I feel compelled to watch it though. Imagine how good Candido in WCW in 95-96 would have been instead of wasting his time in the WWF, and knowing his g/f was fucking Shawn Michaels. Although, once Hall & Nash got there, they probably would have squashed Candido dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't really care if the danger is inherent or not, I will always strongly encourage people to stay the fuck away from them forever. So, @OSJ, please continue to do so. We need our grizzled veteran posters. I used to be friends with my best friend's brother and the one thing he did was ride motorcycles, the crotch rocket kind. He's show my best friend and me videos of him and his buddies doing the stupid thing of getting your motorcycle up to a really high speed and then slowing down dramatically. And then one day he lost control of his motorcycle and slammed into a tree with no helmet. He was in a coma for two months. Went through extensive therapy after coming out of the coma. He's...kinda normal now. I say kinda because before the crash he was an atheist and very nice to everyone. Now he's a total religious freak and legitimately racist, among other things. He's just a totally different person now. He also claims Jesus visited him in his head when he was in his coma. We aren't friends anymore and now I just get updates about him from my best friend. OH, the other weird thing is that along with his other changes, he got really into Christmas lights. He has one of those houses with a million Christmas lights that are timed to music with a radio station he set up that you can tune into outside his house. So at least he ditched motorcycles for that hobby. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to wear it. Seems...like a very Indiana law. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jersey requires the helmets, and considering having one saved my Dad's life when he wiped out, if you insist on riding a bike without a helmet, well, there is something called Darwinism... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted, it has been years since I lived there, but it used to be you could catch a bus to anywhere without waiting more than fifteen minutes, half hour tops if we're talking night time. Has Metro Transit gone that far downhill since I left? I remember having to take two (or three depending on the time of morning) buses for my commute from north Seattle to Bellevue and it was never inconvenient, also gave me plenty of time to read. Could usually do a book a day with the commute. Metro also used to have a ride-free zone for most of downtown Seattle to Pioneer Square which was massively cool. Like I said, it's been years, but Metro used to be just like clockwork, compared to the ridiculousness I've encountered in other cities where the schedule is at best a loose approximation of arrivals and departures. I can't imagine much better service than what I was used to in Seattle. I fondly recall just zipping past the lines of commuters in the special transit/carpool lane on 520. The only times that commuting was ever a problem was in the case of snow, which Seattleites react to as though an atomic bomb has been dropped. An inch is enough to cause massive pile-ups, three inches is enough to have people abandoning their vehicles and wandering around like extras on The Walking Dead. I've become quite fond of living in a place that actually has seasons as opposed to ten months of overcast gray skies, a month of summer and six weeks or so of wintry weather with the week or so of actual snow.

Bustronaut Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) Seattle, like a lot of places, is facing a shortage of Bus operators. I know a number of people who live there and there's countless stories of routes just randomly stopping and making everyone get off the bus so they can go cover a "better" route.

John from Cincinnati Posted July 5, 2019 Share Posted July 5, 2019 (edited) If it came to arguing it in court, I have a feeling a municipality as large as Seattle could spring for better representation than people riding transit in areas that might be deemed worthy of such shoddy service. But according to my Cracker Jack box law degree (which, like Vince McMahon's brass ring, is completely imaginary), that sounds a lot like breach of contract or something similar.

The matching gear also intrigues me I don't remember that they feuded, especially considering how short a time Candido was there. I haven't gone back and rewatched lately, but I recall Candido being more invested in the Cruiserweight scene, and the Funk match was a one-off. He cut a promo about Funk being an old dog and that he was going to put him down. The tights were something that he rocked on more than one occasion, but I don't recall if there was ever an explanation for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to also recall Candido wearing the Terry Funk tights once in a while in ECW. Of course, I could be wrong since that was 20+ years ago and a lot of brain altering chemicals since then.
