I'm not even touching the second point.
As for the first, If Dick Slater is in a nursing home and refuses to talk to Ric, maybe Ric shouldn't air that information publicly, including what town he is in.
The first fifteen minutes of Funk/Flair is brutal. Just one guy after the next brought up. It's, again, a talk that should have been private, but interspersed with these insanely funny (But very wrong) stories. I'm up to Funk vs the Dog while Flair is passed out in his tub with his clothes on.
No offense, but I think it's a little disingenuous to book a Bash '91 without having already lost Flair. That sort of takes out everything interesting from the equation.
Ha, I'm rubbing off. Sorry.
For those who don't look at SC often, my write up is here, for what it's worth. We agree on the most key points, I think, but disagree on others, as one would expect, knowing you and knowing me.
Steamboat's Uncle Ho is the worst gimmick I've heard in a while.
It's even worse than my Ben Bass-Arab, American turncoat Sheik vs Bobby Bass, American Hero idea.
I see no problem with someone saying that "my criteria is the following. I value it because... And due to that criteria, I find Good Charlotte to be better than the Beatles. I understand that this is a minority position."
Now people might find your criteria ridiculous and that is their right but it's your right to feel as you do. The cost is just that people might not value your opinion in discussions. It doesn't make you inherently wrong. There is a social cost, one that is mitigated somewhat by you explaining yourself.
