I don't know how they stayed employed for so long in so many different forms.
They're large, identical twins. It's a unique enough gimmick that they really didn't need much else.

Harris Brothers.
Them and Brian Lee dragged down a good chunk of 1996 ECW, though Lee at least had a really fun match against Gordy.

That's a fucking terrible song, man.

If I remember correctly, that match was supposedly not very good. Wasn't this the height of Dustin's bloated, drugged out phase?
Yeah, it's not nearly as good as you want it to be. Dustin wasn't terrible in it, but he wasn't good, either. And yes, he is definitely a chonk at this point in his career.

I don't follow indy wrestling all that much outside of what is discussed here. I probably should check out Booker T's promotion at some point.
You absolutely should. They're my home promotion, too. I've been to about 100 of their shows, and have never had a bad time. They're cranking out some stars, too--Gino Medina, Kylie Rae, Hyan (she's gonna have a massive 2021)...

For me its first Taker/HBK WM. Of course its also the only live show I have ever been to.
Are there any indie promotions near you? You need to go see some more live shows.

I'd take any Warlord match and put it up against Mongo's best match. I don't even know what could be considered Mongo's best match.
His match against Goldberg on the first Thunder is better than anything Warlord ever did as a singles wrestler.

@EoaeI can assure you that Ross had a lot more control over the book than you think.
EDIT: I will say that I think that Barry Bloom had a lot to do with it, too. Fuck Barry Bloom.

I should add that I don't believe the omission was done with any malicious intent on the part of Ross. But it still pisses me off a little.

What's this? (as if I needed more motivation for my dislike of Ross)
The original co-writer for Ross's first book was Scott Williams, who also did the autobiographies for Terry Funk, Bill Watts, and Jim Duggan. Scott was also my best friend, as well as my editor at the Galveston Daily News. About halfway through the production, after Scott had already written at least a large chunk of the book (and maybe even an entire rough draft), Ross replaced Scott with Paul O'Brien. I don't know how much of the writing was kept and reused by O'Brien, if any, but I do know that they used Scott's research because he knew more about parts of Jim Ross's career than even Ross knew. And up until his death in 2016, he was still helping out Ross whenever he could.
When Ross showed off the cover to his book in 2017, Scott's name was left off the cover. They were going to give him a dedication page instead. This didn't sit right with a lot of people, including Bix (who was also friends with Scott) and Brian Last (who knew Scott through an appearance on Cornette's podcast). They argued with Ross on Twitter until he added Scott's name to the cover.
There's a little more to it than that, but that's the Reader's Digest version.

and, eh, The Warlord wasn't any worse than some of the other schlubs who ever held down the revolving door at the 4 slot.
He really was, though. Sid, Roma, and even Mongo were better than Warlord.

Oh, I also really hate Jim Ross. Terrible person.
Dude had to be publicly shamed into putting his deceased co-writer's name on his autobiography. Fuck him.

This despite creating a great character in Leviathan
Leviathan was literally a demon from hell summoned up through the Ohio River in a Satanic ritual by Cornette's dominatrix girlfriend and her bootleg Ministry Of Darkness stable.

Rickey Shane Page (who is 36 years old) said Damien Kane from ECW.
The best thing about Damien Kane was his wife, Lady Alexandra.

Cornette doesn't need to work in the industry because he doesn't need the money, but Cornette doesn't work in the industry because he is toxic as hell and no one wants him around.

Does he own any t-shirts that aren't kind of fascisty?

What is some things that happened in the past in pro wrestling that you totally forgot about?
David Otunga and Curtis Axel were tag champs for three months.

I'm kind of surprised they never paired Koko with Rooster.
I don't think a team of Koko and the most racist man in wrestling would have ended up lasting too long. I think Koko would have straight up murdered him.

Was thinking about this for some reason: What is the worst show you have ever had the misfortune of attending?
I saw Jinder Mahal three times during his indy run between WWE stints, so I'd say it's a three-way tie between all of those shows.

Wowww....AAA and Marvel Comics have come to an agreement, according to WO. So we will soon be seeing masked Marvel characters as luchadors. And not the old bootleg kind lol
More details, from the official announcement:
"During autumn of this year, the first 4 wrestlers of this group will be announced, who will be called to revolutionize the AAA lineup. On the one hand, we will have the technical wrestlers: Aracno and Leyenda Americana and, on the other hand, we will have the tough wrestlers: Terror Púrpura and Venenoide."
My español is a little rusty, but it looks like it's going to be luchador versions of Spider-Man; Captain America; Venom; and a large, erect penis.

It could just be a last-second storyline change. Deonna has been taunting Kylie on Twitter for running away from AEW, so they may have decided to run with it.
Smackdown, Banks vs. Bayley. 6th November 2020.

Is Vince going to do that thing he does when he weaponizes someone's personal life to humiliate them by having Cole ask Lars about gay porn next week?
