The Great ML

I love Tony, but time has allowed us to forget that he'd have some whoppers on commentary every so often. Just yesterday I heard him call (at BattleBowl 91) that (winning this) "this would put a real bone in his cap." Jim Ross was perplexed. He's human...but that call you mentioned is so counterproductive to promoting your (somewhat growing) product and fanbase.

Don’t forget about the lucha legends...Masked Cabana and the Fortified Hooligan need to be inducted in the Legacy Class.

@Pete why don't we just make a shirt with the poster of Kiniski talking about sending that "colored boy Ladd back to the cotton field..." Gracious...who could wear that!?

That Larry Hennig vs. Adrian Adonis sounds like fire...

I’m curious why on that AJ Summit card it was Jumbo and Haku as a team? Im willing to bet it was pushed in the buildup as former AWA World Champions (Jumbo, Hennig, Martel)...but what’s the Haku connection?

Dude is the epitome of babyface fire.

There are family reunions going on that weekend where the majority are making the trek from out of state to see family and go see the Von Erichs ‘rassle. Please don’t kill the town MLW.

Nitpick...That was the 89 NWA Summer booking committee. Verne called him ‘Big’ Scott Hall.

Ok, the King of Trios Super Bowl...I want to see that trio of Harley, Brisco and Dory against that other European supergroup from the 70s: Andre, Karl Gotch and Billy Robinson.

Harley Race: "I've had to stop 2 or 3 different things. Probably one of the funnier ones was in Mexico. There was the Star Wars movie and they had that C3PO, and a guy in Mexico wrestling like him. We were supposed to go an hour at 10,000 foot altitude. He tried a couple of things and I told the referee to get his act together and get on with this. And he did, and the guy said that he would pretty well do what he wanted to do. So they ended up carrying out the yellow robot on a gurney." In the dressing room the rest of the Mexicans weren’t happy at all with Race’s antics, but Race threw a beer bottle at a mirror and broke another bottle to lay next to him in order to keep the other wrestlers from jumping him. I’m sure they thought this was one crazy gringo.

I’m a mark for the time period.

One Upon A Time In Hollywood is amazing. Go watch it.

Nope he didn’t. Hulk was right... but because he had such a horrible backstage reputation anything he said regarding the push of a younger worker would have been looked at sideways. I distinctly remember a Smackdown where Kidman did “comedy” backstage trying to cheer Torrie up. It was pretty much one of the cringiest things that year, second only to Katie Vick... they were married and still had zero chemistry.

Never drank and never will.

That PWUSA show headlined by the Ugandan death match... Watch the end to the first match, Larry Sharpe vs. Bobby Duncum. Sharpe takes a bump over the buckle and lands feet first on the ringside table...a local guy from Jersey audibly cusses a blue streak about his table and equipment getting messed up. The ring announcer is horrible on PBP. He can’t tell the difference between tags, nabes, and high fives. “AND THERES A TAG! Oh no, maybe not...”

If they had to power to pull a bonafide resurrection, it’d better be Eddie.

Why are they so intent on having Madusa in a lengthy verbal capacity when that was always her handicap? I remember her on a Rumble preshow that was horrid.

Still better than the blue Spartacus helmet.

100% agreed...could have probably phrased it better, but it was more spotlighting who his "legendary" cohorts were in the shot. Why not someone such as a Sgt. Slaughter there?

Rey's giving a speech to Zayn backstage talking about respecting those who paved the way...standing there is Jimmy Hart (holding one solitary potato chip for five minutes) along with Alicia Foxx and Jillian Hall. Eat a dick.

And they didn’t know to put the friggin strap on him. Even Dubya gets it.

Notting Hill. I can’t explain it. <Hangs head in shame>

My wife knows little about wrestling and the first thing she noticed on television was the empty arena. Her response, "Why didn't they book the (Kay Bailey) Dallas Convention Center? It's just a few minutes down the road?" The DCC seats 9-10,000 and would have been much cheaper, I'd imagine.

This arena looks empty and yet has more people than I expected...

I'd like to thank the Declaration of Independence for covering the baby arm.
