Video Dump: 6 Classic WWF Championship Match-Ups

Before there was the WWE, there was the World Wrestling Federation which saw the likes of the most famous wrestlers ever to crack a chair on another dude’s back. Wrestling icons like Hulk Hogan, Randy Macho Man Savage, Jake the Snake, The Ultimate Warrior and more, were big draws in the ’80s, when wrestling began to really catch on around the country. WWF was full of huge guys, crazy wrestling moves and lots of drama. A  testosterone filled soap opera starring bigger than life wrestling characters that would, talk smack to each other and fight ever weekend. The drama would usually come to a head in the form of a Pay-Per-View event where you’d finally see all the wrestling beefs get settled (for a small price) via a flying elbow to the face.

Here’s six classic WWF match-ups that were pretty epic.

HULK HOGAN VS. THE IRON SHEIK

JAKE ROBERTS VS RICKY STEAMBOAT

OWEN HART’S FIRST WWF HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP BELT

HULK HOGAN VS RANDY SAVAGE

    The film projector at Edmond Town Hall should not hidden behind a second floor, a balcony really sucks because you never see where the light is coming from.

    What they don’t want to tell you is that they have to jump when they get suplexed to assist in their own demise. Thats how they make it look easy so they are only picking up half their weight so they dont have to strain themselves as much when they are attempting to do suplexes, which they do too often right-handed instead of left-handed. They jump when they get powerbombed.

    By George I never noticed why they would have to have peoples names and words on the back of the seats at Edmond Town Hall movie theatre in Newtown Connecticut.

    Have you ever had the kind of childhood that looks a little like the Worldly Wrestling Federation, where your spun in the air in a giant swing during recess dropped on your hands and wrists while his so-called friend just stands there being a Saul of Tarsus? I know what it’s like.
