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.

Probably the former. When it comes to VHS there's not really a whole lot upgrading you can do, as opposed to film. Definitely not VHS. What format then?

Hogan in the middle of the Attitude Era, to me, would seem as weird and out of place as thinking of him in Jim Crockett Promotions a decade before. I rag on the AE here a lot but one of the positives of that time that I will give it is that it was when they had finally done away with the ghosts of the major success of the 80's. I think Savage would have been a better fit because he was more intense and could be as believable as someone like Austin or Rock at their best were.

It'd be great if they added another live stream, of just old, pre-Monday Night War stuff going 24/7. Another couple years of dumps like we've seen lately, it could be more than feasible to do.

Probably the former. When it comes to VHS there's not really a whole lot upgrading you can do, as opposed to film.

More like Sting in the Horsemen.

I met Bobby Heenan at an autograph signing in 1999. It was at a record store, so I asked him what kind of music he liked and what the wrestlers liked (I think Van Halen was playing inside and he said "stuff like this"). I asked him what Tony liked and he said "little boys in closets".

Bullwhip Johnson was a 15 year Vet. Nobody seems to know anything about the Indian. Based on available talent, Owen Hart and Ronnie Garvin would have been a swank Team Canada vs. Saito and Muta Believe it or not, I think Garvin was still working WWF house shows as late as November of that year.
