flyonthewall2983 Posted September 23, 2020 Author Report Posted September 23, 2020 An episode on Eddie Graham would be good.
flyonthewall2983 Posted September 29, 2020 Author Report Posted September 29, 2020 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.
funkdoc Posted October 13, 2020 Report Posted October 13, 2020 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
SirEdger Posted October 13, 2020 Report Posted October 13, 2020 Particularly curious about the Collision in Korea episode. I know so little about it, wonder what they'll dig up.
NintendoLogic Posted October 13, 2020 Report Posted October 13, 2020 That Jake episode is going to make for some depressing viewing if they make Grizzly Smith out to be as much of a monster as he evidently was.

rovert Posted October 14, 2020 Report Posted October 14, 2020 "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.
funkdoc Posted October 14, 2020 Report Posted October 14, 2020 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
Laz Posted October 14, 2020 Report Posted October 14, 2020 Nick Gage going from shit deathmatch worker to convicted felon to great brawler/human being is as close to wholesome as pro wrestling gets.
Blehschmidt Posted October 14, 2020 Report Posted October 14, 2020 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....

flyonthewall2983 Posted October 16, 2020 Author Report Posted October 16, 2020 Raven's got a lot of mileage out of that one.
C.S. Posted October 16, 2020 Report Posted October 16, 2020 Completely disgraceful that Grizzly Smith still held a backstage position with WCW into the mid-'90s and even appeared on-camera at times.
Infinit Posted October 16, 2020 Report Posted October 16, 2020 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".
JRH Posted October 19, 2020 Report Posted October 19, 2020 Surprised we havent gotten one on the British Bulldogs (or at least Dynamite Kid) yet. Ditto XPW/Rob Black

SirEdger Posted January 31, 2021 Report Posted January 31, 2021 I knew I was blanking on a specific episode when I tried to remember what would be on Season 3 and now Cornette reminded me.
Alucard Posted February 1, 2021 Report Posted February 1, 2021 PWInsider mentioned there will also be a Chris Kanyon episode
Migs Posted March 6, 2021 Report Posted March 6, 2021 On 5/4/2020 at 2:09 PM, Laz said: 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.
sek69 Posted March 6, 2021 Report Posted March 6, 2021 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).
Laz Posted March 7, 2021 Report Posted March 7, 2021 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.
CarpetCrawler Posted March 11, 2021 Report Posted March 11, 2021 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.
