With only one episode left, yeah, it looks that way.

Shit, now you have me looking through the history of the Top Prospect Tournament to see what other randos were in it in various years. QT Marshall. What ever happened to that guy? He was garbage and I couldn't believe he was pushed as a member of the House of Truth for a while. Chubby, balding, old-looking for his age and not in that cool, Arn Anderson way. He did have a sweet robe but you combined that with the rest of his look and you got every mid-90s east coast indy weekend warrior ever. I always enjoyed Tadarious Thomas but I believe he retied from wrestling. Why do I keep thinking J. Diesel and Will Ferrara are the same person? LOL Brian Fury. When you take your wrestling name from a Tekken character, it's time to rethink things. Also, "Fury" is up there with "Storm" in the category "wrestling surnames that need to be retired yesterday."

Per Kevin Kelly: That's some "The Ring" type shit right there.

It's really hard to remember for me since it was like 1990. It was early in Axl's career and he was still working the English gimmick. I think it was just a thing where he'd call the guy's show and they'd yell at each other. Maybe it was supposed to culminate in the host being in someone's corner opposing Axl at a show. There was a Saturday night wrestling talk show on the station as well, so that tied into it. I tried to Google it but this shit is all pre-Internet so there's no info.

I once worked at a conservative radio station where one of the windbag hosts (he's dead now) bragged about some expose he did "outing" Sgt. Slaughter for not being a real Marine. Two things wrong with this: first and foremost, who gives a shit? Next you'll tell me that the Undertaker is not an undead mortician. Second, I think Slaughter might have actually been in the corps in some capacity. (His distinguished service with the elite fighting force known as G.I. Joe notwithstanding) The same host worked a "feud" with Axl Rotten 6-7 years before that so he really had no leg to stand on, anyway.

Rick Rude is posthumously happy that shirt doesn't show his legs

Fuck, imagine that match being the last thing you see on this Earth. Life is horrible sometimes.

Welcome! It's awesome and you definitely learn to get by on as little sleep as possible.

I told a coworker that I had put him over to the office. But he's a wrestling fan, though.

I legit LOL'd at this. Thanks so much. You haven't lived until you've given a semen sample. It's just a weird feeling knowing that everybody in the place knows you're there to rub one out. A nice girl leads you into the room, hands you a specimen cup and you sign a form and you're like, "man, this girl right here absolutely know's I'm about the jerk off in this room." It just really does your head in. Then you really take your time because you absolutely don't want people to think you're a two pump chump.

wtf

You're thinking of his brother Jerry Koff. His friends call him Jer.

NXT employee: Here's your belt, Asuka. You may want to boil it first, because reasons Asuka: I'm from Japan. We sell soiled underwear in vending machines. It's fine.

LOL this is some Sean Spicer shit right here

Yeah guys, chill with the monolpoy talk. Nobody in the government gives two shits about pro wrestling. If nobody cared in the 80s when Vince took over the business and nobody cared when he did it again in the early 2000s, nobody will care now either.

As someone who grew up on WWF, the first time I saw Hart was in his late 80s NWA run. Watching him stand up to Flair during a Flair/Funk match was just bizarre.

A manager who didn't stooge or bump would not have been a good fit for 80s/early 90s WWE.

Jesus only got a 50/50 reaction in most towns. The piped in cheers were really obvious since they were coming from the clouds.

Hey, just letting you guys know the subject has its own thread

Buy ROH and hand it over to Matt Hardy.

Seriously. ROH is circling the drain and reports that Delerious is in with Joe Koff and thus the booking situation will never change as long as Koff is around don't help matters. Also, fuck Sinclair. I won't even get into the political part of it but I will say that everyone I ever knew who worked for them told me it is a cheap, awful company.

No matter how may pharisees booed Jesus, he Holy Father never turned him heel, which was a mistake in my opinion. I always thought the Jesus/Satan double turn would have caused a boom period not seen since Abraham was running the territory.

Nitpicking, but Dave always says that ROH "got on" Comet. Comet is Sinclair-owned. Acting like ROH got picked up by a cable network in this case is the same as saying NXT was picked up by WWE Network.

The idea that the nWo almost ended up being the new Dungeon of Doom, just a monster factory to feed to the Hulkster, is amazing. The boys really are the biggest marks in the building.
