If in the morning you go out and run into a person you classify as a dick, then you've met a dick. If by the end of the day you've met twenty people who you classify as dicks, then...

 

Quite smart ! :)

 

Yeah, Manny looks like those old-school dipshits. No, everything wasn't better in the "good ol' days".

Mike Graham was something else on the old Roundtable shows from WWE 24/7. Literally everything that happened in wrestling was directly due to him to hear him tell it. It was funny to see all the other oldtimers looking at him like "you fucking believe this guy?".

I forgot about Graham. Boy, there was a guy who was crazy bitter about practically everybody and everything, too. Sadly, I wasn't surprised how he met his end. He seemed so damn angry and unhappy every time I saw him interviewed. Tragic story, that family. His dad commits suicide, his son commits suicide and he ends up committing suicide. Very sad.

Is Manny still peddling his horse manure of a story regarding the Invader 3 angle?

 

 

That angle they did on TV where Fernandez beats up one of the Invaders where there was a ton of Blood out that guys mouth. Was that legit? Or was it fake blood?
