Rants

Old timey

By Scott Keith on 2 June 2024


Hi Scott,

Dick The Bruiser, Ed “Strangler” Lewis, The Crusher. These names for a while were synonymous with wrestling frim an older era. Granted there are a limited number of ways to describe maiming, but are names like this relegated to the past in a “real names/reality” era or one day will the old adage of “what’s old is new again” come to pass and we’l see a return of these type of names?

Oooo we need a good BONECRUSHER name again. They tried a revival of Man Mountain in the 90s but it never really stuck. But yeah, they always come back.
