    And he was still pretty young when he did leave. But I don't think he has any regrets about being in Junior's machine that took over once he did leave. He didn't have any major breakdowns, drug and/or legal problems. I don't know the specifics but it sounded like he just left on his own terms, which to me goes against the idea of a "fall from grace". Then he came back when it was clear Vince was going to feature younger and smaller guys.

    Pretty sure you have the date wrong for this show.

    This just sounded destined for failure.

    Were it not for his back issues that took him out in '91, he probably would have had a better shot at it.

    He was over, but no way they would have put the belt on him. If he was in consideration, it wasn't for long I'm sure. Putting a guy with that kind of physique was the last thing they wanted to do, in the face of the steroid scandal. His gimmick was over with me, but I really dug his theme music.

    Someone getting divorced 4 times at Ric's age is nothing special, but that they all came in the last 10+ years is worrisome.

    Oh he did indeed. Especially at house shows.

    We should make a definitive thread for everything that pisses us off about current WWE programming, and how much better it was "back in the day".

    I'm glad Heyman isn't in this. Sometimes it's better for a documentary to not have a person who's a major focus of the piece not in it, and show as much about the person through the other subjects being interviewed. For example, as good as it would sound on paper I don't think it would have made for good documentary cinema if Michael Moore interviewed G.W. for Fahrenheit 9/11. Not nearly the same, but you hopefully get the idea.

    I can buy that, a little. He was starting to come into his own in interviews, more personable. He was even interviewed for the A&E biography on Mick Foley, quasi-in character. I'd always wished he stuck with the biker character, it seemed a good way for him to ride out (literally) his career.

    I'm curious about something, want to know what you guys think. Undertaker left in mid-1999 (or maybe sometime later in the year, it's all fuzzy to me), and came back the following year with the biker gimmick. I have a bit of a hackneyed theory that he changed his gimmick (which was very evil, close to Satanic by the time he left) because of his role in beating Austin for the title the night Owen was killed in the middle of the ring. I haven't heard any other reasons why he (alone or maybe in collaboration with Vince and/or the writers) chose to change the gimmick, but if any of you know more about this I'd like to hear about it. It's a sad bit of irony, that on top of that incident, his first match was Bret's first match after his other brother had passed away.

    What I want to know is, do they need WWE's permission to use certain footage? And if they can't get it, will that be a roadblock for it's progress?

    The USA special opened with a clip from the end of the Sheik match.

    I think he might have been mentioned once or twice since he was doing that WBF saturday morning show on USA that lasted a few weeks.

    He said it was up there one minute, down the next.

    My brother put it on my Facebook. Maybe his source was erroneous.

    Announced on the WWE's Facebook page: "BREAKING NEWS: Paul Levesque a.k.a. Triple H has been promoted to the post of CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, effective from October 15, 2012. This also marks the official retirement of Vincent Kennedy McMahon from all the affairs of WWE."

    This sounds awesome and intriguing in a way none of the other documentaries have been. I have to admit I'm rubbing my pennies together in hope that they breed, but I wish Dylan's friends the best of luck in getting this funded. For my part I'll spread the word as best as I can.

    It's been well established how much inventory they have kept over the years. I'm sure they didn't pay anything insulting for something that's basically a link to how the company started.

    He was lucky the FBI didn't haul him away.

    Don't forget Angle's milk bath.

    They had their funny moments. It wasn't consistent, but some of it was comedy gold in my opinion. The one with Shawn giving random people backstage his finish had me belly-laughing.
