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.

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.

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

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.

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.
