Quick Quips: 1980s Classic “No Holds Barred”

- Something a little different here but I figured why not. We all love a good Rip!

- I don’t think I ever notice that they used the white leather WWF title. Wonder if that was left over from the Warrior’s run or vice versa.

- Not sure of Kurt Fuller is supposed to be playing Vince McMahon or McMahon’s vision of Ted Turner.

- The director of this movie has gone on to have a pretty successful TV directing career. I never would have guessed watching this movie.

- “What’s that smell?!”
“Doooookkkkiiieeee!” – The man who said this infamous line actually has the character name of “Dukey”.

- Wonder if Linda liked Hogan checking out the woman lead over & over again.

- Did You Know: The guy who played Rip’s brother Randy is actually Mark Pellegrino. You may recognize him as the actor who played Jacob on Lost.

- Wrestlers you can see in No Holds Barred:
Bill “Ax” Eadie
Jesse Ventura
Jos LeDuc
Stan Hansen
“Duke of Dorchester” Pete Doherty
Jeep “Ultimate Solition” Swenson

- Zeus’ debut with his belly cut prison shirt, chokeslamming a waitress was a better heel debut than anything WWE’s produced in 10 years.

- If Mike Tyson could get into the Hall of Fame, surely Zeus can’t be far behind.

- Who goes on a business trip & does pack pajamas, only her bra & panties? So unprofessional.

- Okay, definitely didn’t get that masturbation joke when I was a kid.

- Woah, woman beater!

- This movie’s arc: action-action-romantic comedy-man on woman violence-action-action. It’s like a 2000s era episode of Nitro.

- I get it now! Skip Sheffield isn’t doing a Terminator gimmick. He’s doing a Zeus gimmick!

- Anyone who saw Ultimate Warrior’s WCW run will surely remember this mirror scene.

- How is this the only time I’ve seen a wrestler use cinder block bashing as training? Seems so logic.

- It’s like they shot this final match during a taping of WCW Saturday Night.

- Does this ring seriously have 8 sides?

- No one was bothered that Zeus just tried to impale Rip? The people in this movie believe this is a shoot fit so shouldn’t they be worried about witnessing a potential murder?

- Zeus’ selling style is very reminiscent of Johnny Ace taking that GTS last week.

- God I completely forgot how awesome the lead song from this movie is.

    I remember begging for days to go to this movie. My mom hated wrestling, but finally decided to take me…….after she watched it, wrestling was banned for 3 months in our house because she really believed the final match was what I was seeing on Saturday and Sunday mornings.(Superstars and Wrestling Challenge).
