I reading different accounts on it. Injured. He still hasn't gotten cleared from his concussion The suspended stuff was the usual shaddy sites making shit up. it has been debunked by multiple people but as per usual that doesnt mean it isnt running wild.

I'm probably reading it wrong but I always assumed that anything happening in current month that impacted wrestling would go here? Otherwise there would be no need for this thread as we could just post in said appropriate folder. 1
(BP) Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 This is an odd story. Brett Dibiase was arrested in connection with an embezzlement scheme involving the former director of Human Services for Mississippi. The director was apparently diverting funds from a welfare program to give Dibiase a no-show job while he was actually in rehab out of state. https://mississippitoday.org/2020/02/05/former-welfare-agency-head-others-arrested-for-embezzling-millions-intended-for-poor-mississippians/

The omnibus thread is for miscellaneous wrestling talk - things that don't have a clear place in a specific thread. There's no reason to be having the same conversation in several different threads, or have the same gifs posted across multiple threads. 1

Spontaneous Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Gentlemen, this is the war room, there's no fighting allowed in here! I know of No Holds Barred and Body Slam, are there any other wrestling-centric movies worth checking out? 1
Dewar Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Ready to Rumble The Wrestler If you can track it down, there was a Canadian movie titled "Beat Down" which has Allie and Rosemary in it.

I know of No Holds Barred and Body Slam, are there any other wrestling-centric movies worth checking out? The Peter Falk wrestling movie All The Marbles is pretty darn underrated silly wrestling movie. It also has a pretty great almost unedited woman’s tag team match near the end that’s just as good as the AJW tag matches from that period. You can rent it off Amazon Prime Video.

elizium Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) Second All the Marbles, watched it a couple months ago and it is lots of fun. And, yes, the final match is great. For my own pick, Night and the City is one of the better noir films made. A hustler attempts to get into the wrestling business and the usual doublecrosses and murders ensue. Features Stanislaus Zbyszko and Mike Mazurki, who co-founded the Cauliflower Alley Club. Edited February 6, 2020 by elizium 4
DragonZombie Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 My Dad is a Heel Wrestler! Starring Tana.
Curt McGirt Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wrestler_(1974_film) There's another Wrestler, starring Ed Asner; I found a DVD of it for $5 one time. Don't recall if it's any good. Lookit that lineup though!
John Austin Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 It's ok I guess. There's a cheesy scene in a bar with Dirty Dusty Rhodes 1
odessasteps Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 There is also Grunt (starring Adrian Street) which has been discussed lately in one of the film threads.

Fucking scumbags. I work in social service, and I watch a lot of money flowing freely to places I think it shouldn't be, but goddamn. That is some double shady shit.
Tromatagon Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 (edited) It still isn't the crazy SWAT standoff that his brother had (Mike not Ted), but goddamn Edited February 6, 2020 by Tromatagon
Craig H Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 If you want actual wrestling, then there's Vision Quest.

Curt McGirt Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 For that matter all of the lucha films starring El Santo, Blue Demon, Mil Mascaras, etc.
