There’s a lot of good grist for a DSotR episode IMO. The former stripper, future male escort background. Nearly being paralyzed in the ring, being wildly unpopular with most of the boys, the DDP Yoga redemptive arc.

Literally the episode before was of a nice family man who died young of cancer. Maybe they are grasping at straws for subject matter.

That's what I'm saying. Tenta didn't deserve an episode, either, but the business is SO scummy there's still hundreds of threads that we know about worth pulling. Bagwell at least has the elements. Honestly should've pushed Tenta back the second the Vince news broke because it's just a funny look showing the "dark side" of one of the most likeable guys ever when so much else is happening.
I thought the Buff one was better than a lot of stuff they've done the last season or two tbh. It was worth it just for the stories about Buff trying to murder his dad and Slick Johnson walking in on Judy shaving Buff's balls.

Kind of funny that Brian Last had the exact opposite opinion as I did "We know these people, they don't need to do these introductions!"

I may watch the Buff episode this weekend even though I do not GAF. The Judy shaving his balls story won me over.

Buff episode was solid. Interesting/crazy parental stories.
Still a very punchable face.

Quake in the Yoko role with Owen goes so much further.

Good episode, but not as insane as Bagwell's family story.
Other than Ray Gordy's story on Terry's death I'm not sure I "learned" much.
Corny's Militia gear made SMW look even more low rent than it already was.
The RF Video clips of Gordy was sad to see.

Davey took every steroid he could find in the Stampede region in his 7 months away from the WWF. TNT Kid meanwhile is rapidly shrinking.

Apparently next week we are going to hear about how Hogan got Beefcake out of his hospital too quickly after his facial reconstruction surgery and was walking him around the hospital until Beefer's eye fell out of his skull and Hogan had to rush him back to bed.

The producer was on Corny's show. Harley Race's family sent them a giant box full of tapes, reels and pictures to use. A VHS tape was labeled "Harley's greatest matches". They got all excited to see what this was and when they popped it in the VCR it was taped over for..... Fletch 2.

I misread this at first as Hayes being "silly" about the Executioner being Gordy.

This is going to be the opposite of their usual "Such and Such was not pushed and paid by the big companies forever and ever." I do roll my eyes at their general narratives regarding pushes and whatnot.
Even a guy like Tenta who wound up flushed out of the big leagues....they openly admit he quit the WWF several times. That's a guy Vince is supposed to pay for years and years and trust to push?
WCW was always a train wreck so that's a different story. I can't imagine they didn't offer Tenta the standard 156K a year at some point to be a card filler. I'm sure his 94 contract was much more lucrative and the paycut was seen as disrespect.

Beefer was gently buried on this. Hammer, Blair and his wife said nice things, but most everyone else was there to confirm Beefcake was Hogan's bag carrier. The on scene retelling of the parasailing accident was interesting. The Sherri story was funny.
Sad that he was yet another guy to make tons of cash and end up with nothing to show for it.
The "aspirin" story was good only because the Leslies are likely full of it and everyone else told the truth.

While I wait for a decent copy of the Harley ep to pop up, the guys released this as well this AM. I should be sick of this story, but I'm going to give it a go later.

The powers that be seemed to be very aggressive in getting any bootleg copies off of YT. Usually 3 or 4 are up at least for a bit. I would have watched this AM but I am starting vacation so I was drinking bloody marys with Mama Brody on the windy shores of Lake Michigan instead.

Lovely to hear Race was a wife abusing drunk who fathered kids out of wedlock and ignored them $$$ wise. This business has no heroes.
This is minor compared to that, but they ignored the fact that St Louis going belly up once Sam retired in 1982 (Thanks to Geigel and Verne mismanagement) bankrupted Race and forced him to turn to the WWF to try and make some money at an advanced age. (See Rhodes, Dusty)

I have had a rough week of sleep, and I nodded off during a chunk of the Colt episode and didn't bother going back to rewatch it.
I have to give the producers credit for not only showing Colt's S and M porn clips, but finding the guy in them too.
