It was great for all us poor Texan punks trying to get drunk at the shows. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's awesome - We didn't get it up here until maybe ten years ago or so, so when we were kids going to shows it was all Dubra, Majorska, Graves XXX (bet you didn't know there was something EVEN CHEAPER than Everclear!) It's a miracle some of us made it, really - I still can't drink Red Powerade. I've never been to Austin, but I saw an episode of Bar Rescue with a place called The Brixton on it, and it seemed like a pretty cool vibe down there (the owner was a prick, his wife was too good looking for him but seemed like a very sweet lady). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, that whole episode was a setup by The Brixton owners to get a new sound system for the bar. They faked all the issues they were having in their personal life, kept the new name and look of the bar for whatever obligatory period was required (couldn’t have been more than a week and more like a weekend) and then changed the name back and got rid of all the drink changes. It was a decent dive, I used to hang there some, watched a couple 2010 World Cup games there at 5 am. It closed right around the start of the pandemic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I'm surprised Waltman's not gotten a final run in earnest with his personal and health issues seeming to be behind him; perhaps that's how he keeps it that way, who knows. It was a real treat to see him on that GCW PPV from NY 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zimbra Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 IIRC Waltman's neck is in really bad shape so I don't think we'll see him in the ring again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreamBroken Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Waltman tore his bicep when he worked GCW with Janela back in Feb/March. He said at the time he was going to have surgery and then wanted to do a few more matches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Dave Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I could see him entering the Rumble as either 1-2-3 Kid or X-Pac. The nostalgia pop is one of my favorite things about the Rumble... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nostalgia pop is one of my favorite things about the Rumble... What prompted me to post what I did was I remembered him saying at some point in the last few years that he contacted them to let them know he was cleared if they wanted him for the Rumble, but hadn't heard back (kinda messed up, if you ask me). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
