Stan "The Lariat" Hansen (6'4", 321#) is the opposite of almost everything else on this blog, thus my interest, perhaps. He's one of the non-Japanese pioneers of stiff style wrestling, which (according to Wikipedia) he attributes to his poor eyesight. He played the archetypal "violent cowboy who wanted to fight everybody," and to a large extent he did exactly that in a ring career that lasted just over 28 years. He capped off an enviable career in the USA with arguably even greater success and acclaim in Japan, which inspire the snarky title (with apologies to Hokusai) and concept of this post.

  1. Amazing collection. Perfect mix of gifs and stills. I'm curious, where did the video game gif come from?

    1. I found everything on Tumblr, Eli. If you search "Stan Hansen" on Tumblr, you should be able to locate the individual blog sources.

  2. What I love about Hansen is that he doesn't need crazy storylines or fancy gimmicks. He doesn't even need a lot of finishing moves. Just one single larait can knock you out cold.

  3. WOW --- nice tribute here to one of the all time classic shit kickers! Good to see a big old schooll brawler like Hansen featured on Skull Island… (he’s probably appropriate for the “real” Skull Island)
