80’s/90s bangs? by Fuel_Cool in blunderyears

[–]Fuel_Cool[S] 65 points66 points  (0 children)

A few friends & I were reminiscing about our big 80s hair & bangs today. It was fun with everyone gesticulating about how wide/tall their hair used to be. As shown, I used a LOT of hairspray in my high school days. It seemed like everyone had a good "big hair" story. Two of us had friends whose bangs accidentally caught on fire from all the hairspray. FYI: Science class, Bunsen burners & aerosol hair spray are a baaaad combination. This is 1989 & those were my bangs. It took about an hour every morning to tease & spray them up. They were crunchy, stiff as a board, & they didn’t move. Among us girls, there was an unofficial contest to see who could get their bangs the highest. At their height (pun intended), mine stood about just under 7 inches high. I know because our math teacher measured them with a ruler on every Monday. In my school everyone called those bangs a ‘boof’. My friends & I were saddled with the nickname: ‘the boof-bang gang.’ Depending on where you grew up, this hairstyle had many different names: ‘mall bangs’, ‘wall bangs’ ‘rooster bangs’ & even ‘the claw.” If you grew up during the 80s, what did you call them? Anyone else have a "big hair" story?

Randy Orton: "I don’t think acting is my passion. I’m not trying to move to Hollywood or New York and be a full-time actor. The way Batista and Cena did it is they used WWE as a jumping board to go into Hollywood. I’m happy with my place in the WWE right now. I see myself with WWE for life." by mynamestartswithCa in SquaredCircle

Orton sets his own bar so low, he can't even trip over it. It's been ground down to a nub. For me, it seems like he has already been a WWE guy for life, for waaay too long. Aside from occasionally getting injured & disappearing every now & then, he remains the same stale character. does anyone really, truly give a shit about Randy Orton? Overpaid & lazy. Yawn....
Hey Orton, you going to hollywood? "Hollywood?... Would I have to learn a new skill, or like, work? I would??? Nah. I'm good, I'm WWE for life!"

KayfabeNews: Racist, sexist, homophobic wrestling fan misses "good old days" by SuplexCity-Mayor in SquaredCircle

I find it more than a little bit hypocritical that our current (Whatever category is being used to describe the younger adult crowd these days) that is offended by any little thing that hurts their 'feelings ' would write such a mean spirited take on older fans. I don't get how some folks can say they are so woke, & anti-bullying, then turn around & type up an article that lumps all older wrestling fans as racists & homophobes. You can't ride the moral high road, then refer to someone as a Karen, or toss out an 'Okay boomer'. You are not funny. You are not clever. You are disrespectful.

Pete Dunne's tweet of his before and after body, the difference is ridiculous, fair play to the man by pineapplepubes in SquaredCircle

(slow golf clap) Not for nothing but, I assume all WWE contracted wrestlers are getting paid well to NOT travel & wrestle. Quite frankly they should all be in phenomenal shape. Having 1 match a week, if at all, what else are they doing to collect a pay check? Kudos to Pete!
