I doubt they came straight out of the Anthony Quinn and Yaphet Kotto blaxploitation film. Unless Turner bought the rights for it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing Crusher Broomfield was from somewhere does south. lmao Halsted is nice as hell. Well, now it is. I have no idea about back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they came out to Bobby Womack, it would be the greatest entrance ever! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I think about it...Jackie Brown came out during the height of Harlem Heat/the beginning of Booker's push. The Harlem Heat theme was very recognizable by then, but if they switched it for the Bobby Womack song, that would have been the best. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirSmUgly Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Best we'd have gotten is Ersatz Bobby Womack composed by Jimmy Hart. Pam Grier driving away from Robert Forster while I yell GO AFTER HER, YOU FOOL is a great use of that song. Second greatest would be Stevie Ray shit-talking on his way to the ring while that song plays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 after tonight, is CM Punk gonna continue his 1996 Brian Pillman tribute by showing up to Shane Douglas' Target store to challenge him to a match? 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlk23 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 Now do Ricky Stark showing up at the Rumble with Cody. Or Adam Cole at AEW shows when he was with NXT. Or Brit Baker at NXT when Cole was there. Because it's Punk, it will be bigger than it has to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 This is where I miss wrestling hotlines. Is CM Punk replacing Tucker Carlson on Fox News? What role did Cody Rhodes' loss at WrestleMania 39 have in the Dominion settlement? For all the news and more, call 1-900-909-9900. Kids, get your parents permission before calling. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 This week's Between the Sheets episode introduced us to a terrifying future where Bix was able to create an AI Murray Hodgson voice (which was in response to the guest talking about the idea of making a better AI Mean Gene voice) Soon enough Bix and Kris will use AI to make 7 hour long podcasts instead of talking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a serious note: My bigger question is how did he get backstage in the first place? Those folks are at the building all damn day before the show. Did they just notice a dude with tattoos who looks remarkably just like Phil Brooks was walking backstage? That's kinda bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call the hot line Now I gotta go find Prichard doing Jim Cornette from the Royal Rumble 1998 STW episode where he does Jim's full explanation of why Chainsaw Charlie should come out of a box by giving several, specific different examples of wrestlers coming out of boxes. Everyone comes out of a box at some point, Jim. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infinit Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Is there any reason Bill Watts never signed Randy Savage in the years before his WWF debut? Given he worked in Memphis wouldn't he have had an in when Bill Dundee was booking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Apparently there was talk about it, around the time Lanny came in. But yeah, Dundee being the booker not only killed that, but it allowed Jarrett to bring in the Poffos to Memphis. If you want to hear JC discuss the idea Spoiler https://youtu.be/ypVo_0kHRlE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
