Just for laughs. Which Dirt Late Model Drivers would be a current or former Wrestler?

[HoosierDirtFan]

THANKS to Josh Bayko for the Thread idea.
Just for laughs. :)
Which current or former DIRT LATE MODEL DRIVER would be a current or former WRESTLER?

[zyoung25]

Bloomquist....Triple H. I can see Bloomquist jamming out to some metalhead. Both have a lot in common personality wise. They both dominated the sport for years as well. I don't think we'll get a better comparison of driver and RASSLER than those two. Probably the only 2 people on the planet that could pull off an enthusiastic crotch chop after a victory.

Chad Stapleton would have to be Stone Cold IMO.

[One Man Gang]

Since Bradsher going to court guess he can be hulk hogan

[One Man Gang]

Bub McCool would definitely have to be Sheamus

[Josh Bayko]

Scott Bloomquist = The Jet Flyin'. Limousine Ridin' 16 time champion Ric Flair. WOOOOOOO!

Billy Moyer = The Undertaker. Always really good, but generally never considered the best in his era. Has more or less reduced his schedule to only the biggest shows.

Josh Richards = John Cena. Came in as a young, thuggish punk with a brash style. Over the years has calmed down and become quite the respectable character that wins titles but will still throw down if necessary. Kids and women absolutely love him, grumpy old dudes hate him.

[Pennsboro23]

Doink The Clown - Jack Sullivan.

[TTS_JF]

First thought was Bloomer Triple H

Devin Moran = Dean Malenko
Greg Johnson = Harley Race

[Barbecueboy]

This is a great thread.......

Danenport = super fly snuka or Ricky steamboat

High flyin bad a zzes


Was thinking Stapleton to be more like the American Dream......son of a plumma

[Barbecueboy]

Devin and lil Bobby plus big Bob..........midnight express managed by Jim cornette?

[a25rjr]

Dennis Franklin = "The American Dream, Tower of Power, Too Sweet to be Sour" Dusty Rhodes!

[Barbecueboy]

Lanigan......ravishing Rick rude

[Barbecueboy]

Christman..........iron sheik

[a25rjr]

Jared/Gavin Landers= Jack/Jerry Briscoe

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

Bloomer would be " horn swoggle". Or may be........

"GOLD DUST"

[Bloomerfest]

JD and Kevin as the Bushwackers!!

[wildman31]

I'm thinkin Davenport would be the the show stopper Shawn Michaels lol

[NSR 11]

I think Bloomer is Mankind! Just watch that sock it may have tire dope on it!

[HoosierDirtFan]

Who would be one of these guys / Tag Teams:
Ultimate Warrior
Kane
Macho Man
Bret Hart
Yokozuna
Lex Luger
Arn Anderson
Roddy Piper
George The Animal Steel
Kevin Nash (A.K.A. Big Daddy Cool Diesel)
Scott Hall (A.K.A. Razor Ramon)
Legion Of Doom (Hawk & Animal)
Demolition (Ax & Smash)

[NSR 11]

Dennis Erb as Kane

[aflack83]

Jackie Boggs is for sure Big Van Vader!!!!! hahahaha

[Barbecueboy]

The legion of doom would have to be the Conley can, no?

[Josh Bayko]

Sadly, it seems Randy Weaver = Daniel Bryan. Was really coming into his own and head injuries have taken him out.

[RiffRaf67]

I am saying Bloomer should be Eddie Guerrero.....wait for it....
Cheat to Win!

[jlacey]

Piper= Davenport. Piper was a madman and JD drives like 1

[plunks7]

I would go with Josh and Mark Richards as Rick Flair. WOO, WOO.
Also Lanigan as Vivian Vachon.
Bloomer is the Crusher.

[jlacey]

The legion of doom would have to be the Conley can, no?

I was thinking since there's a 4th Conley now they could be the 4 horsemen. Woooo. Or the Hennan family

[zyoung25]

I was thinking since there's a 4th Conley now they could be the 4 horsemen. Woooo. Or the Hennan family

There is 4 of them. Delmas, Rod, Rj and Jt....done deal, they're the four horsemen.

I think Erb would make a good Sting. I'm talking black and white facepaint mysterious Sting. Worked alone, never talked, and carried a bat.

Randall Chupp is already one step ahead of us....he has the wolf pack "TOOOOO SWWWWEEEETTT"

[jlacey]

Hell yeah thats perfect for Erb!

[stewart fan]

Bloomer would be Sting

[jlacey]

Bloomer could pretty much be any 80s or 90s wrestler with the hair do. Would be hilarious hearing him cut a heel promo in victory lane

[Barbecueboy]

So would all of this creative thinking lend itself to saying Sam could be the fabulous moohla?

