This is obviously not undiscussed material but it could be interesting, especially since it’s not produced by WWE.

Unless they reveal a new suspect in the murder I don't know if I care.

Spoiler

somehow, it was all Chip Minton’s fault

 

[Valeyard]

Dude Nash looks awful

 

[Lazgistics Supervisor]

Last 5 minutes of episode 4...

"And then Jamie Kellner came in, racked his gun, and took aim."

 

[Valeyard]

Basically. Everyone will blame each other for every noteworthy moment from Starrcade 97 on and then "AOL Time Warner cancelled WCW." It's going to be a well produced one-stop for everything, which is fine enough but I don't see anything new at all. Not unless they get Turner himself in for an interview, and from what I understand that is not possible.

 

[BUTT]

Nice of Nash to offer the bullshit story (that thing he always says about how he didn’t book himself to end the streak and Goldberg put his arm through a window a week after the fingerpoke and ruined the plans for him to chase Hogan) or the truth. Wonder which one the producers chose!

Uh, Ric, do you know who produces DSotR, you pickled, old, forgetful fool!?

 

[Valeyard]

I mean he's not really wrong. He's a very important part of the story. Definitely more than Cornette is.

 

[King Kamala]

It’s hard to justify morally producing that episode of DSOtR then inviting Ric Flair in to be in the documentary.

Ric Flair is whorish enough to work with the dudes who nearly got him canceled though.

 

[Valeyard]

Morally speaking they've made days worth of content exploiting the dead, disabled, and victims of horrible things on Dark Side alone, now they're working with Rock who is still friends with Vince (a key factor in almost all the horror stories they've presented). I'm fine with a Flair interview.

 

[snuffbox]

Yeah, it's a little weird to take such a moral stand on Flair and then defend McMahon despite his many demonstrably worse behaviors.

And, as Vale already said, Flair is a big part of that story. He was in WCW that entire time and maybe it doesn't end so precipitously if folks like Bischoff had pushed the people their paying customers wanted to see, like Flair.

It’s hard to justify morally producing that episode of DSOtR then inviting Ric Flair in to be in the documentary.

LOL this is such Consequence Culture mindset. Having someone appear in a documentary about a subject they are incredibly relevant to is an endorsement of their character and all their behavior.

 

[cobainwasmurdered]

Some of the literal greatest documentaries feature horrible people. Interviewing them is not a moral endorsement.

How am I a consequences culture guy and a Vince McMahon defender? The world is nuanced,

I wouldn't be shocked if they reached out to Flair's reps and got a hard no before it was even presented to Flair.

 

[Valeyard]

I kinda would because Flair has nothing to lose and this is directly tied to WWE. But I love Conrad being goalie just to promote a podcast as a better alternative.

 

[King Kamala]

“Morally” was an obviously, severely poor choice of words, on my end. Unlike anime, I have watched a number of documentaries and know how they work.

 

[Valeyard]

And if you're really worried about any kind of moral handwringing, all of these terrible people involved tying themselves to one another should be a good thing. They're hypocrites now and that's the cornerstone for good soapboxin'.

 

[King Kamala]

I’m not really that morally aware btw. I just play one on CXF and in my group chat.

 

[Valeyard]

Oh I'm speaking broadly, not specifically towards you. I know that thought process is prevalent.

 

[BruiserBrody]

No doubt Flair was asked, then requested 10K or whatever, and got a "big nope" as an answer. So now he can whine about it on social media,

 

[Valeyard]

Like I said, Conrad was goalie and used the chance to promote a podcast that had a REAL story through Flair bitching. Whether Flair knew or not is a different issue, if only because I think he'd have done it anyway whoo shoulder slap cripple strut.

“Fuck, Sean. I don’t want to talk to Ric. Fuck it. You tell him. I don’t give a fuck.”

 

[Tino Standard]

Why Does He Capitalize Every Word In His Captions?

 

[King Kamala]

If Ric Flair went on Busted Open, I feel like that would be the soundtrack in my own personal hell.

 

[Sex Machine Gun]

I now demand Flair go on Cornette's.

 

[BruiserBrody]

I now demand Flair go on Cornette's.

Pretty sure they traded interview gigs years ago.

 

[alkeiper]

I’d say there’s a better than 50/50 chance Flair isn’t even writing his own social media.
