Road Warrior Hawk vs. Bobby Starr WCW Saturday Night 10 -28 -1995
Nobody can like two things equally.
It's just not possible. People (parents) will tell you ( me) they like something ( my brother) the same as something( me again), but that's not possible. There is a reason people play games like Fuck, Marry, Kill or Desert Island....because deep down there are honest answers. Gun to your head, we all have a favorite Backstreet Boy. It's Nick. That said if someone has a gun to your head answer A.J......that's a very A.J fan thing to do. Sometimes it's easy and sometimes it's hard. For me I can tell you I'm all about Mark Hoppus and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes without even batting an eye. But if you ask me to pick my favorite member of The Lone Rangers, we'd be here for a while. I think it's Steve Buscemi,...no it's Adam Sandler....but I mean Brendan Frasier is a babe...I...I don't know. Wait, we're getting distracted by my own hypotheticals. The point is when it comes to this stuff, you have to pick.
Even in Wrestling
This is not about Jannettys ( sup Georgie), because in theory a Jannetty is a member of a tag team who doesn't achieve as much success as their partner. No this is about, which member of the tag team you like more. I don't want to hear the " like them both the same" crap. It's just not true. STOP LYING TO ME DAD. I know for every Bret guy, there's at least a few Anvil fans. For all the Eaton Disciples, there's a Stan Lane fanatic . For every Marcus Bagwell, there's a guy pretending to be him on twitter. There's always an answer
Road Warrior Hawk is my guy
I know there have to be people who prefer Animal, but ..like....how? Road Warrior Hawk was so cool. He had the crazier haircut, he had the crazier face paint, and he had the craziest promos. He's pro wrestling Bobcat Goldwaith. They're almost similar that when I found out their voices weren't real I was heartbroken. Him and Animal were legendary squash match wrestlers, and I'm very excited to see them working together in the blog. For this first edition, I decided to take a look at Road Warrior Hawk's singles run. Animal was sidelined with injuries for a few years and so Road Warrior Hawk got some singles work in Japan, ECW, and finally WCW. As a kid I was stoked. I mean I liked the Road Warriors, but I LOVED ROAD WARRIOR HAWK. He was always a guy I wanted to be a world champion, so I was super stoked.
Tonight's opponent is Bobby Starr who has maybe the most beautiful mullet I have ever seen in my life. It's immaculate. He looks like a male Selina Majors. Off the bat Hawk with a big choke toss and we're underway. Hawk with a press slam too, and oh my god how did I never realize how steroids where a thing. It's funny to look back on these matches and go, yup that guys carrying way too much muscle on his frame. Hawk starting an asskicking here and then gets him in a....oh its a chinlock......oh...ok he's just getting ready for a big move . Finally he gets Starr up and....punches him. Oh. Uh-oh, Starr in the corner and Hawk is going to kill him know as ROAD WARRIOR HAWK....puts him in a front facelock
E tu Road Warrior Hawk?
It's pretty dull. Hawk does hit a nice dropkick and some chops, but it's your classic don't do anything squash match. A fist drop, a stomp here and there . The usual. Hawk climbs the top and comes off with a top rope clothesline, which does look good, for the win. Not very good and pretty disappointing honestly. I do wonder if this is a microcosm of why The Hawk run didn't last. I am very disappointed
Now I need to find a Road Warrior Animal match to compare
TLDR Review
Hawk is awesome. Until he's not. I wish my hair looked like Bobby Starrs
If you're interested in more condensed version of my thoughts, You can check out my Twitter where I talk about wrestling or stress out during Boston Celtics games. Hell, I'll even take suggestions for matches you want to see reviewed. You can also check out my Youtube where I make weird videos where I put on wigs in front of a camera to mask my true identity.
