Man the technique of holding the mic and yelling into one side of it is an amazing touch here
She was great! That’s the Mae Young I wished we had in the WWF instead of the perverted granny tandem with Moolah.

I would like think that Michael Hayes, despite traveling the world over, didn't run into a Jewish person until his 40s and then had a list of questions ready just in case.
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.

Chick Donovan’s grandson wrestles, his name is Bryce Donovan. They were even on a show together. He also played a security guard in an AEW angle, got punched in the chest by Wardlow, and they claimed he suffered a punctured lung from it (he actually punctured his lung in a vehicle collision months earlier).

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.

in the spirit of the Iron Sheik/Sgt. Slaughter 1984 feud being sparked by them crossing paths in an entrance way in-between matches.. here's a very minor, at first, way to spark a feud...
Wrestler A comes out for a match with Wrestler B. But Wrestler C comes out because he insists that he was sure that his match was the next match. Causing tensions with either guy in the match that he was delaying.
In the spirit of the most minor things causing people to get mad at each other
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.

He may have also been Kerry's coke mule.
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.

Brian Adias was so vanilla, I'm still confused how they booked him in Texas title runs
(oh he wasn't afraid to bleed every now and then, that's right)
James
He was Kerry’s buddy since elementary school. That’s why he got so many chances while being so drab personality wise.

The Sleaze thread was 19 and a half years ago, and I'm pretty sure that 90%+ of the people who joined to post to it aren't here any more.
Amusingly, I did see some random on twitter trying to discourse that DVDVR takes "too much credit" for the Sleaze Thread, considering it was immediately reposted to every wrestling forum that existed at the time, and a lot of the posts in their were from people who joined to post to it, rather than existing regulars.
I am, homeboy. Me and Tommy Rich’s peroxided balls.

What's that Brody payday lookin' like? 250k? Cool million?
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.

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.

I recall seeing a random episode with Sunshine managing Kabuki. It was awhile back but IIRC he was basically used to combat whoever she was opposing at the time as like an equalizer. I think they probably didn't have anyone else for that role and just chose Kabuki. I don't think it lasted very long.
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 Gary Hart talk made me have to pull up this lovely promo again. "Hey bro, what it is!" and "That's dirty, Brooks!" have been in my head for years now. Watching it again, however, you realize they're talking about Mike Von Erich's shoulder separation, which led to the toxic shock, which led to the coma, which led to the suicide. Yeesh. And the guy Gary would find to complete his trio? In the words of NWA Champion Mr. Harley Race, "............KABUKI!"
The trio was Gang, Brooks and Mark Lewin.

I went out and saw it last night and thought it was pretty good. Some of it was over dramatized and the time lines are all off, but despite that it was really good. MJF does at least get some screen time. I wish they would have kept his part in and dwelled on it because Fritz was a bastard for doing the old fake cousin gimmick right after another one of his kids died.
Without being too spoilerly, if anything they didn't go in enough on Fritz and the stuff he did. I guess Kevin still had some love and respect for him.
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.

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.
