See, I made the right call. Controversy was averted.

And the challenge of it is half the fun.

He did, but he sent me a message at 2 am last night saying not to pick as his plan rolled over. If we were going to get down to the wire, I'd make it for him regardless of that, but as things are now, I'll respect his wishes and hold off.

The point is that Stevens probably nuked his body with the partying.

Well, Ric Flair doesn't talk about Stevens' in ring skills, really. He talks about how he was the most insane drinker and mayhem-causer in the world.

If you ever want to win a bet with someone, show them this promo and then ask them which member of the Army is Fidel Sierra:

Wrestlers' praise for Michaels and Stevens: "Could do anything in the ring" "Could go all night" At least part of this community tends to care more about a wrestler doing the right thing in the ring at the right time for the right reason. The difference between Michaels and Stevens is that we have the footage to at least understand the argument with Michaels.

Dylan let me know his data plan rolled over so he'll do his own pick when he wakes up and you miss out on all my Portland jokes.

I feel like it was Tito that explained it. He was the latin star. Sal was supposed to be the Italian one but it didn't work out as planned.

I have a few meetings tomorrow but I'll never be far from internet access so I'm glad to do it.

Shelton Benjamin quantum leaped into his body

this might be the only southeastern I've ever seen, this and the promo about shooting Bob Armstrong and some of the Bullet heel turn.

It's one of the videos that I think people should get in their automated PWO registration e-mail

Goldie had definite value in Montreal in 83: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2qcDVn3qyyA

Didn't he beat Punk a few years ago with a 'rana to set up the AA?

Who the heck is that jerk?

Rip Oliver's a good pick. He probably should have gone earlier.

I think RocketCrypt should use this moment of chaos to bribe Kris so that he can pick Satanico and team him with Kevin Sullivan.

Will Tom Peterson throw in a new TV?

Someone had great plans for him so that's a shame (Not that Kris won't do good stuff with him but the plans I heard were great).

The thread does say "trash talk." It could be an AWA plan to divide everyone and then conquer considering who named the thread.

It's really hard to invade Idaho

And using him, alongside four or five other old guys on top, gets you the 1983 AWA roster. Which was one of the jokes I used before. That said, I'm looking forward to seeing the WWF shows too. I want to see Parv prove me wrong.

Also, Parv, part of why we were making fun a round or two ago is that we never expected you to actually keep picking old guys. It started as sort of an affectation where we could see you going for Brisco since he's one of your guys and you've seen so much footage, but then it came coming and coming. To the point we kept expecting someone completely different so the more of the same started to seem like a routine. We never actually expected you to pick Ole or Jerry Brisco, let alone Lars. We thought you had that old veteran role tied up, and you kept going back to the well.

To be fair, the Briscos had that great match in NYC with Murdoch/Adonis in 84. And the crowd was absurdly hot for that. Especially the finish. I think that it was easier for them to connect to Murdoch/Adonis than it would be to Ole/Lars.
