I'm here now. No way does Joker Rey win the title. That'd just be a ridiculous image; I don't care how much money that movie made.

Bartlett is not good, but the Vince impression he does for the entirety of the 3/15/93 Raw is pretty hilarious knowing all we know now.

Pretty much all I watch is lost footage now so,... 1983 Jake Roberts: This is the Jake we were always promised and so rarely got. The way he uses his body to stretch out and make use of the whole ring, the complex spots and finishes, the heat. 1983 Buzz Sawyer: Just an amazing connection with the crowd as he turns face, without changing too much and pandering. He let them come to him and not the other way around and so long as he did that, it was magic. Honorable mention to 83 Brett Sawyer who was just great working from underneath. . 1988 Ron Garvin: We had ~30 seconds of him and it was gold. He was such a great pissy heel and it's a shame we didn't get a lengthy run out of this; to see him up against Sting a few months later would have been something special. 1992 Mountie: Same thing. There's a few more dark matches that could be something special like the weird one from late, late 91 with both he and Bret having four guys at ringside for some reason. Totally committed to the act even when he's going to lose in 30 seconds. Either Rey Sr. or Super Boy from the Festival De Lucha: I've seen only a little Rey, Sr. as a rudo and he's both got the look and the attitude to really make it work. Just a scummy jerk with mean offense. I bet there's more out there for me. Super Boy looked like a Brazo turned up to 11 so that's pretty much always going to work. It's a shame that didn't carry forward.

I stumbled back and saw the women's match. First time I saw half of them, I think? Having the 2 beat the 4 instead of being valiant but losing is such bonkers booking. I now want to see a bunch more heel Io.

That was brutal.

Controversy no longer creates cash.

If you told me that, I would call you a scholar and gentleman and devote the community to assisting you.

The worst Bockwinkel is when he's bouncing all over the ring for Verne or Hogan.

We need to know everything about his tape collection including what might be rare.

Given his current lack of bulk, can you imagine the HHH promos.

Primarily I'd love to hear more about the specifics as I've always utilized guesswork on it here. That Arn was opposed is a new piece or information but we don't have enough knowledge to create a framework to understand that information in context. But what I want as much as anything else with this podcast is to hear about the Arn/Cena wrestler/agent relationship.

On today's podcast, Arn talks for a couple of minutes about the first Owens vs Cena match and I'm not even sure what to do with that info. i always felt like Cena's indy pairings, new moves, and shift to excess there was on him as a way to finally shake the Cena Sucks chants, which ultimately worked, and what you do hear here is that a lot of the biggest spots in the match were done against Arn's wishes.

You and Jerome should start a podcast called Tendentious Grounds and Appropriate Mockery

I am a bad human being but I can't wait for the internet to trash Ross and then Ross to go nuts on the podcast this week.

If only he was a completely different person.....

Would The Last Temptation of Jim Cornette involve a Wendy's?

They should rename him Adam Elliot Warrenton.

I, too, dislike Seth Rollins.

I haven't been able to churn through results to figure out what the heck I was actually talking about. I am open to the idea that this was a low level Europe tour too.

They should do it like those Australia tours in the late 80s/early 90s and just send Koko and the Bushwhackers.

Two interesting tidbits from Barry Horowitz from the Payoff podcast: 1.) The best guy to give a press slam was Lex Luger. 2.) Three babyfaces that would always let the heel call 100% of the match without a peep were Brad Armstrong, Tommy Rich, and Tom Zenk.

That'll fix everything.

I'm out tonight but are they putting the NXT belt on Bryan to boost rating on Weds?
