They are sincere. The whole family are diehard Christians, their dad and little bro was known to get nutty about it on Facebook at times before the Bucks made it big. 

I'm glad it's not mockery.

Although, I have to assume some Christians might object to the "AF" part of it.

But if the Bucks are sincere, good for them. It's a nice shirt. Certainly miles ahead of the badly designed crap WWE puts out.

I could actually see people wearing this to a concert or something (but probably not to church, lol).

Wait, are there DVDVR archives available from that era? I thought everything from that time was lost forever. Or did someone take a screenshot like 15 years ago and played the longest of long games. 

 

That was probably the most screenshotted thread in the history of message boards (at least wrestling related ones) so I'm not shocked someone still has them and put 2 and 2 together.

Some old posts are visible via the internet  archives. It's hit or miss though.  https://web.archive.org/web/20050930204452/http://board.deathvalleydriver.com/

Geez, I think all I did back then was post about comics.

Sammy seems like an alright dude who said something (extremely) stupid and regrets it, and is willing to take his lumps for it. I do think it opened a window on a culture that would seemingly allow such "jokes" without any concern of how it would sound to someone outside the bubble, and that seems to be something all this is shining a light on.

Agreed. I was just thinking about the Sammy situation. He was 21 when he cracked that rape joke. At the time nobody stood up and said thats not ok. Everybody on the recording laughed along awkwardly as you do when you hear an innappropriate joke. Nobody in charge of the podcast thought to edit out his comments at the time. I think its more an indictment of wrestling's culture that nobody batted an eye at the joke rather than an indictment of Sammy's character for saying it. Truly, I shudder to think what was the most offensive joke I made at that age. I'm just glad my generation didn't record all of our mistakes and put them up on the internet.

So, Tony Khan was a guest on Eric Bischoff's podcast and was all about how he was a fan of WCW and learned so much from it.

Two funny quotes from Uncle Eric :

When Khan talked about how he studied Nitro from 96 to 98 : Eric "Stay away from WCW 1999 at all cost !"

When Khan said he actually asked a question during an old Prodigy chat, Bischoff popped. Then Khan said "You did not draw enough to keep Prodigy alive though." to which Eric replied "I didn't draw enough to keep WCW alive !" 

Honestly, I wouldn't mind to have Eric as a guest on Dynamite at some point. He's always a great performer no matter what and it would be cool to see him appear on what really is the followup to Nitro in many ways.

Except he doesn't understand that Cage does need Taz, at the very least for now. Cage is not a good promo nor a great personality (in the ring at least). He does need someone who cuts strong promos on his side (like Taz in AEW) or on the other side to trigger him and the emotional reactions of the fans (like Sami Callihan did in IMPACT where he really made Cage look better than he ever had in term of a character, also thanks to Melissa Santos).
