........ The Sequel ........

How do we define Old School? This blog is gonna catch some heat. That being said, this isn't to insult anyone. I don't care how old you are, wrestling fans vary from 5 to 105, but we 'gots to have some ground rules' LOL

I recently read a thread calling the Attitude era 'old school'. (and the Rock's 'attitude' towards it.)

When your name is the definition of bringing in the New School, you can NOT be old school. 

FOR REAL

The Rock is still young people. You better not let him see that thread, broseph or you are DONE, SON!!!!

The following terms do not apply when referencing the 90's, "Back in the Day" "Way back when" "Oh my god dude, that was sooo long ago" (i'm getting arthritic typing this.)

DX and Evolution is not Old School, Just really REALLY Kick A$$

The Four Horsemen, that is old school. (wooo is also old school)

Junk Yard Dog, that is old school

The High Chief, that is old school (his roll was known and it was called, the OPENER OF DOORS)

Hulkamania is old school.

The Million Dollar dream, that is old school.

Shane O' Mac, NOT old school (he lived the dream though didn't he .... That son of a ... *cough cough* ... I mean, I'm not jealous, not at all)

Oh yeah, big one here - If you are under the age of 20, you do NOT get to define what is and is not OLD SCHOOL (Big Daddy Kane said that so you know it's true. If you don't know Big Daddy Kane as well as Big Daddy V or Kane ... well he was the guy who informed us that 'pimpin, is in fact, not easy' ... See? Truth. (this is not a dig at you it is simply old school law)(you didn't know about the old school law book? OHHHHHHHH! You know why? Because you ain't old school!!!!

Ron Simmons = Old School (Damn! Even older than that)

Andre the Giant - KING of Old School'land and all that he could see.

Bruno(The Champ) = Old School. If you don't know who that is, stay out of the North East, FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY MAN!!!!

Look, the Old School List goes on and on. If you're Latino, and you like wrestling, the name Carlos Colon rolls off the tongue as easy as Felix Tito Trinidad or even the great one, Roberto Clemente. Bottom line is, I can't name all of them, BUT, I'm old enough and so are a select few of us, that WE get to write them down, WHENEVER WE WANT!!! (mainly because our joints don't work like the rest of your's  and this is the last activity we can enjoy.)

So go, go out and play in the sun and sand. While we, The Old School, continue to grow more and more arthritic. Grumbling about punk kids trying to redefine old school and push us out. 

Quick Latin Unification ...

Calling Carlos Colon, El Pachuco is risky. Applying more mexican terms to famous puerto ricans, so in honor of OLD SCHOOL, i shall summon the aura of Dusty Rhodes who would so beautifully say something like, "hey we got to blend together baby, we got to ALL blend together) And if it's good enough for the American Dream, it's good enough for me.

The American Dream is Old School

FINAL THOUGHTS

Nathan's Hot Dogs are old school

Slow Cooked BBQ (read J.R.'s Blog) is OLD SCHOOL (J.R. = probably the best resource to define Old School as he is Old School magic!)

Basic Cable is ... Old School

Going to see a House Show ... Old School

Wrestling fans of all ages .... Old School (we sold more seats than the Pope in Ford Field people, and that Pope was WAY OLD SCHOOL!!!)

WOOOOOOOOOOOO!
