No idea, but knowing Ross, it probably ended this way. "[something offensive to gay people].... not that there's anything wrong with that..."

Another board is ripping this apart which is so telling of a negativity I absolutely hate about certain boards and their willingness to try and tear something down before they have even seen it (hell, before it's even been made).Bitter, bitter stuff. I'm all for any new wrestling programme / content. If it isn't good I simply won't watch. But I go into everything with open eyes and ears looking to enjoy it. I think it makes me a far less pessimistic and bitter being.

The cooking the dog story will always be the most messed up "rib" I've ever heard of.

This one is pretty black and white, yet I see the discussion going long and tedious.

I think they do it to spite the wrestler, I'm not even joking. Spite may be the wrong word, perhaps "own" the wrestler. As if to say, you can leave under the worse circumstance, but you'll always want back.

Did ESPN Classics carry Herb's UWF at one point or am imagining that?

It's a bit funny, not hilarious. A 4/10 on the Jim Duggan scale.

How long have you been having these thoughts?

Van Dam did the exact same "Dixie Carter Eye" to imitate Perry Saturn in his 98(?) RF Video shoot. The one where he did a lot of it in character.

RVD has to be a popular shout for lots of wrestlers themselves. Seth Rollins recently said he was a huge RVD fan growing up - I wonder how many of the 2002 - 2006 ROH / Indy circle loved him from 97 / 2001, were inspired by him, but will never fess up. I honestly can't put my finger on why this would be?

From a PR perspective, if somebody really wanted to own the troll instead of feeding it (as in, if the WWE were really interested in spinning something out of this for their own gain, which they're not) it would be Rock / HHH / Steph / Cena / Austin / Hogan - somebody of that ilk. And the reply would be a very simple "Do you want to compare bank balances?" Personally, I see this for what it is though, and get a chuckle out of the spectacle of so many people being thin skinned and biting.

It's a diary, intended to never be read by anybody, so it can safely be assumed everything in it is the truth. It's also very detailed and conveniently indexed But, you can only pick and read one entry (and all associated entries of thereof). What do you read? Rita Chatterton? Owen Hart? Screwjob? Nailz? Mar 26th 2001? Benoit murders? Something else?

The Ross impressions are the creepiest things. Terry Funk, Jim Cornette, Dusty... they're all just so strange.

Not a channel, but an interesting video I've just found where Linda discusses Mel Phillips from Titan Towers:

When Worlds Collide, outside of the Barr / Eddie vs El Hijo Del Santo / Octagon match wasn't all that, and most certainly wasn't card of 94 (that goes to the J cup that year).

I always remember this for Bret Hart doing a pre tape, marking the first time he was filmed specifically for Raw since 97. It took a further three years for him to feel comfortable enough to enter a ring, live. Apparently Vince's brother was meant to get involved with this storyline also until the Benoit incident. My memory is suggesting he was even at that "tribute" Raw.

Jericho said in his second book that the bit was weird like he knew something was up. I've seen it a few times since (it's on YT still) but if I'm honest, I've never got that from watching it. What I took from it was that he was not in the mood to speak much, via his opening comments. It was known Nancy / Daniel were dead, so I can't picture Regal (who by many accounts is a nice, down to earth guy) giving Benoit any compliment, nevermind "he was the absolute best" if he had any inkling that Benoit had just killed his family. That's my personal take on it anyway.

They wouldn't allow or want a Nick Diaz.

Just saw this absurd gem. Jesus. RE the current situation fromt he ESPN reporter, we will have to see USADA come out with I guess. Whatever happens, I can't see WWE doing a thing though.

I second this.

Even this one Stone Cold Steve Austin, Cactus Jack & Chainsaw Charlie vs. The Rock & The New Age Outlaws suprised me as had no idea Rock was tagging with DX That would be before NAO joined DX / before WM14.

Thanks BAHU for sharing, hope you're well. Shocking read

Atomic drop straight into a back suplex is a nice little spot (inc its variants) used in Global a lot which isn't used at all today, someone needs it in their repertoire...

My personal favourite will probably always be the Bret Hart SS95 one, but yeah, this was an awesome spot. It came out of nowhere and was timed perfectly as you say.

No Bret Hart matches is interesting...
