The greatest cons in wrestling history
This maybe veers into conspiracy theory territory but bear with me here. Vince McMahon conning the movie-going public and his own audience into believing the tagline of Beyond The Mat, "the movie Vince McMahon does not want you to see"

Wrestler=Actor
I maintain Gary Oldman would be great as Vince but someone suggested Michael Shannon which would be good too. Maybe Shannon for young Vince (late 70's-80's) and Oldman for the Attitude Era.

Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard
His Pat impression makes him sound more Italian than Quebecois.

Holy Grails
Not too long before I believe, right? I think it was in '82.

Holy Grails
A couple I can think of is any possible handheld footage of Hogan/Big Boss Man vs. Andre/Haku just before WrestleMania VI, and Ultimate Warrior/Kerry Von Erich vs. Mr. Perfect/Rick Rude leading up to that year's SummerSlam which I think might have occurred at a TV taping. In 1992 there was a match with Hogan and Savage against Jake Roberts and the Berzerker that happened too, that I think was at a TV taping as well.

Last Battle of Atlanta
Was Bruno Sammartino, Jr. David?

Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard
I liked Bruce's dig on Chief Jay Strongbow when Conrad brings up something Strongbow said about the Warrior being a Native American character.

What was on the rest of the card?

More NWA World Championship Wrestling being uploaded as well.

Holy Grails
It's the full thing - 29 minutes of footage, including intros and the followup cage match. Is it up already?

Wrestling and the "shared universe" concept
That's the thing I miss most about the old-school format for the Survivor Series, how all these personalities and angles would intersect leading up to the show.

Burt Reynolds
On his podcast Bruce Prichard talked about the connection between Coliseum Video and porn, saying that the character of the Colonel in Boogie Nights was based on the head guy at A&H.

WWE Network... It's Here
Has the Hart-Funk match seen the light of day before?

WWE Network... It's Here
Their "Netflix and chill" should be "WWE Network and watch the Survivor Series match with all the tag teams from 1988 for the 381st time "

Peace out Mr. Fuji
A *big* part ? Seriously ? The Demos had that fucking SM leather outfit, makeup and a great music theme and were killing people. They didn't need Fuji at all. Who did Fuji managed at that time who got over like the Demos ? The Powers of Pain (just joking) ? Demolition wasn't over with Johnny V They never needed a manager as they were good enough at cutting promos. Then again, I can't think of any heel tag teams at this time that didn't have a manager.

Something to Wrestle with Bruce Prichard
"Something to Love" is a better title but would probably go over lots of people's heads.

The Jim Ross Is A Grouchy Hateful Vile Human Being thread
Someone on SquaredCircle on reddit reposted an item from Meltzer in November 1992 about Jim Ross being reprimanded by his radio station for off-color remarks about gay people. Does anyone know in particular what he said?

Peace out Mr. Fuji
Sure it wasn't him and Berzerker vs. Undertaker? He didn't manage Kamala in '92. I liked the Fuji/Tanaka vs. Barbarian/Haku match from MSG where Heenan takes a face full of salt. Must have been the only time (in WWF at least) he came close to being a babyface.

I follow Kennedy on Twitter. I don't know if she still has her show on their Business channel but I know she appears on the mothership occasionally.- WWE Network... It's Here
Doesn't he still appear on Fox News?- Hyperthetical: you find Vince's personal diary dating back to 1983
People have joked often that Vince had a man-crush on him. I actually believe it. - Peace out Mr. Fuji
