Peck Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 This was a really good episode tonight. I was doing ok until Paul told the Black Van story for Hawk's funeral. Then seeing Scott Norton cry. And his brothers. Ugh. So emotional. Happy that he found a great wife and changed his ways before his passing. This was probably the best/deepest guest list of any Dark Side episode too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sydneybrown Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Really good episode. I'm a little disappointed we never found out once and for all if Rocco was Ellering's idea. It says a lot that I had no interest in reliving the Owen story again...until that promo for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I've heard the story multiple times but, man, if there was only some footage of Vince in a strip club taking finishers from the boys. It would be on par with rare wrestling media like Magee/Hart, The Last Battle of Atlanta or Gary Hart's book. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Really good one. I had no idea Hawk had so many problems. It definitely makes sense why this is an episode now; I thought it might have just been because of that dumb angle (which I still remember seeing live and did not get over At. All.) and because Hawk was dead but yeah, this one totally fit the bill for the series. Didn't even know about the Wembley incident, that was just sad to see. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, as a 10-year-old at the time I obviously had no idea Hawk was so messed up that evening. I never did go back and re-watch that event as an adult so, like you, I was caught off-guard by that reveal tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 yeah, the main story of somebody at SS92 being unable to perform is Davey Boy.. so Hawk also being similarly messed up was never really focused on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have it on tape somewhere, I didn't see it on YouTube, there is absolutely an LOD-Demolition match at MSG where Hawk gets taken out early and spends the entire match laying on the floor and only gets up for the finish. And this was a YEAR AND A HALF before SummerSlam 92. Edited May 13, 2020 by sydneybrown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 But Davey Boy was both blown up and forgot what to do in the match... though I guess both of those things could have involved drugs as well. Bret didn't bring that up in the book though (maybe to help him save face if so). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Capital Combat 90 IIRC (aka RoboCop's fake leg won't stay on as he's walking). I think one of the Road Warriors (likely Hawk) tosses him into the fucking crowd, and Mick takes a crazy ass bump into one of those old school classroom plastic chairs. That couldn't have felt pleasant. And it's crazy cause out of those six, there is already this special aura around the Cactus Jack character. He just looks and feels different compared to...ya know...Norman the Lunatic and all the other shit in WCW at the time. And that's not to bash Mike Shaw. Hell, by that time, even the Road Warriors didn't feel all that special. They needed a fresh coat of paint (pun intended), which is why that WWF move made sense.

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 He fucking said what about dying in Australia? Fuck him. Also that is the weirdest exchange I could ever imagine about how to tell someone about a death: "Did you talk to Mike?" "Yeah I talked to him yesterday" "Oh, how about today?" "No" "Oh. Because he's dead" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 What If... Animal hired Scott Norton to team with him as Eagle.

ReiseReise Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Big, elderly Scott Norton tearing up got me. I'm really afraid of next weeks episode, but I really want to see it. Positively shocked to learn about all those wrestlers from Minneapolis, since I pretty much liked all of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I was surprised they didn't mention Verne Gagne. I was also surprised that the AWA had a card in Jersey (the Warriors/Hennigs card had to be AWA, right?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
