That's crazy talk. Big Evil was awesome.

Well, it was an accident. The whole "Taker's Crew" thing is talked about in detail in the Godwinns' shoot interview, now that I think of it, as they were part of it.

Ah, SILVER is the key.

Bravo. Although I never rooted for the Dog or Henrey over Foghorn. Foghorn was one of my heroes. And I totally agree that eventually you cheered for Wile E. against Road Runner. The one where Wile E. explains to the children WHY he wants to eat the Road Runner truly embodied the old "The best heels are the ones who think they're in the right" deal. Legs that taste like a Double Martini? Who wouldn't want to eat a Road Runner?

Ah, I misunderstood.

Ah, it's all with love. Rob's a great guy. He's probably the most fun person I've ever sat with at a wrestling show.

Wait, Dave thought that advertisers would drop off as soon as thy realized Hogan wasn't a "great wrestler"? Oh, that silly mulleted man.

"You'll love him Vince, if we bring back the midgets he can be their announcer."

And nobody cares. Are we REALLY supposed to start feeling bad for Wally Walrus because Woody Woodpecker fucks with him? Are we supposed to feel bad for Muraco cause Hogan scraped his back with his nails? Are we supposed to feel sorry for Margaret Dumont when Groucho is insulting her? What a pussy way to look at things.

Again, Randy Savage is the at top of my list.

Terry and Dory vs. JYD and Tito from Mania 2 is most definitely a great match. It blows away the Dream Team/ Bulldogs match. I think the Terry/ Hogan match from SNME is pretty fucking great, as well.

I don't know...when I read "Best U.S. Worker of the 90's?" I immediately thought "Randy Savage."

I remember the story about Vince running into Ole at that time and saying to him, "Join me Ole, and I'll make you rich." and Ole replied, "Fuck you and your wife, too."

Couldn't it be explained as easy as "The Brisco's were smart and saw what was going to happen"? And then add in how much they hated Ole. Granted, I'm going on the stories about the relationship between Ole and the Brisco's.

This is so awesome.

I gotta be honest....I always enjoy a group lambasting of the WO Folk. It may be petty, negative, and pretty much a waste of time.....but I always get a chuckle because people make jokes instead of getting all indignant. It's just always nice to be reminded that there is no singular voice or set of opinions about wrestling, and I get that here. But the historical stuff is my favorite. The Jerry Blackwell stuff recently has been just great. Especially the Jerry Blackwell porn folder!

Where Inoki has it over the Right Reverend is the fact that he actually looks like a god. Hephaestus split open Inoki's chin to birth Athena.

Was anyone else watching SportsCenter Tuesday night? I was at a bar and the sound was down but I noticed Flair in a couple of segments and was curious as to why he was on the show.

And even when talking about Hulk Hogan, during his first year as WWF Champion his "Hulk ups" were awesome because he'd have had the shit kicked out of him for most of a match and he's be drenched in sweat and often wearing the crimson mask when he'd point and go "YOU!" He sold the beating he had gotten during the Hulk up just by looking like someone had just kicked the shit out of him

To be fair, it must be a shock to go from working 80 hours a week to working 0 hours a week, so it must be hard to know how to fill that time. I'd be finding a new job, not doing a million podcasts about my ex employer.

When I was 14-15, I hated the Andersons. I thought they were boring. I liked Arn's TV title matches but I always rooted for the face. I loved Arn's promos, but when it was Ole and Arn in a match? I automatically got bored. For instance, I was ringside at Starrcade 86 in Greensboro for the Andersons/ Rock and Roll Express match and was bummed that Atlanta got Flair/ Nikita. Years later after re-watching it I realized that I was there for an awesome match that blew away both Main Events in Atlanta. And that the Anderson's were fucking awesome. Edit: Holy shit, I forgot my biggest flip. I used to absolutely hate the Undertaker. I hated all the goofy shit, I hated Paul Bearer, I hated the Zombie shit, I hated everything about him. To me he was THE poster boy for stupid early 90's WWF shit. Now? I love Taker.

The question that popped into my head was can McDevitt hide behind that when WWF's guys aren't "employees" but independent contractors? I would imagine so since HIPAA isn't there for the company, it's for the individual. For instance, a hospital can't make your condition public and you don't work for the hospital. It's gotten so serious that at one Nursing Home I worked at wouldn't let us post our patient's Birthdays on the bulletin board, in fear of violating HIPAA.

As someone who works in healthcare and has had to nearly memorize HIPAA over the years, I can say that a company can't reveal employee's medical conditions. And what STD that clears up in a few weeks could a guy not wrestle with? It's not like Nash literally fucks people he works with.

Ah, Wrestling was super-hot when Verne got Slaughter on a silver platter. Slaughter at the time was pretty much just as big a star in the WWF as Hogan was. Considering that Verne had the syndicated Pro Wrestling USA show AND ESPN, he could have made a run at Vince with Sarge as Champ, but they instead created "The Americas Title" for him to chase underneath the title programs.

That reminds me off this thing I posted some years ago.
