Since someone mentioned a possible Bundy babyface run I was reminded of this, which I first heard about on WWE's Jake Roberts DVD. He talks about this briefly in one of the deleted scenes, in reference to the Legion Of Doom faction that was around for a little bit in 83-84.

Are there any gaps in World Class stuff at the moment? New stuff from that era seems to have dried up lately.

I'm used to waiting a year on stuff but Netflix has been dragging a bit behind which is worrisome. House of Cards usually loads up in February/March but this year it didn't come until the last day of May. (I noticed this with Homeland too, but I think it was made clear it would happen in those cases, because the election had caused such a stir in the waters that they needed the extra time to integrate elements of it into their shows as much as possible) Worst of all is BoJack Horseman's new season will come next month, after dropping in July next year. I have a picky sense of humor and need desperately something to laugh at.

I watched this last week and was surprised at how good Dusty was on commentary, deferring to Tenay's expertise on the cruiserweights when necessary but still throwing his own 2 cents in as well at times. The series of matches these two had were some of the highlights of this time in wrestling. Not having been exposed to such a high-risk style before, what those two did kind of blew my mind.

Flair had one match prior in MSG, 15 years before against Pete Sanchez.

Tony's looking well for someone who would be easy to cop to being old and fat.

But you can get the real scoop on the WCW hotline.

There was a show on Cinemax last year, Quarry, that had a 2nd episode entitled "Figure Four". The show is set in Memphis in 1972, and the pivotal scene of the episode takes place during a wrestling card.

Wasn't he talking about working a match with Buddy Landell in the early 90's?

Meltzer said he's out of surgery but by no means out of the woods. I remember something he said in a shoot interview, basically about how he couldn't see living if he were paralyzed, and that his father (a doctor) told him that the will to live is stronger than you know.

He was hospitalized a few days ago. The first word out was that it's nothing serious but last night on Twitter, the director of the doc and his agent asked for prayers and positive vibes.

The Supercard show with King Kong Bundy is great. He's a very perceptive, funny guy.

I once read that Dream Theater, Chris Jericho's favorite band, was almost going to do a song for him. Jericho met guitarist John Petrucci backstage somewhere, and they chatted up the idea almost to the point of a song being born but it never happened. I like them (at least their old stuff anyway) a lot so that would have been cool. I saw on reddit a few days ago that X-Pac was asked by Shane if they could use a song the Red Hot Chili Peppers offered up, and he turned it down instead requesting something by Uncle Kracker.

Speaking of Terry Funk

This would have been perfect for Vader

His Paul Heyman is passable, but I'll reiterate that if I never hear his Cornette again it'll be too soon. He does an immaculate Dusty, and an okay Piper, an okay Savage. One that was a bit out of the blue recently was Triple H, but I'd have to hear more to judge. One that's sort of bad but was so funny that it gets a pass was the time he did a commercial as Demolition Smash, during the WrestleMania VI show.

The worst of those WCW-produced songs was the one for Ricky Steamboat and Shane Douglas. Thankfully that team didn't last too long and Steamboat went back to that nice instrumental piece. But the one I like the most was Cactus Jack's theme.

I'm surprised we haven't done a major thread on this already, but it's certainly something that has been important over the years to the product, of most any company. So, what's the best/worst song or piece of music you can think of that someone has ever used?

Better than picking up a bone and bashing the guy next to you I guess

I've thought that all along, that his perspective is unique enough to really pierce through the criticism. Even if I don't believe him, that's what he believes. I never really expected it to be very confessional, more of an idea what it's like inside the WWF/E bubble.

I can't think of another match where whoever won or lost was of the least importance.
