Kuetsar Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 " Scott Steiner is beginning to look like the Toxic Avenger without the green skin. " And that was in 1992. . . . 1
cool arrow Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Eh, Mitchell believes that Bill Apter shouldn't be in the Observer HOF because he's "not a journalist." So yeah, he's pretty much a tool.
Zakk_Sabbath Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Great read, but that's total bullshit about Apter. Maybe he's jealous no one refers to anything as "a Mitchell Sheet" 1
Kuetsar Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Apter's mags did more for wrestling than any but a handful of people, he belongs. As for Mitchell, didn't he bad mouth ECW to Angle or some shit?
odessasteps Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 That Steiners match was when i started to sour on them, being sloppy/careless with opponents. I was glad when Watts brought in Doc and Gordy, to give them saome of their own medicene. 1
The Nature Boy Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Coincidentally, unemployed moron Sid Eudy suffered the same injury at one point. Did The Master and Ruler of the Universe ever give Mitchell a proper powerbomb for this one?

Flair's story on the Steiners fued with Murdoch and Slater was pretty funny as they just wouldn't bump for them
Tromatagon Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I hated that feud. Mostly because Scotty got injured and then we had to see BILL KAZMAIER fill in for him. I think. Hopefully I didn't imagine that and live in some sort of nightmare world
Michael Sweetser Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 I like to pretend Rick Steiner just worked those matches as handicap matches, because let's face it, with Kazmaier there, he pretty much was working for four just to break even.
BurningBeard Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 The only thing I remember about Kazmier's run was the Enforcers breaking his ribs with a barbell plate
mattdangerously Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 If it makes you feel better, that was the highlight. 1
PuroresuFan Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I couldn't find it on YouTube but I remember a few years back that Rick Steiner tried to shoot on Vordell Walker and got the worst of it.
cool arrow Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I couldn't find it on YouTube but I remember a few years back that Rick Steiner tried to shoot on Vordell Walker and got the worst of it. Judging from this account, it seems like they got into it more than once. This past thursday I think it was the 9th of June I went to my first CWA(Christian wrestling Alliance) show in SC , one of my friends was on the show as a wrestler and he took me in the lockeroom to meet some of the wrestlers and I saw Goldust, the Mack Brothers and I saw Rick Steiner sitting in the corner and I saw Vordell Walker walk over to Steiner and my friend told me they had an in ring fight like 3 years ago where Steiner took cheap shots at Walker. Vordell Walker walked near to Steiner and you could hear Steiner call Vordell "a piece of sh*t" and withen 5 seconds Vordell Walker punched Rick Steiner in the face twice and then Walker threw Steiner up against the wall and then all of a sudden Rick Steiner is on the floor choking and bleeding from his nose and mouth about to pass out while Vordell Walker had him in a Guillotene choke hold. Goldust, the Macks and others all tried to pull Vordell off the gagging Steiner and after Vordell let go he went outside and Steiner followed and started running his mouth somemore and screamed he was going to shoot Vordell if he ever saw him again and then the police showed up and im not sure what happened other then after his match Vordell Walker was escorted to his car by the police and that was all I saw.
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 That CWA story is written in an wonderful awestruck way, like a 7 year old using the Spontaneous Prose method. It's only three sentences and I dig it. - RAF 1
Playa Shunna Ver 3.0 Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 From the latest historical Observer 9-7-98 "Flair had been at legal odds with WCW since early April, when he missed a Thunder taping in Tallahassee, FL where the plan at the time was to have him announce the new Four Horsemen, which was going to be himself, Lex Luger, Bill Goldberg and Kevin Greene managed by Arn Anderson." I never heard anything about that Horsemen line up. That would have been an entirely different direction for the Goldberg character.
J.H. Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 No one did morefor Kayfabe than Apter and his crew. Hell he deserves i nthere as a photojournalist at the least! Never saw Mitchell credited in WWE material as "Photo courtesy of..." James
cwoy2j Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 No one did morefor Kayfabe than Apter and his crew. Hell he deserves i nthere as a photojournalist at the least! Never saw Mitchell credited in WWE material as "Photo courtesy of..." James One of my favorite stories from Jericho's books is him talking about how Larry Z tried to sue him over the use of the term "Living Legend". Larry's legal team apparently tried using quotes from a kayfabe interview from an Apter mag as some kind of evidence of copyright infringement and Jericho was like, "hmmm, you do know they just make up those interviews right?"
Tromatagon Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I hope Dr. Sydney M Basil gets in before Mitchell 1
thee Reverend Axl Future Posted October 21, 2015 Posted October 21, 2015 I hope Dr. Sydney M Basil gets in before Mitchell As well as Drs. Sydney Ziff & Papufnik AND Lanny Toe Basqueemps Albano (inventor of Rock & Roll)... I miss The Guiding Light (the Man not the show), RAF
CrazyMax46 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 We haven't had a "Who was a work and who wasn't" PWI conversation in a while...
sydneybrown Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Hopefully because we all know.... Even in Apter's book, he kinda comes off as if "Jesus Christ you guys, how many times do I have to tell you that Shocket and Ellner were/are real?" Though I didn't know until reading his book that Dan Shocket also wrote for porno mags.
CrazyMax46 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I have a fairly strong idea of who was real and who was not mostly because I met them or was told so. But there are a few I just don't care enough to remember if they were or not.
Technico Support Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Apter was Liz Hunter and would dress in drag to really get into it 1
