Dark Side of the Ring

Who shoots who?

Brody is the board’s resident bad boy but Double K is from an open carry state, so who knows.

Hilarious that Kevin says "We had a rule in WCCW, you need to be at the show an hour early or you're in big trouble"

Meanwhile the Von Erichs were pilled up somewhere and no showing spot shows.

I thought Miz' dad had uniquely terrible hair, but here is BOORAY stealing the look.
--
The Rod Price hair weave being ripped out thing was actually mentioned in the Apters. I'm guessing it didn't make tape or they would have shown it here.

 

[BruiserBrody]

Did I know Sherri and Jake the Snake dated for years in the 70s? Feels like news to me.
Pretty sure I didn't know Sherri was a stripper either.
Sherri's funeral being another chapter in the drunk Jake the Snake saga was unexpected.

Sandman was fun for me. I've largely not seen any of the actual angles with Raven and his wife and kid. I was following along with the Apters 2 months behind, but that can't really do it justice.
His kid seemed like he felt exploited but never really came out and said it in his modern interview.

The Cairo/Sandman cane angle was big time time shit in the Apters and with all the media hype about the USA trying to save that kid from getting caned in the Philippines or wherever even broke into my 11 year old brain. I was geeked up reading about all this.

I really need to see some more Tri-State, because the clips of Sandman throwing slingshot dropkicks has me intrigued.

 

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

Sandman seemed like he had a pretty good grip on the fundamentals of wrestling but felt like he could make just as much money or more just hitting people with canes and smashing beer cans over his head.

I thought it was the best episode of the season. They had a ton of people to interview that were actually there and Sandman actively took accountability for his actions and was genuinely remorseful. There was no one trying to pretend things were better than they were like in most of these.

[One Epic Winter (OEW)]

Obviously gonna catch the Daffney episode. Borga and Hassan look interesting too.

Gilbert seems like one that should have already been done. Guy who wrestled in nearly ever major (and many minor) promotion, was a very influential -- but polarizing -- figure, died young, and left a thumbprint on the business that was larger than his resume on paper would lead one to believe.

 

[Brocklock]

I'm ready to be bummed out for a while after the Daffney episode.

 

[Gary]

Worried how much the Tony Atlas episode will talk about his foot fetish.

 

[Valeyard]

I hope Hell In The Cell goes into that time Terry Funk told Foley to start on top of the cage.

Here's the teaser trailer

Drug abuser whose smartest career move was being a Meltz source and was thus elevated in the newsletters for years?

Recent years even the famed Continental booking run with Heyman has been scrutinized since both were letting Dave know how awesome things are and Dave wrote glowing reviews.

Had such an ego that he changed Flair's house show booking so Eddie wouldn't have to job to Ron Simmons in Memphis and got himself shitcanned off the writing team.

Threw a fit and broke Kayfabe in Japan.

Fucked Cornette over in his last best chance to be something in North America and died on an Island alone off shore by the Shit Hole countries.

 

[Valeyard]

I feel like you argued against yourself and made Gilbert sound even more important.

 

[snuffbox]

Yeah now it sounds like Gilbert out-Hogan'd the Hulkster and I'm more excited for the episode.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Yeah that stuff sounds fascinating.

 

[Hawk 34]

Brody dumbed himself out of position cuz now he babyfaced Eddie to all of us.

 

[tekcop]

Eddie Gilbert is the coolest person to ever live in Lexington, Tennessee. Edging out me and John McAfee.
