As of a year or 3 ago I think 8 grand was the bonus for entering the HOF Bundy refused to go in unless he got a WM match and payoff

This is a pretty Grouchy Hateful Vile human Being rant from his recent blog

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dIeEqtJZCzs Here's the semi famous Kitao vs Tenta mini shoot from 1991

Black Bart's shoot is awesome for sheer BS level: He claims Dusty Rhodes came up with the Undertaker gimmick, and that Black Bart was supposed to play that character. He also claims he's the biggest locker room legend in today's WWE (for his antics back in the day) Piper had a warrant for his arrest, so Bart pulled a car up to the ring w/ Piper in the trunk, popped it, Piper wrestled, and then hopped back in the trunk and they took off. Oh God, Black Bart actually just claimed he was offered 180 grand to star in a Fox Network sitcom based on his, Dutch and Moondog Rex "Desperodos" gimmick. Flair told The TBS execs "We can't have these jabronis star in a show" So WCW released them and the Sitcom was canceled. Ronnie Garvin would get sexually excited when you worked "stiff" with him. He actually called himself vs Sam Houston a "Main event" match. Of course the place was sold out, and of course they had such a great match, the other 4 "Main Events" of the evening couldn't compare. Vince McMahon wanted to bring him in and work the upper midcard and offered him a "job for life", Bart declined, so when he went to WWF a year or 2 later, Vince made him a jobber out of spite. A week after Mike Von Erich got out of the hospital, Bart carried him in a match for 45 minutes, then asked the ref "Is this the boy who just got out of the hospital?" After the ref said yes, Bart said "Oh **** " and took Mike down and pinned him. When David Von Erich died he laid in his hotel room for 2 weeks with the A/C shut off and stayed there til Fritz came to Japan 2 weeks later and snagged the body. He claimed to have threatened Jose Gonzalez (Brody's killer) with a knife shortly after Brody's death. Bart said in 1991 the ring crew was all 18 or 19 year old ***** men, and Vince had a tour bus for them, and would spend an odd amount of time on the bus with the gays. He also says Lanny Poffo was gay, and came on to him. Vince found out Bart told Lanny off, and Bart was released shortly there after...

I thought the implant story was a long while before his release. Keith wins this round.

I'm reading "Wrestling's One Ring Circus" (I know, I know) Keith just wrote "Gold Dust was fired for asking Vince McMahon for breast implants, to enhance his character. I don't recall that being the reason at all.... Tell me otherwise guys...

Didn't the story line play out as Steffi hired him so she could secretly control?

Nitpick here, but in the Raw rant from 97 he gives Taka vs Tajiri ***1/2 stars for a sub 3 minute match.

Keith had listed magnum TA as being drunk when he crashed his car in 86. A few hours later he edited his blog and said his sorry's to Magnum.

Starcade 86 UPDATE. Fat Tony lists Ronnie Garvin and Dusty as the 2 men in consideration to Face Ric Flair. Apparently Nikita swooped in as a dark horse. Also features a "drunk" Jimmy Valient talking about being in 'NAM like the Ragin Bull AWESOME stuff!

Did Doug Gilbert's 1997 Memphis Live on air shoot get any coverage in PWI or any other mags? WOW was a insider mag, but i don't think that was around til 98 at least

Any memories of the night he and Jackie Gleason worked an angle?

Jim Ross new blog entry QUOTE On today's wrestlers' priorities: Listening to some young wrestlers talk amongst themselves recently, I was shocked to hear of the variety of subject matters they so "profoundly" discussed. IPods, IPhones, "I" period but nothing about wrestling, counters, submissions, paying their taxes, saving their money, hiring a financial planner, preparing for their future....you get the picture. It is easy for many of today's wrestlers to bitch and moan about their position in their chosen profession or lack thereof and provide an overall woe is me version of their lives to whomever will listen but change for the better, or worse, starts with looking in the mirror. I walked away from this inadvertent eavesdropping shaking my head but thinking that young wrestlers are no different than young stockbrokers (bad analogy), young professionals, etc. All company's can do a better job in putting the right tools in the hands of their people but only the people themselves can make the tools work for them. Broke and seemingly helpless wrestlers from any era can largely blame themselves for not having the common sense or discipline to prepare for their futures.

Sunny did move merchandise Not sure about "insane amounts" though

They are announcing that Larry Hennig is ahead of Jackie Fargo in referee voting on the 900 line in an attempt to drive up calls. Deliciously Carny

Good lord Dave was marking out like crazy at the Crockett Cup, those ***'s were flying around like crazy Road Warriors vs Powers of Pain *** Sting & Lex Luger vs Dick Murdoch & Ivan Koloff ***1/4 Those were the most shocking pair for me
