Lucy Lawless Appreciation Thread

I love the Funker. Terry in FMW and IWA Japan was great as he gave no fucks. He did a lot of death matches. Sabu was incredible in Japan. He teamed with The Sheik in his early days in FMW. FMW’s Hayabusa was heavily influenced by Sabu. Both of those guys influenced a lot of wrestling but never get the respect they’re due.

Is he still going? I thought he retired again in 2017?

"According to Mick Foley, Terry Funk is doing “better than it was reported” after it was revealed last summer that the legend was living with dementia. In July 2021, it was reported that WWE Hall of Famer Terry Funk was living with Dementia and residing in an assisted living facility in his hometown of Amarillo, Texas."

That's sad, it's a wonder he's still alive at all at this point though, same for Foley.

He did retire and this one is real. He has dementia now. I know that Sabu has been very tight with Terry Funk since he got in the business, like almost a father-son relationship and I remember hearing he has been in contact with the family & Terry throughout his dementia diagnosis.

That’s sad, at least he lived life to the fullest and will be remembered as one of the greats.

"The first European to arrive in New Zealand was the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642. The name New Zealand comes from the Dutch 'Nieuw Zeeland', the name first given to us by a Dutch mapmaker."

New Zealand is named after Zeeland, a dutch province, so she's kinda dutch anyway.

I thought it was named after the Danish island Zealand. Fawkin confusing.

In December 1642 Dutch navigator Abel Janszoon Tasman was the first European to sight New Zealand's South Island, and Dutch cartographers named the territory after the Dutch maritime province of Zeeland.

Cook and subsequent British arrivals didn't rename the islands, but instead used an Anglicized version of the Dutch name, and so “Nieuw Zeeland” became New Zealand.

CLOGGED!

Bull Nakano is based. Someone post the gif or clip of her doing the legdrop off the cage and missing the other bitch.

Wrong one, still a cool move though.

 

[Riccardo Bosi]

Oh shit, she hit that one.

There's another one where she misses completely, but the force is so strong she bounces back on her feet instantly. Her hips have to be fucked up.

Not only is she based, but I always found her to be hot. She tried to ugly herself up, but that face and booty are fine. She became a pro golfer after wrestling and surprisingly is not a dyke. She was fired from the WWF for cocaine possession, pretty bad ass reason to be fired. She was a Megadeth fan and would wear their shirts sometimes through her career. In My Darkest Hour was her theme in Mexico which I just found out.

Her theme in Japan is legitimately great.

She sounds megabased to me!

Then there was Nakano’s partner Dump Matsumoto

Dump Matsumoto was a fantastic monster heel. She was a tough bitch for sure.

Seeing this old school women’s Japanese wrestling is a good reminder of how much the current product sucks. It’s all tiny women wrestling over there now and no big heels or faces beating the hell out of their opponents. The same in the USA. It all looks too choreographed these days, throughout all of wrestling.

That’s way before my time but i know that song. I didn’t know he was that big in Sweden.

His funeral was televised here, that's how big he was. I never cared for troubadours myself. It's about old-timey sailors buying prostitutes in South America and stuff.

Never heard of the guy, after listening to the song i'm glad i know none of his music.