[Barbecueboy]

Hell yeah thats perfect for Erb!

Yes it does..... And the conleys as the four horsemen is epic.

Mike hammerle....the junkyard dawg maybe?

Mark Richards.....Paul bearer.

[zyoung25]

Tyson was in wrestling at one time.....can Casey Roberts be Iron Mike?

I'm gonna have fun with this thread. I sit here and keep thinking of some sort of connections between drivers and rasslers.

[SLIDING SIDEWAYS]

You got the
MACHO MAN

CAPT LOU ALBANO

THE GODFATHER

STONE COLD STEVE AUSTIN

THE ROCK

THE DUDLEY BOYS

MICK FOLEY & SOCKO LOL

THE WYATT BROS

UNDERTAKER


ANYBODY GOT DRIVERS TO FIT THESE?

[jlacey]

Lol i like that, i was tryin to think of 1 for him but that definitely works.

[jlacey]

Paul Bearer lol. And Josh as Harvey Wippleman

[jlacey]

Darren Miller always reminded me of Rob Van Dam when he spoke. Roberts could work as Stone Cold also

[Barbecueboy]

Paul Bearer lol. And Josh as Harvey Wippleman

A definite lol........

[Barbecueboy]

Darren Miller always reminded me of Rob Van Dam when he spoke. Roberts could work as Stone Cold also
If we are going with Casey as stone cold, then his entry music has to be the classic from l.l.cool j.

[Josh Bayko]

Brandon Overton's nickname is Big Sexy, right? That would make him Kevin Nash.

Kevin Rumley = David Otunga. Highly educated badass working behind the scenes.

Tom Deery = Vince McMahon. That should be pretty obvious.

Rick Schwallie = J.J. Dillion. Running things "down south".

[jlacey]

If we are going with Casey as stone cold, then his entry music has to be the classic from l.l.cool j.

Haha that would be awesome. I think it was Davenport that had rap playing from his hauler, Casey should just have mama said knock you out playing on a constant loop

[jlacey]

Yall got me really thinking about this now. When i 1st read this i thought dude this is stupid, now im all into it lol

[zyoung25]

After seeing a pic of the man.....Allen Murray is Goldberg. He looks like his twin brother. "Who's next?" Definitely needs to be on his spolier. I know very little about Murray, but looks alone should let him be Goldberg.

[plunks7]

When I seen him. I thought he was a MMA fighter. He don't need any pit guys to back his ass up.
Perfect fit for him zy25.

[Barbecueboy]

Sounds like we may have all burnt up a few hrs in front of the tube, no matter which era.........not ashamed to admit I enjoyed the entertainment at a few civic centers and national guard armories back in the day also.

[71PRPFan]

Don Oneal or the King, you decide

I'll happily admit I still take in some wrasslin'. Sometimes you need to just forget about the harsh realities of the world and get down with some pretty mindless entertainment. Plus, all the WWE ppvs for 10 bucks a month is pretty sweet.

[SFrancisFan15]

Billy Moyer - Mr. Perfect
Scott Bloomquist - The Iron Sheik
Donnie Moran - "The Million Dollar Man" Ted Dibiase
Rambo - Bam Bam Bigalo
Shane Clanton - Giant Gonzales
Casey Roberts - Ken Shamrock
Jackie Boggs - Earthquake
Jonathan Davenport - Buddy Rogers
Delmas Conley - Rick Flair
R.J. Conley - Arn Anderson
Rod Conley - Tully Blanchard

Yeah i used to watch religiously as a kid, then again when the whole NWO thing took off in the late 90s. Ive tried watching recently and just cant get into it when it just seems like a bunch of male models running around in their underware. Plus all the she hulks in there. Paige can get it tho

[jlacey]

Who would be the Freebirds?

[Josh Bayko]

Who would be the Freebirds?

Clanton, Jughans, and Heckenast

[Barbecueboy]

Who would be the Freebirds?

The carpenters with a guest appearance by Chris Garnes???

[jlacey]

Both of those sound good, the Capital crew and the Carpenters. Was there ever a father and son tag team? Was thinking the rock n roll express with the Carpenters but they werent related

[dirtdobber45]

I think of the Conleys as the Von Erichs. the Simpson brothers as the Brisco brothers.Jackie Boggs as the Big Boss man. Mark Richards as Lou Albano. Josh as flyan Bryan Pillman. Bobby and lil Bobby as Dusty and Dustin. of course Bloomer as Ric Flair. Davenport as the Rock. Lanigan as Ronnie Garvin. Eckert as Ricky Steamboat...Francis has also made me think of the kid on Mad magazine lol

[Clayton_Wetter]

Who would be the BUSHWHACKERS?

