Smackdown, Banks vs. Bayley. 6th November 2020.
mattdangerously replied to The Natural's topic in WWE PROGRAMMING
Is Vince going to do that thing he does when he weaponizes someone's personal life to humiliate them by having Cole ask Lars about gay porn next week? -
They're large, identical twins. It's a unique enough gimmick that they really didn't need much else.

Them and Brian Lee dragged down a good chunk of 1996 ECW, though Lee at least had a really fun match against Gordy.

Yeah, it's not nearly as good as you want it to be. Dustin wasn't terrible in it, but he wasn't good, either. And yes, he is definitely a chonk at this point in his career. -
Dolfan Watches Every Wrestlemania On Lockdown

You absolutely should. They're my home promotion, too. I've been to about 100 of their shows, and have never had a bad time. They're cranking out some stars, too--Gino Medina, Kylie Rae, Hyan (she's gonna have a massive 2021)... -

Are there any indie promotions near you? You need to go see some more live shows. -

His match against Goldberg on the first Thunder is better than anything Warlord ever did as a singles wrestler. -
@EoaeI can assure you that Ross had a lot more control over the book than you think. EDIT: I will say that I think that Barry Bloom had a lot to do with it, too. Fuck Barry Bloom.
-
I should add that I don't believe the omission was done with any malicious intent on the part of Ross. But it still pisses me off a little.

The original co-writer for Ross's first book was Scott Williams, who also did the autobiographies for Terry Funk, Bill Watts, and Jim Duggan. Scott was also my best friend, as well as my editor at the Galveston Daily News. About halfway through the production, after Scott had already written at least a large chunk of the book (and maybe even an entire rough draft), Ross replaced Scott with Paul O'Brien. I don't know how much of the writing was kept and reused by O'Brien, if any, but I do know that they used Scott's research because he knew more about parts of Jim Ross's career than even Ross knew. And up until his death in 2016, he was still helping out Ross whenever he could. When Ross showed off the cover to his book in 2017, Scott's name was left off the cover. They were going to give him a dedication page instead. This didn't sit right with a lot of people, including Bix (who was also friends with Scott) and Brian Last (who knew Scott through an appearance on Cornette's podcast). They argued with Ross on Twitter until he added Scott's name to the cover. There's a little more to it than that, but that's the Reader's Digest version.

He really was, though. Sid, Roma, and even Mongo were better than Warlord. -
Dude had to be publicly shamed into putting his deceased co-writer's name on his autobiography. Fuck him.
-
Leviathan was literally a demon from hell summoned up through the Ohio River in a Satanic ritual by Cornette's dominatrix girlfriend and her bootleg Ministry Of Darkness stable.
-
The best thing about Damien Kane was his wife, Lady Alexandra. Cornette doesn't need to work in the industry because he doesn't need the money, but Cornette doesn't work in the industry because he is toxic as hell and no one wants him around.

Does he own any t-shirts that aren't kind of fascisty? -

I don't think a team of Koko and the most racist man in wrestling would have ended up lasting too long. I think Koko would have straight up murdered him. -

I saw Jinder Mahal three times during his indy run between WWE stints, so I'd say it's a three-way tie between all of those shows. -

More details, from the official announcement: "During autumn of this year, the first 4 wrestlers of this group will be announced, who will be called to revolutionize the AAA lineup. On the one hand, we will have the technical wrestlers: Aracno and Leyenda Americana and, on the other hand, we will have the tough wrestlers: Terror Púrpura and Venenoide." My español is a little rusty, but it looks like it's going to be luchador versions of Spider-Man; Captain America; Venom; and a large, erect penis. -

Jack: Tracy and I have become quite close. Look, we got BFF bracelets. Liz: You guys are best friends forever? Jack: That's not what that stands for.
