The finest bit of wrestling radio ever done. It'll change your life.

Roddy Piper
Does this look like the one? Tonga Kid v. Dave Barbie (Roddy Piper comes down to ringside to interfere and JIMMY SUPERFLY SNUKA comes down to run Piper off! Tonga Kid is interviewed afterward) WWF TV 11/10/84 Could be. The timeframe is right.

Most Brutal Instance of "Color"...
I was at a show with Dusty vs Arn in a cage back in 86 where Dusty did the blading his arm deal and it was like a horror movie.

What does wrestling need to get hot again?
Ding ding! We have a winner. So basically , as soon as the Economy booms again or I win the Powerball, I'm gonna start a promotion and use this entire thread as my blueprint. It's a can't miss!

Is TNA the worst wrestling promotion in history?
That's hilarious. He got FOX Newsed.

Most Brutal Instance of "Color"...
Jay Briscoe during the cage match with Samoa Joe from the Rexplex was the sickest I've ever seen. The blood was falling off of him clotted.

Bob Cracklund is a HOODSLAM character just waiting to happen. I know some guys there, I'm totally pitching this to them.

The Steve Austin Show
It's a truly fantastic bit of interviewing. Austin is like the wrestling Mix of Stern, Tom Snyder, and Carson.

Roddy Piper
The best is a bit from Saturday morning TV where Piper and Orton are cornering Tonga Kid in the ring and all of a sudden the camera switches to a close up shot of Snuka coming thru the crowd wearing the neck brace .Vince and Bruno are all "Is that? It is!" Snuka gets in the ring tears off the brace , screams while extending his arms doing the Superfly fingers and the SHIT IS ON. I haven't seen this segment since it aired.

Current WWE
wasn't her first gimmick in WWE literally that she farted in every segment?It wasn't her first gimmick, but there was a farting Natty gimmick for awhile. Probably based on some backstage stuff. I remember she went on twitter to defend it saying she was having fun with it. I'd imagine that the progeny of Jim Neidhardt would be a prodigious farter.

The fake weed is called "spice" and is dangerous. It's got nothing to do with whole bath salts deal besides both being dangerous and the choices of morons. Honestly, Bourne kinda seemed fucking dumb about this. I'm sure hr thought

What are you watching?
I was at that Joe/ Brisco match. It was the first ROH show I went to. I fucking loved that match and Jay bled so much they were cleaning the ring afterwards tug whole rolls of paper towels. As in, take out the cardboard tube and use an entire roll as a sponge.

The Ross Report
That's every single one of his shows, pretty much. The one with Cornette just needs them screaming at a kid to get off their lawn.

"_______ should have been a top guy"
If Taylor had delivered promos like "I say, I say that Bobby Heenan is about as sharp as a bag of wet mice." , it would have worked.

Oh yeah, Taylor's heel run towards the end of UWF was fucking awesome. His promo with Magnum explaining his actions is pro wrestling perfection.

"_______ should have been a top guy"
Vinnie Vegas exuded personality. As dumb as it was, it was Nash's first chance to have a personality as a character. Van Hammer was a cipher.

Is drawing money overrated as a metric when discussing wrestlers?
Blackjack Mulligan and Kendell Windham drew money. BOOM! I'll be here all week, try the veal.

Is drawing money overrated as a metric when discussing wrestlers?
On the day AFTER Mania, they had bald Vince and Trump on the Today show, which surprised me. Oh and as far as babyface Shawn as champ goes, I was flipping to Nitro as well but not because of Shawn. Because of the rest of the RAW being shitty and Nitro being something new.
