Supposedly, others were against using Hodge as a ref or a judge or whatever he was brought in for due to his age. So yeah, they were fine with using folks who were mostly formally untrained in combat sports and allowing them to get concussed among other terrible bodily injuries but using old ass Danny Hodge? Nope! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope! Since that pre-dates all the wellness policy stuff, the Lawler heart attack, the 'no contact' list, etc., I wonder if that's more to do with a weird McMahon age hang-up - like how he supposedly doesn't like gray hair, or numbering WM/calling it 'the Grandaddy of 'em all' anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they aren't using Vince's frozen head as an international object by 2025 at the latest then wrestling as an art form is dead. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizium Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 16 hours ago, Contentious C said: Heyyyyyyy, yeah, so I never venture into this space anymore because, yeah, I have some complicated feelings about wrestling. How complicated? Well, it would make my year and a half of film mini-reviews in the Movies/TV forum look like the trivia blurb on the back of a baseball card. But, having said that, I know a lot of you are DC-adjacent, so I wondered if any of you had seen this group before - they might be the strangest indy I've seen that didn't have Kaiju... https://www.flyingvtheatre.com/wings/fights/doubledash/ It's right down the road from my place, and I'm still debating whether I'd go at all, because, well, if I'm going to drop $25 on something, I want it to be *good* and I have no idea if this would even be that. But, it seems none of the rest of you have a clue about it either, if the search function is to be believed. But hey, there's an indy show *tomorrow night* for cripes sake. Anyone else with an opinion?? I've never heard of them, but it looks like a fun concept, I would probably check it out. Some great wrestlers listed to appear: The Outfielders, Cheeseburger, Eel O'Neal, O'Shay Edwards, Killian McMurphy... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all knew Vince had designs for the guy ever since WBF, but this would have required quite the long term planning for a (reasonably) young Vince! After WBF failed, he just quietly had this guy put into ice for later use, because he saw that this is how he wanted to look for the rest of his existence. I wonder if a large portion of the merger money is actually going into putting this sinister plan to motion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is Pete Lederberg who was a co-host a couple of times or Ken Jugan, Elio Zarlenga and Greg Mosorjak who published a wrestling newsletter (together with Hildebrand and Lederberg). Also it would be interesting if Haruo Yamaguchi is/was related to Wally (Yusuke) Yamaguchi. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Jugan also became Lord Zoltan in the Pittsburgh area indies, and Greg Mosorjak is Count Grog as well as the promoter of a couple of indies in North Carolina for close to 30 years now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
