Junkyard Dog

I watched my original VHS copy because I'm sorry, just the original music is just so much better.

I mean, when you have Terry Funk come out in the beginning and he's talking about beating up the junkyard dog and he spits the tobacco juice in the camera, you got the exorcist theme playing in the background.

Just so much cooler than the garbage music that WWE piped over on the network.

Then you talk about the matches.

You know, they weren't all that spectacular.

Funk versus Junkyard Dog was somewhat comedic, especially after Junkyard Dog ripping off Jimmy Hart's pants and then trying to brand them.

And you realize that the branding on it was just basically ink, which was pretty funny.

Piper's Pit, Hillbilly Jim, Uncle Elmer, Cousin Junior, you! You, you.

Houston's a historic wrestling city that's had so many great Moments and events, including a brutal dog collar match.

You got to check out with Junkyard Dog and Butch Reed at the old CM Houston Coliseum.

Houston also hosted the greatest WrestleMania of all time.

WrestleMania 17 in the Astrodome.

And there's other people that I've felt like this too, where it's like, I think somebody, I can personally think someone is like pretty awesome and, and understand it like you know what they're probably not the best fit for the wrestling observer hall of fame whether it's from longevity or consistency which i think is kind of the issue with takayama like we were talking about this with adam where it's like if you watch like 20 takayama matches like the best ones you're like oh takayama like amazing but there's a lot of times where he was not

that good yeah he'd be in the hair hall of fame you know like no question um But then historical, last year I voted for June Byers, Wild Bull, Curry, Junkyard Dog, Mad Dog Vachon, and Butcher Vachon, and the Von Eriks.

I was thinking about Cowboy Bob Ellis this year.

I don't – Junkyard Dog is the one every year I go back and forth on.

And Wild Bull Curry, I was sold on the idea of him being a trailblazer before.

But hearing arguments now again this year and looking into it, I – I'm trying to figure out, you know, if I, if I will vote again, but I probably will like, uh, what's really the harm on, on that.
