Nick B HOF

Online World of Wrestling is pleased to welcome Nick Bockwinkel into its Hall of Fame!  Mr. Bockwinkel had an amazing career and his inclusion into the OWW Hall of Fame is long overdue.

OWW’s radio host Alex Goff wrote this tribute to Mr. Bockwinkel:

During his time in the American Wrestling Association Nick Bockwinkel helped define what it meant to be a world champion.  Three times he held their world tag team titles with “The Crippler” Ray Stevens.  Managed by the legendary Bobby “The Brain” Heenan this combination showed the world true tag team excellence.  Nick also is four-time AWA world heavyweight champion, second only to owner Verne Gagne.  Nick Bockwinkel put the word “professional” in Professional Wrestling and was considered by his peers to be an excellent wrestler, with great technical ability, ring psychology, and charismatic promos.  In 2007 he was elected president of the Cauliflower Alley Club, a non-profit organization.  It is our pleasure to welcome Nick Bockwinkel into the OWW Hall of Fame.

Online World of Wrestling is pleased to welcome “Stone Cold” Steve Austin into its Hall of Fame!

Online World of Wrestling is pleased to welcome “Stone Cold” Steve Austin into its Hall of Fame!  Steve had an amazing career and his inclusion into the OWW Hall of Fame is long overdue.

OWW’s radio host Alex Goff wrote this tribute to the Texas Rattlesnake:

“If you strictly look at the beginning and the end of the career of “Stone Cold” Steve Austin it would make sense that he would be regarded as one of biggest wrestler stars ever to compete. Steve Austin won multiple rookie of the year awards when he debuted in 1989. Austin quickly found himself competing in World Championship Wrestling and despite performing well he didn’t see the potential that others assumed he would meet. He had a brief spot with Extreme Championship Wrestling before being brought into World Wrestling Federation. He fought and talked his way into being one the of the most popular performers the company’s ever featured. “Stone Cold” Steve Austin is not only a hall of famer but if a Mount Rushmore of Professional Wrestlers was ever constructed, there’d be a strong argument to include his face. And that’s the bottom line…”

3-nights 42-matches of pure fantasy

Posted on by

Written by Darbie Gatorade

When I am bored I often have to deal with an unsuspecting flow of creative juices. Someone recently challenged me to come up with some fantasy booking ideas and I sometimes get carried away. What started out as a fun little game ended up being a 42-match marathon. When you read down this list of matches, please remember that wrestlers are assumed to be in their prime.

In my mind this is the ultimate wrestling show (which would end up being a full blown weekend of incredible matches). In fact I have split the madness up into three nights, with three strategically booked cards, each with multiple epic main events. I took a lot of time organizing the cards so the shows would flow in a manner that would keep the fans attention. It’s not as easy as it looks, considering I set a rule that I could only use a wrestler once for the entire weekend. This my attempt at fantasy booking.

Look at each match, close your eyes, and imagine how the match would play out in your head. You might find your own creative juices flowing. You’re encouraged to leave comments at the bottom of the page. Please use your imagination when you read this article and enjoy yourself!
