bryan Blake no to “1st”, but yes, he was fuck nuts crazy.
Imagine being in a car with him and Billy Jack. Not only were they nuts, they were tough as nails
Hi Bugsy M!!!!!
Porkchop Bobby Cash was quite influential in Mississippi. The great Mississippi State offensive tackle Porkchop Floyd Womack was nicknamed as a tribute to him.B.W.
Bullshit
"The airplane people are on Lawlers side" - Terry Funk
Jerry Lawler is nothing more than a yeller egg suckin dog!
That guy in the picture is so tough that he can strap a bucket of caviar to his back and ride a motor scooter through Greenwich village.
A Guy Told My Buddy at a GasStation One Time..."We Ain't Got No Pie!" ... What TheGuy Was Trying To Say Was...TheGasStation Didn't Have POWER...To Operate TheGasPumps!
Don't forget that Bugsy McGraw was big in Texas wrestling for Fritz as a heel with Gary Hart and then a face with Sunshine.
Great feud with McGuirk as The Beautiful Brute vs Eric The Red who tuned babyface after the Brute squashed Eric's "brudder" who was never seen again.....any idea who Eric's brudder was????
Bugsy's promos as a heel were awesome.
buggsy i remember from the magazines when i was a child in nyc..we didnt have nwa or world class so in the northeast area or nyc itself it was magazines many bought to learn of those territories. when i was around 11 i think the nwa finally appeared in nyc on wpix 11. it was the power hour. got to see buggsy, porkchop and others but it was verry little they were used. most were then on wccw world class on a uhf station in ny that landed in that market before the nwa got on wpix 11. there buggsy was used more. it was fun to watch buggsy wrestle. he was just the crazy wild guy sometimes coming to the ring in a suit coat and hat or tie lol. he didnt win all the time but for a guy with his persona he was good.
BMG was a United States champ in the California NWA. Might have been intriguing to see him as the outlaw lunatic brother of Rick McGraw in the same manner of Buzz and Brett Wayne Sawyer. Both McGraws were part of "The First Family" at different times in Memphis. Miss the late great Rick very much and have fond memories of him from Southeastern and the very early 1980s WWF. Great to have a shout out for Bobby Cash and Iceman Parsons on here as well.B.W.
He was The Brute in the Pacific Northwest and could really move for a big guy. His running power slam was his finisher and very impressive
nomikes: Is it just my imagination or did the sport's more colorful rogues to put it mildly set up shop in The Northwest as a general rule? Moondog Lonnie Mayne, Buzz Sawyer, Bugsy McGraw, Playboy Buddy Rose, Lord Jonathan Boyd, Billy Jack Haynes, some guy named Roddy Piper...every last one a real card and all made the Portland territory at one time or another.😂B.W.
@@madbrowniac7871 The Northwest was a training ground for many wrestlers, a good payday for wrestlers that had outlived there welcome in other territories and was a very reasonable area in terms of travel distances to venues. It was basically a universe to itself and, it seems, a good place to work
I Agree with Corny About the Iceman in Dallas. King Parsons Was, Along with Chris Adams, Among the Very Few Non-Von Erichs to Get Over in World Class ... Both as a Face, & Later Even as a Heel
Do you have any Norvel Austin stories?
rember him as the brute on all star wrestleing from vancover
Corny never replies on here....lol
Jerry Phillips He’s too old to figure it out. His wife helps him use Twitter.
He doesnt check messages or comments on here... He has someone doing it for him. So when i see trolls trying to troll corny on here i laugh cuz he never is going to see it lol you will have better luck on twitter.
Bugsy’s promos were out there. Can’t imagine how he came up with the sh!t he would say.
Loved his stints in WWWF and WORLD CLASS! "Sick Power", baby!
Mushrooms & acid
With Jerry's chicken salad recipe 🤑
😮
Goddamn Popeye's
I didn't know Koko B Ware also worked as Sweet Brown Sugar. I always known Skip Young as Sweet Brown Sugar.
Same here
He did this in Memphis after Skip Young. He really got over as SBS after losing a loser leave town match. He used the name, but wasn't trying to act like he was the same wrestler. Everyone knew it was Koko and his run as SBS was the heels trying to unmask him to prove it was Koko not honoring his word to leave town
@@williamcordier1201 thanks for the info
KBW was also known as "Stagger Lee" in MidSouth when Ted DiBiase tried to convince everyone in Kayfabe that the orange and green clad stranger was actually the banished Junkyard Dog. And no "Stagger Lee" wasn't a Miami Hurricanes fan near as anyone knows!😂🤣😂😏🎤🐶🐺💸🌀🏈🤼♂️B.W.
I’m crying over here!!! OMG this is funny!!
Why Jim Cornette serves food to Biggie Smalls on the thumbnail?
Ronnie garvin’s face went up like the challenger
I grew up in Memphis and on classic Memphis wrestling in general so this should be interesting!
THaBootyologist Love your name!! Hilarious!! 😄