[jlacey]

I cant think of any Australian lm drivers but the Madsens in sprints could be the Bushwackers

[aflack83]

Bub Mcool kind of reminds me of one of the Bushwackers lol

[Slideways]

I think Randy Weaver could be "The One Man Gang".

Dennis "Rambo" Franklin could be "The American Dream" Dusty Rhoades

[yardman]

Bloomquist would easily be Adrian Adonis... same build and all

[Highside Hustler25]

This has got to be the most stupid and ridiculous thread I have ever seen on 4m. I can hardly believe this many grown men, along with being Dirt fans, could have that much of a infatuation with wraslin? I don't watch it and never will. You know that stuff is fake don't you? You should all try to watch more educational programing such as National Geographic or the Discovery channel. A mind is a terrible thing to waste. And oh yeh, Dennis Franklin is Bam Bam Bigelow without the ink. Carry on:D

[jlacey]

Its still real to me dammit!

[One Man Gang]

Hey now HH thats profesional fakery.

Anybody remember the 20/20 episode when John Stossel asked David Schultz if wrestling was fake ?

[jlacey]

Or Vader in Iraq or Iran i think

[plunks7]

Who would be the BUSHWHACKERS?

Lanigan and Oneal?

[Highside Hustler25]

Anybody remember the 20/20 episode when John Stossel asked David Schultz if wrestling was fake ?

Or when Jerry Lawler shower Andy Kaufman how fake wreslin was.

[Raceready]

THANKS to Josh Bayko for the Thread idea. Just for laughs. :) Which current or former DIRT LATE MODEL DRIVER would be a current or former WRESTLER? Wouldn't it just be easier do it with the NASKY drivers since their organization is said to be pretty much the WWF on a blacktop circle instead of the squared circle with the way that they control the outcome of so many of their events ?

[dirtdobber45]

Hey now HH thats profesional fakery.I havent watched since Stone Cold retired and yes its fake but its a mans soap opera lol..that was good HH lol

[dirtdobber45]

Wouldn't it just be easier do it with the NASKY drivers since their organization is said to be pretty much the WWF on a blacktop circle instead of the squared circle with the way that they control the outcome of so many of their events ?Actually when WCW was around they did sponsor a car (cant remember if it was all season) but they had an ad out using some of the wrestlers as the pit crew

[jlacey]

Yeah i remember Kyle Petty driving an NWO sponsored car. Cant remember who had the WCW car

[dirtdobber45]

Its still real to me dammit!(Anyone not getting that you can google the statement above)That was too funny, poor boy needed some nerve meds lmao

[dirtdobber45]

Yeah i remember Kyle Petty driving an NWO sponsored car. Cant remember who had the WCW carSteve Grissom Jason Keller and Lance Hooper all drove WCW cars at one time or another...I Googled it lol

[jlacey]

Thats right i remember Grissom now. Didnt remember the other 2. And yeah that dude in the video had some issues. I know they still get injuries and cant fake a chair shot to the skull but even as a kid I knew it couldnt be 100% legit

[dirtdobber45]

Yeah I always thought there shouldve been more blood (nose mouth area) lol

[plunks7]

I watch it faithfully Every Mon. and Thurs. nights, unless I am at a race track. Back a few years ago their was a Wrestling show called GLOW. Gorgeous Lady's of Wrestling. It was fantastic!!!! Late night show.

[dirtdobber45]

Late night show.Yea I remember that show... those girls dont hold a candle to all the ladies that have been on WWE Trish Stratus Sable Lita....yummy lol

[x5lives]

Bloomer reminds me of Nick Bockwinkel, Californian arrogance

[One Man Gang]

If Bloomer was blonde headed he'd look like Greg the hammer Valentine

[zyoung25]

Billy Moyer Sr as.....Val Venus. He's had that 70s porn star soul patch for awhile now. Val always knew how to SMOOTH talk the ladies back in his time.

[SFrancisFan15]

Ben Shelton - Michael Cole
James Essex- Jerry ''The King'' Lawler
Dewayne Keith - Joey Styles
Rick Esthelman - Tony Schiavone
Dave Argabright -'' Mean'' Gene Okerland
Dustin Jarrett -?
Bobby ''The Brain'' Heenan - ?

[Krooser]

The former PR guy for Hales Corners Speedway Ned Wicker promoted a statewide pro-wrestling league call the Wisconsin Wrestling Federation. 1980's.

When I was the GM at 141 Speedway we ran a Wednesday night program that was called 'Racin' and Rasslin" where we ran streeters, Econo-mods and one other support class then, during intermission, we rolled out the 'square circle' and finished the night with wrestling.

