The Great ML

I remember his flub walking to the back, looks right in the camera and exclaims, “And THAT’S how you take care of Ernest FUCKING Miller!” Immediately realizes his swearing and cringes all in one motion.

She was great! That’s the Mae Young I wished we had in the WWF instead of the perverted granny tandem with Moolah.

Legend has it to this day Solo is still leaving Jimmy hanging.

The Coliseum Video exclusive that never was…

I mean how many times did he and the Birds headline the Hanukkah Star Wars from Reunion Arena?

Tommy Young just won the Masters, Wahoo looks pissed, Stunning Steve is happy to be there, Curt Hennig is grinning because he roofied both of Steve’s beers.

That Kroger pork loin double your money back scam is an all-timer.

That’s a Plowboy Frazier special, daddy. Uncle Elmer asked Bundy to stand on his chest, then showed an agent some decade old x-rays and claimed a broken rib for time off.

I think the thing that is off-putting about Rock is that he wants you to know just how charitable he is. He can’t do a good deed without a camera being present.

I remember in World Class, there was a scheduled match with Mike Von Erich and Wild Bill Irwin. As they were being announced/introduced in the ring, David Manning runs in and says “we have to get Terry Gordy and Killer Khan out here NOW. They’ve started their match, fighting in the dressing room. Sorry guys, your match will have to wait later.”

He was known as Skandor Akbar during that era.

I saw the web address and my brain said Lionel Hutz.

Quite possibly. The one time Kerry came back from Mexico and his honeymoon he got popped at DFW airport with a bunch of pills and other assorted party favors.

He was Kerry’s buddy since elementary school. That’s why he got so many chances while being so drab personality wise.

I am, homeboy. Me and Tommy Rich’s peroxided balls.

Depends. Are we talking a WM main event? A loop against Hogan in major markets? FWIW, the payday Bundy had for working WM2 with Hulk was $50k. I’m sure Brody would have asked for a lot more.

“It was perthonal, daddy…”

By 1980, LA was dead.

That poor woman. What a vile creature Vince is…I hope he faces prison and dies penniless.

I hope a ring set on fire isn’t based on Hulk Hogan’s BS story of how Harley Race set the ring on fire at a WWF Missouri show, then asking Hulk for a job.

Kabuki turned back heel not long after this at the Cotton Bowl ‘85 show. He did a couple tours for AJPW and inexplicably came back in Spring 86 being managed by Michael Hayes before the Birds bolted to the UWF in May.

The trio was Gang, Brooks and Mark Lewin.

Timelines are terribly messed up. Things that never happened on syndicated or local television here in DFW. Conflating a worked match finish as real life locker room drama. But to me the most jarring was the casting choice of Kerry Von Erich. The actor portraying him could have been better chosen as young Chris Von Erich, had he been written in the script. I fully expected things like this, so all in all, it didn’t damper my enthusiasm for the film…sad as it was. Bring Kleenex.

Nah, Morton meant that when he said it 20 years ago. He only now says Kevin was smart to the business because he worked with him and got a decent pay day out of it.

We’re on that durn compyooter…it’s a wayve of the future!
