I disagree about Vader. When he was in the ring with guys who could really go, i.e. Flair or Michaels, he had good to great matches. It's when they put him in with other behemoths that it went bad.

i guess my lasting memories of him are from the end of career when it was obvious he was done. and i couldn't stand him on the mic.

what was his finishing move off the ropes? i seem to recall it actually being impressive.

Before he got morbidly obese, Vader used a moonsault as a finisher for a time.

for classics that most don't know of, flair-luger in florida before luger was mainstream was a string of classics with most going 60 minutes or close. crockett promotions, i believe, was working to get luger over at the time.

The only thing harder to watch was Vince giving him a main event push when he returned to WWF after that redneck trucker gimmick in wcw.

even as a kid, i hated that the "beating" he suffered at the hands of Nailz wasn't permanent.

there was some wretched mic work in that feud as well.

it's front page on yahoo. i'm already getting P*ssed about the accusations. oh so he contacted someone a day early. give me a break. i'm sure the ole ball coach kept within the rules when taken over the cocks job. mods if you see fit to move this to the other thread that was started go ahead. my roomates are already giving me crap, i'm just blowing off some steam.

Kiffin clearly stated in his introduction today that he took the test before he contacted any recruits, so I think Spurrier is just being Spurrier. No need to worry.

He didn't break a rule. He passed the NCAA recruting test and was contracted as coach as of Friday.

Nailz was right there with the Blacktop Bully and Repo Man in the pantheon of awful gimmicks.

I liked it when Big Boss man cooked Al Snows dog, made Al eat it, then took a bite himself saying "Taste like CHECKen."

Spurrier's still trying to figure out why he can't get top recruits to come to south carolina.

Welcome to the SEC, cheater. Signed, Ol' Ball Coach.
By Matt Hinton
Welcome to Tennessee, Lane Kiffin. Your grace period ended 12 hours ago:

South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier questioned whether new Tennessee coach Lane Kiffin broke an NCAA rule when he called a recruit a day before he was introduced as the Volunteers’ new coach.

According to a story published on VolQuest.com, part of the Rivals’ network, Kiffin and former Gamecocks recruiting coordinator David Reaves called Tampa running back Jarvis Giles on Sunday and left him voice messages.
[...]
"You’re supposed to have passed the NCAA test and be on board, I think. But maybe he was just calling him as an interested observer," Spurrier said today, laughing. "I don’t know. But technically to be able to recruit you’re supposed to pass the NCAA test."

Wow, kid. Unless you're Nick Saban, it usually takes at least a winning season before opposing coaches start accusing you of recruiting violations. They're already accepting you in the club! (If you're going to get accused, anyway, just make sure your next alleged violation really counts).

Meanwhile, Kiffin was determined to show during his introduction today that he may be naive and unprepared to lead a major program, but he's not backing down: Echoing Jim Tressel's "In 310 days in Ann Arbor" speech at Ohio State, Kiffin told reporters "It's going to be fun hearing 'Rocky Top' after we beat Florida next year." Cute, but a little forced.

I'm not saying Tennessee's not going to beat Florida next year in Gainesville. But has Lane Kiffin ever heard "Rocky Top"? Played 200 times over the course of three hours? He's not from Tennessee, you know; he hasn't been immunized to the repetition, or bred to appreciate the intricate sublimity of "Corn from a jar." Win or lose, by the end of the game, he'll be calling his agent about NFL openings just to get away from it.

UPDATE: A couple very concerned Vol fans have asked me to note that Kiffin addressed the test in question at his press conference, and said he took it last week. So there you go. The post is about Spurrier, since -- like most allegations of recruiting malpractice within the ranks -- this barb would be exceedingly petty even if true. But for what it's worth: Kiffin said he passed the test.

Kiffin took the test last week. CSP is just pissed off that Kiffin is going to steal SC recruits, not to mention a member of his staff.