Often our Wednesday crowd was larger than out Saturday night program.

Ned and I hatched an idea... he regularly wrestled under his WWF banner and he wanted me to become his ringside manager and have me be the 'heel' while his character was the 'baby'. After just a bit of training I decided that getting tossed around the ring by some other goon and dodging beer bottles thrown by little old ladies just wasn't for me.

I'd sooner roller skate in a buffalo herd... with Blackie.

[Mindwalker]

Good story broham... Tell it again!!!! 😂

[Krooser]

Sometime I'll post a photo of me playing trophy girl at 141 at 12:01am on New Year's Day... First race in America in 1985.

[Mindwalker]

You said "playing with" right?

[Barbecueboy]

So Sam Driggers would be the fabulous Muhla???

[Krooser]

You said "playing with" right?

No... Playing as pretending....

I remember seeing a photo of a certain trophy girl you were chasing back in the day...

[Josh Bayko]

Ben Shelton - Michael Cole
James Essex- Jerry ''The King'' Lawler
Dewayne Keith - Joey Styles
Rick Esthelman - Tony Schiavone
Dave Argabright -'' Mean'' Gene Okerland

Bobby ''The Brain'' Heenan - ?

If we were going with modern announcers, I’d go with Shelton as Corey Graves and Jarrett as Tom Phillips.

[SFrancisFan15]

I agree Josh but I figured some of the old timers on here wouldn't have a clue who they are.

[clanton25fan]

Shane Clayton as Hillbilly Jim

[nuff said]

Both of those sound good, the Capital crew and the Carpenters. Was there ever a father and son tag team? Was thinking the rock n roll express with the Carpenters but they werent related

The Funks.Dory Sr tagged some with Dory Jr and Terry.

[AllenK]

Don't know who to compare them to,but gotta put Bill Frye and Johnny Virden on the list. Mike Boland and Mike Head would make good ones also.

[clanton25fan]

Mike Head and Billy Clanton could be Ole and Arn Anderson. The Georgia Wrecking crew.

[jhanson]

"The King of the Outlaws," Steve Kinser (410 sprint cars), was runner-up in the Indiana State Wrestling Tournament as a sophomore and was the state wrestling champ in both his Junior and Senior years. He was champion of the 132-pound class. Kinser said how the quickness required in wrestling drills, plus the mental toughness to be competitive, were lessons learned which helped him to be a champion sprint car driver.
Jim Hanson
Pine City, Minnesota

[SFrancisFan15]

Kinser was on top for a long time much like Bruno Sammartino was.

[jhanson]

Chris Wall from Louisiana could be ALLIGATOR WALL

[jhanson]

Yes, Bruno Sammartino the pro wrestler would be in his early 80s now, if he is still alive.

[zyoung25]

Do we have a Ric Flair?

[TBSprintFan]

Been a Kinser fan since the early eighties, but it sure would be hard to picture him now in the 132 pound class lol it would be at least the 232 lbs+ but hey I was the same way when I was young too and then with age the pounds creep on. He also gave Sammy Swindell an a$$ kicking and not just on the track a few times too.

[TBSprintFan]

Yes, Bruno Sammartino the pro wrestler would be in his early 80s now, if he is still alive.

Pete Parker in wrestling would equal Baron von Raschke and the claw, because Pete has such big hands and if he ever got a hold of you with them and was mad, it would be lights out for you.

[Cardirt0]

So Sam Driggers would be the fabulous Muhla???

No he be Gold Dust... LOL

[Cardirt0]

Do we have a Ric Flair?

No one could drink that much and still drive a race car...lol

[AllenK]

Rick Eckert is Tommy Rogers from The Fantastics.

Another Sideline Note: Probably 25 years ago I drove into the old Atomic Speedway west of Knoxville, Tennessee. It was not a racing night but I wanted to see the track because one guy said the banking on the Atomic track was similar to Cedar Lake. I was surprised to see kind of like a small carnival set up at the track. If I remember correctly, there was a tent awning and ring ropes. I asked what was going on and some people said they either had or were going to have a pro-wrestling card at Atomic Speedway. ---hee hee hee---I kid you not. I ain't been eating bad
mushrooms. Maybe you could incorporate the name of "Atomic" with some driver who was a regular at the old Atomic Speedway. Jim Hanson----Pine City, Minnesota

[Clayton_Wetter]

I'd say the Jerry Lawler/Don ONeal is a spot on match.

Also Oneal won a state wrestling championship in high school, Indiana.

We all know who King Kong was! Hope he is doing good medically.
