Even in the time of Pillman and Liger, Ross was still calling Eaton a "high flyer" because of the Alabama Jam. I was so, so confused. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odessasteps Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 IIRC, the Alabama Jam won the Observer Award for Favorite Move or whatever it was actually called. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watched a Jim Brunzell/Damien Demento match the other day and 1) didn’t know Jim Brunzell stayed around the WWF for that long 2) hey there’s scared children looking at Damien Demento shortly before they decided to not push Damien Demento 3) just imagine Damien Demento as Yoshi Kwan in 1993 WCW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel obliged to mention that the aforementioned “The Riddle Song” is quite lovely when not played for Animal House laughs; here is a Sam Cooke live version that is a mournful lullaby (this is also shortly after he lost his young son, which makes it hit heavier): Edited September 20, 2023 by Hamhock 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, he says his real name in the final episode but I forget what it was. If you haven't watched it yet be prepared to cringe A LOT whenever he pops up on screen. Dude has tattoos for Ron Paul, Che Guevara, 5 Finger Death Punch and other equally shitty ones. He also has some very 1950s views about women wrestling.

HarryArchieGus Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 Quote Also, Hollyhood Hailey J is apparently a garbage person IRL, and it looks like the show is using her as a top babyface character. Quote She's a white girl from a wealthy background and is doing a Cultural Appropriation, and is pretty racist when called on it. Also she was drinking heavily before her matches, her opponent (Dani Mo) complained to the trainers about it, the trainers called a meeting and said "Nobody is allowed to drink before their match", and as soon as the trainers left Hailey suckerpunched Dani Mo and broke her nose. Searching out the board for discussion on 'The Wrestlers' I found this comment from @AxB. I'm curious if you've had a chance to see the show? Concerning Haley J: 'Wealthy background'? No, but a mother in and out of jail throughout her childhood, an abondoned father, raped at 15 and now a single mother wrestling and working at the Holiday Inn. Context counts. It's easy to judge, but one wonders how anybody excels in life with that start. Also, 'Cultural Appropriation' tag feels like a bit of stretch in 2023, but perhaps her being 'pretty racist when called on it' better explains that charge. Top Babyface of the show? No. Well rounded look at an immature person with a lot of life challenges, yes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
