odessasteps Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Interesting they got Hayes for the Mid South episode but not the Dallas one. ross, Hayes, DiBiase and Jake is a stacked panel, even without Watts, Cornette or Duggan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 (edited) And then JR joining him! I don't think I knew ANY of the stories from this episode. Just ridiculous stuff. The Ali one was goosebump-raising. Oh, and the best thing about the DiBiase getting turned angle is they used the incredible Flair vs. blood-leaking Ted angle to turn him BACK AGAIN, and it was absolutely perfect. Such a level of booking right there. Edited December 7, 2022 by Curt McGirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirSmUgly Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I think Foley tells the Ali story in his first book. "He doesn't have to work here the next day, I do." Maybe I'm misremembering. Or is that a different Jake/Ali story? I would not be shocked if there were two of them. Or maybe Foley got mixed up because he tells it differently than Jake tells it here.

This is probably the best one yet. Don't recall ever hearing Duggan story or or the one about Cowboy-Brown so that was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 I don’t know if the old neighbor of mine when I was a kid kept smoking during the time that he has emphysema and an oxygen tank, but Jake is probably in the camp that it’s better to smoke cigarettes than crack. Also there’s Jim Ross with a form of skin cancer taking a smoke because that just happens sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Watching the MidSouth episode with clips of Jake Roberts/Muhammad Ali... Jake's selling really wasn't as bad as people acted like the time. Maybe Nord selling it like death made Jake staggering stand out. But he had a hand on the rope for one punch and the rest of the punches really weren't bad unless your standard is that he has to take a back pump over and over for Ali 5 years after his last title fight. It makes for a hell of a story though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted December 15, 2022 Share Posted December 15, 2022 The Nine Lives of Vince McMahon is an extremely lazy feature on Vince. Probably 85% of it is rehash from Dark Side of the Ring even using the same footage. and then you have Russo all over it. Apparently everyone had a clue because it got one of its worst ratings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 going back to the Nikita Koloff/Rocky IV claims, the character name for Drago's Soviet promoter? Nicoli Koloff.

Apparently, they didn’t get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Pwinsider: Quote Dark Side of the Ring, as we have noted, have been filming for the fourth season for Vice TV. Thus far, we have heard the following as subjects for a new season: -Abdullah the Butcher -Mike Awesome -Bam Bam Bigelow Mick Foley, Jim Cornette, Terry Funk and Hacksaw Duggan are among those who have been interviewed for the season. There is no word when it may air. With Duggan being interviewed, we've been asked if they are doing an episode on the Duggan-Iron Sheik arrest in the late 1980s that shattered kayfabe, and it fits with the tone of the show, but we haven't heard that to be the case. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyChamp Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I saw something about an Abdullah the Butcher doc I think? But I can’t find it again. Man if there’s anybody whose seen it all, done it all, and covered it all up it’s him. He’s the biggest untold story left IMO. Forgetting my opinion on him as a mean old man now for a minute, he had an amazing life. We can’t imagine his early life let alone his life working as a self made special attraction minority wrestler in the territory days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends if they use it for any tragic story, not just the salacious ones they focus on usually. Seems they have done a couple episodes that aren't deaths or drugs etc Edited April 11, 2023 by odessasteps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
