Curt McGirt Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 That might be a hair under Florida, or a hair over, as far as quality goes. It had a way more positive feeling despite the low-blow with Mia getting deported. Downtown Bruno looks totally different and seemed like a really, really nice guy, and I had no idea about the OG Prince Iaukea who seems like a swell dude too. My only disappointment was no Mark Lewin stories! If only Gary Hart were alive and on that panel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammerva Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Watching the Simpsons Unearthed Episodes and saw there will be a 9 part series in December on Vince McMahon. Or maybe it isn't nine part but features 9 important parts of Vince's career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zendragon Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I like to think of Vince watching FoxNews and getting up during the break to go to the kitchen and doing the strut 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Add Princess Victoria to the list of pro wrestlers who look/sound like they could have lived in my neighborhood growing up (she didn't, literally, of course). Victoria brings the energy of someone who smokes on their front porch and yells at kids if they're being idiots around her property.

Curt McGirt Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Mike Masters died? That's a kick in the nuts to end a fairly light-hearted episode. He looked healthy and fairly youthful for whatever age he was. It was also cool to see that Chris Masters' gimmick had its own origin story. Just think, if you have the Portland set, you are merely a couple degrees removed from the Playboy himself. Bless the man. Luke Williams has morphed into a cartoon character based on his nose alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Commander Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Unless there was something I missed, they didn't directly mention that the Buddy Rose marriage to Matt Borne's sister involved alleged domestic violence, but that could explain another reason why Matt Borne would be really unhappy with the situation. CageMatch only has 2 Rose/Borne matches after 1984 (both in 1988), so their paths didn't exactly cross much later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bless the man. I need to see if any of those GoodHelmet Portland sets are out there. Granted there is a ton of Portland on Youtube but if it is anything like the Texas set than I should have gotten it. The Grappler/Nord the Barbarian/Brian Adams was incredible. I can only imagine how much it hurts to get hit with a full jug of milk. Is there any story on why the announcer on the final TV tapings had one of the most obvious toupees possible. He couldn't have thought that was good. Next week is Texas and given that David Manning is on I figure the BS meter will be high on this.

Cobra Commander Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Another part of the Portland story that wasn’t mentioned which maybe the panel didn’t know a lot about is that Portland Wrestling’s main sponsor, Tom Peterson (“Free is a very good price”), filed for bankruptcy a year before the promotion went under. Peterson was sorta the Mattress Mack of Portland. Only he didn’t make a comeback to perpetually bet money on the Trail Blazers winning the NBA title.

I'm glad they didn't bring up Art Barr because this could have been a lot sleazier. Sucks enough to hear Buddy beat his wife up above.

Cobra Commander Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 There’s probably some Indy promoters who’d hear about shows being run in a bowling alley that would envy Portland having such a nice building. The abandoned K-Mart near my house would be my first choice of a site for a hastily converted arena. Good parking. But it would essentially be like wheeling bleachers into a flea market building.

odessasteps Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Yeah, they must be saving the Art Barr story for Dark Side if they do another season. it does seem like they are keeping a lot of the really bad stuff off this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 The Berzerker telling the Masked Grappler, "Have you ever been hit with a gallon of milk? Try it sometime" is a sentence that I never thought that I would type. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought one from him a couple years ago, so if you PM here or at PWO, you might be in luck. He was really good about getting it out even with the ravages of COVID.

odessasteps Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I wonder if they tried to get Ed Wiskowski on the show. He may someone with health issues. Related to that, Dutch said he thought Dundee might not have been well enough to do the Memphis episode. I know we were wondering about him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
