BigBadMick Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 I got the Crockett History thing with Jim Cornette yesterday. I'm only about 20 minutes in but so far it's interesting. He gets to play the historian and talk about stuff he likes so there's minimal ranting thus far. My biggest complaint is you can't fucking hear the guy asking him questions at all. What is this called? Sounds interesting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El-P Posted July 10, 2014 Report Share Posted July 10, 2014 Watched the Shane Douglas Breaking Kayfabe yesterday. Really liked it for the most part, although I'll caveat that I'm someone who could listen to that guy read the phone book and enjoy it. What I thought was really nice were the discussions of personal stories that weren't necessarily wrestling related.This was the first Breaking Kayfabe I'd seen, but I thought it was refreshing to get away from simply telling wrestling stories. Excellent interview, and Douglas came off really well, as he usually does. The non-wrestling stories were indeed really interesting, although I must admit Douglas describing the worst aspects of Memphis wrestling as a bad Supremes video cracked me up. Can't help but think this guy is really a decent human being. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodhelmet Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I have no idea who that is, but "Total" Lee Awesome is a fantastic name. I agree. Who is this mystery man? EDIT: Nevermind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that one was a deliberate attempt to be provocative. Total Lee Awesome is the name you give yourself while you're doing elbow drops to your stuffed wrestling buddy off the couch top rope.

BigBadMick Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Listened to the first 40 minutes on this, right up to Mania 8. Bret gives good thorough answers (as you'd expect) and so far is one of the better guests on this series. Good stuff on his discussions with WCW at the start of the year, the WBF, the steriod and sex scandals, and a thoughtful dissection of the differences in match layout between him and Flair.

Sidebottom Posted August 1, 2014 Report Share Posted August 1, 2014 and a thoughtful dissection of the differences in match layout between him and Flair. Somebody should make a thread comparing the two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoo Enthusiast Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I'm watching now. Pretty entertaining. Sometimes guys just end up with skanky looking women. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyonthewall2983 Posted August 2, 2014 Report Share Posted August 2, 2014 I liked it except Bret believing in his own hype and occasionally steering an unrelated topic back to talking about himself. It would appear that it's true that he and Flair have buried the hatchet considering he put him over a little stronger than in previous interviews though still voicing his old criticisms.

gingears Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Sometimes guys just end up with skanky looking women. What are you refering to ? Bret Hart refers to it in his 1992 Timeline video. There was a former WWF employee that accused Vince McMahon of rape and Bret went off on a tangent about Tiger Woods when discussing it. He seemed to sort of disbelieve how powerful and wealthy celebrity types who could presumably get anyone they want are get caught up in trysts with unattractive women.

flyonthewall2983 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Like he should be one to talk, the guy who refers in his book to times he cheated on his wife as if they were joyful sexual conquests. Bret's opinion about bodybuilders is probably the complete opposite of Vince's opinion on them. And I'm sure neither are true. Bret seemed really sore about the WBF in general which is understandable, and with the benefit of hindsight, it's the very definition of bad timing for Vince to have started up such a promotion.

MikeCampbell Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Bret's Timeline is a total 180 from the Piper Timeline. Piper went off on boring tangents that had nothing to do with the topics. Bret goes off a bit, but keeps it somewhat related to the topic, and are very interesting and/or entertaining. Can anyone confirm if Wrestling With Shadows features a scene with Neidhart commenting that at least no monitors got thrown, after Bret punched Vince?

Jmare007 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Watched the Paul Heyman doc and it's amazing. At worst Top 3 they've ever done. He claims Smackdown outdrew RAW in ratings, merchandising and house shows during his run on the writing team. Ratings and merch I have no trouble believing, but I had no idea they were beating RAW on house shows too. Does anybody know for how long they were beating them?

Petey Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 From about the summer of 2002 until the end of the year, the ratings looked pretty similar. Though I don't know what his tenure was as head writer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Eduardo James Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 It was a little bit fluffy, to be honest. I don't watch too many of the docs, but it's near the bottom out of the ones I have. I think the Punk one was one of the best ones they did. It wasn't bad by any means, but the way it was hyped I expected a bit more...dirt, I guess? The backstage footage was awesome and I was surprised that Raven made an appearance as a talking head considering he sued the WWE not too long ago. It was also amusing to see Tommy Dreamer contradict Heyman's "I was never paid in ECW" unintentionally. He related a story about how Heyman promised him $22,000 from merchandise money, but when it came time to pay Tommy, he gave him $15,000 because he needed the rest to pay some bills. I guess you could interpret it as company bills, but I didn't take it that way. On that note, I will say it's amazing how guys still stick up for Heyman years after ECW closed. Dreamer mentions he was owed $65,000 at that point and RVD mentions the "bond" the locker room shared despite the bounced checks. Maybe I'm cynical, but if you still owe me tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars years after I worked for you, fuck off with that bond BS.
