Scott Keith has no idea why a barefoot wrestler would tape his ankles.

WHAT Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's not true, though it's possible that it was referred to by name in print much more than it was on TV.

Were Steele and Davis even feuding?

Not necessarily, WWE's been involved with that stuff forever.

He didn't act like he does when he's guessing, he's acted like he does when someone tells him something definitively. Also:

So, last night's Raw featured: - In the style of the Rey-Chavo/Vickie feud, Randy Orton as some sort of Chris Benoit/Michael Benoit/Cary Ichter/et al combination (Meltzer confirmed this was why the angle happened). - Shane McMahon laying out their top heel, handling his lackeys easily, and punching out a rising babyface, all while completely blown up and throwing the worst punches ever.

I didn't think he necessarily meant that Flair was a bad worker because he called matches in the ring, just that he had trouble adjusting to not calling his matches when Bret was calling them and/or laying them out in advance.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Though I have flirted w/ turning LLT.net into a general nostalgia & such site w/ clippings/program/etc scans, history pieces, old TV recaps, etc, that also has a podcast.

Just got those DVDs, Mr. Ito = Ueda. Ueda vs Bob Holly 2x!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought this was pretty funny. Huh?!?!?!

Are you sure the descriptions are from Meltzer and not the Wikipedia editors?

Something something Collette something something.

Missy on the end of WCCW's glory years.

Ueda's Pensacola promotion? Not sure if I knew it was Ueda's until I read this but yeah, his WOW ran Pensacola for a while while Ron Fuller's USA ran Knoxville and David Woods' CWF ran Alabama. They briefly worked with WCCW as part of the latter's "open door policy" in '88, leading to a really fun WCCW TV match with Pat Tanaka and Ron Starr vs Jason Sterling and Steve Casey.

So the Vince interview compelled me to look at various old Vince stuff, including the video of the infamous Trish Stratus dog barking angle on YouTube. It really says something about the women in WWE right now and the WWE body image issues when 2001 Trish Stratus looks much thicker than almost all of them:

From the F4W/WON forums, but I might as well put it in this thread... From a "Vince's delusions" thread: Dave on the whole Ted Turner obsession including some stuff I don't think he's mentioned before: Someone replied: To which Dave replied:

She seems smart in terms of the wrestling business but dumb in the real world at various points: Not necessarily dumb but somehow it seems appropriate here:

Amidst McDevitt and Vince cutting promos on Congressmen over asking if Vince has used steroids & HGH since '96 and a bunch of "We put smiles on people's faces" speeches, this may be the highlight of the Vince interview:

Waxman brings the reading material including a long Vince interview and all sorts of stuff.
