MikeCampbell Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 This was an interesting, albeit short, segment. I liked that Pedicino acknowledged how hated Tojo was before commenting that he was still a human being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WingedEagle Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 Pedicino looks like a substitute teacher. Talks about Buzz Sawyer and Tojo Yamamoto passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteF3 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 I'm not ashamed to admit this--I thought the Dark Patriot was the coolest gimmick in wrestling. I'd never heard of an evil doppelganger gimmick before and him finishing guys off with the "Scud Missile" as opposed to the Patriot Missile just enhanced it. Pedicino does a good job of balancing kayfabe with paying respects when he talks of the death of Tojo Yamamoto. Take note, Larry Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlynwoodx Posted December 27, 2013 Report Share Posted December 27, 2013 This was straight out of the early 90s. I miss the newsroom style segments that used to air on WWF shows around this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garretta Posted January 1, 2016 Report Share Posted January 1, 2016 Nice that the GWF acknowledged the deaths of Sawyer and Tojo, neither of whom ever drew a check from them. It's also nice that they reminded everyone that even someone like Tojo was a human being with a family. I wonder what they did for him in Memphis, where he was both so hated and so loved (at various times) for so long. Bruce Prichard's getting a big push as the GWF's top manager. I can't comment much on his stable (though Big Bad John really seems like a stiff), but I wonder if Vince had any idea of the potential that he let get away. Brother Love might have been something interesting if they'd kept him at ringside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawho5 Posted April 27, 2018 Report Share Posted April 27, 2018 I liked how they handled the death of Tojo. Very classy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted May 12, 2018 Report Share Posted May 12, 2018 Bruce Prichard's getting a big push as the GWF's top manager. I can't comment much on his stable (though Big Bad John really seems like a stiff), but I wonder if Vince had any idea of the potential that he let get away. Brother Love might have been something interesting if they'd kept him at ringside. Bruce said on his show that there was talk about bringing him back as "Bobby Heenan, Jr." to manage Ric Flair, since Heenan was done managing and only broadcasting by this point. Ultimately Vince didn't like the idea, given his history with not liking "Junior". They could have gotten around that by just calling him Bruce Heenan. He also said just before he left Global to go back to the WWF, WCW threw out an offer to make him Steve Austin's manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
