Just watched the Road Warriors episode. I heard Ellering tell the story about driving the van to the funeral on a shoot before but the way it's illustrated here, and the memory of Hawk's funeral did bring a tear to my eye. Joe Laurinitis' recent passing brought a whole new perspective to it obviously, but seeing how some of these guys are now is sad. Especially Droz, jesus.

so word is season 3 will have episodes on:

-Jake Roberts's entire family (or mainly just "Grizzly Smith" apparently?)

-Brian Pillman

-Collision in Korea

-Nick Gage

personally i love that the Jake ep won't just be about Jake, there's so much else that isn't as widely known

"Jake Roberts's entire family" -is more "Grizzly Smith" which is obviously irredeemably depressing story.

I just hope it isn't a lazy cash-in on the True Crime/Youtube obsession with Paedos in the last two or years.

Ahhhhh, thanks for the clarification there!  Yea, same reservations but i'd rather have this than Jake's life story being aired out for the 100th time

Also really glad to see Nick Gage on there just bc i think this would be the first story that breaks out of boomer territory lol

Good lord the Jake's family episode is going to be something.

On top of Jake and Grizzly's obvious stuff, Rockin' Robin was an alcoholic, had a husband go to prison, and then lost everything in Katrina. Sam Houston has had an ungodly amount of DUI's, and also lost everything in Katrina. Now he and Baby Doll's daughter is in the business. 

 

and all I can think of is the exchange between Raven and Axl Rotten in a shoot interview...

Raven: Why don't you think that went anywhere?

Rotten: Enh, Grizzly Smith didn't like me.

Raven: Cause you weren't a 12 year old girl?

Rotten: Ha! Nah, man, he really fucked me.

Raven: So you were a 12 year old girl....

That remains one of my all-time favourite Raven one-liner. I died back then watching that shit. So brillant.

I remember on the Cornette pod where he said that Justin Roberts looked like a pedophile, he said that after telling a story about Grizzly Smith. It really is sickening that his crimes were basically swept under the rug and he way always "one of the boys".

Cornette just said on his podcast today that season 3 is going to have an episode on Bruiser Bedlam.

One I've seen elsewhere for a good S3 episode? XPW and Rob Black, in general. Not many active American promotions in the last 25 years can say they were formed by a scumbag pornographer that served jail time and also "allegedly" hired some goons to castrate a former talent.

This is apparently happening and I am quite excited.

Only in wrestling could there be a series that has an episode about XPW and have it not be the most fucked up one of the season (that would be the Grizzly one).

Posted

That's potentially untrue, since there's a lot of people in the adult industry that actively avoided Extreme Associates for an assortment of reasons.

So Vice has been running old episodes of the show but also adding new deleted scenes that aren't even the YouTube ones which is kind of a bummer since it's been happening for a few weeks now so I've been missing most of them.  But hey, heads up ya'll.

They've only aired one, the Gino episode.
