This photo from 1972 or so might be as close as they ever got to breaking kayfabe. And even then they could spin it as Vince threatening to blackball them if they couldn't "just pose for one stinking photo, goddammit!"

I've always loved that photo immensely, and I never could figure out why.

That picture works due to Pedro and Stasiak both looking like they don't want to be there.

 

The heels and faces can't interact in public no matter the circumstances was nonsense and the level Bill Watts made everyone take it to was preposterous. If a non-feuding heel and face are in the same bar why should it be an issue? They're supposed to be prize fighters, why are they supposed to dislike or fight each other for free if they have no beef?

That's why the reforming of the Hart Foundation was brilliant based on the logic that Owen and Davey Boy may have sorted out their issues with Bret over the holidays. (1) They weren't in the middle of their feud at the time, and (2) what assholes are going to spoil precious family time over pro wrestling beef? Some families know how to handle their dysfunction while others don't. It made all the sense that they may have moved on regardless if one is a "bad guy" or a "good guy".

I gotta say, Pedro looks like he just smelled Monsoon rip a fart

And Monsoon looks like he might be in the process of farting.

Highly unlikely!

[Cobra Commander]

No, it isn't.

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go make this Tout video.

[Cobra Commander]

also gotta love how some of the WWE Vault job amounts to "the wrestling version of Storage Wars where they find stuff on tapes in a box and figure out it's things that people might actually want to see"

I was planning on going to grad school for digital archival studies. This could be me! 

It'd all be comps of like Repo Man and definitely a Doink timeline. Probably a best of the Glamor Girls. And of course an Iiconics timeline.

What kinda dogshit deal are these people getting offered if a 21 year old is looking at a contract with the biggest wrestling company on the planet and saying "Pass"?

$40k a year reportedly plus your usual indy bookings is what was reported.

1. Don Callis calling Richards "SCOTT LEVY MARK" is great. 

2. Re: the actual Scott Levy, if you watched the recent Botchamania where he was goofing on some other guys at a convention interview, his hands were shaking like mad. The first thing I thought was "well that's what you get after a life of drug abuse" and boy sometimes I am not that smart. 

[Cobra Commander]

i'd think that 21yos are a little more ambitious about how high their salary could be for wrestling than someone who is a little more beaten down and older

obviously WWEID needs more wrestlers who are like 30 year olds playing AAA baseball

[Cobra Commander]

is the wrestling version of the Phillies/Dodgers finish a spot where a wrestler could just pin a downed opponent in a match and he gets distracted and loses? maybe in a more disastrous fashion than just that

He admitted this week he had Parkinson’s. 

[Curt McGirt]

Yes, I was referencing that being mentioned on the last page.

He also said this about Tommy Dreamer:

 

I don't really care for Don Callis, family leader, but I do enjoy Don Callis, Twitter user.

[odessasteps]

I grew to really not like Callis during his pod w Lance. Not done much since them to change my opinion.

Fuck off. Raja Jackson should be pleading guilty to attempted murder.
