September 29, 20204 yr Author comment_5929337 Just watched the Road Warriors episode. I heard Ellering tell the story about driving the van to the funeral on a shoot before but the way it's illustrated here, and the memory of Hawk's funeral did bring a tear to my eye. Joe Laurinitis' recent passing brought a whole new perspective to it obviously, but seeing how some of these guys are now is sad. Especially Droz, jesus.
October 13, 20204 yr comment_5930137 so word is season 3 will have episodes on: -Jake Roberts's entire family (or mainly just "Grizzly Smith" apparently?) -Brian Pillman -Collision in Korea -Nick Gage personally i love that the Jake ep won't just be about Jake, there's so much else that isn't as widely known
October 13, 20204 yr comment_5930138 Particularly curious about the Collision in Korea episode. I know so little about it, wonder what they'll dig up.
October 13, 20204 yr comment_5930139 That Jake episode is going to make for some depressing viewing if they make Grizzly Smith out to be as much of a monster as he evidently was.

October 14, 20204 yr comment_5930150 "Jake Roberts's entire family" -is more "Grizzly Smith" which is obviously irredeemably depressing story. I just hope it isn't a lazy cash-in on the True Crime/Youtube obsession with Paedos in the last two or years.
October 14, 20204 yr comment_5930151 Ahhhhh, thanks for the clarification there! Yea, same reservations but i'd rather have this than Jake's life story being aired out for the 100th time Also really glad to see Nick Gage on there just bc i think this would be the first story that breaks out of boomer territory lol
October 14, 20204 yr comment_5930157 Nick Gage going from shit deathmatch worker to convicted felon to great brawler/human being is as close to wholesome as pro wrestling gets.
October 14, 20204 yr comment_5930158 Good lord the Jake's family episode is going to be something. On top of Jake and Grizzly's obvious stuff, Rockin' Robin was an alcoholic, had a husband go to prison, and then lost everything in Katrina. Sam Houston has had an ungodly amount of DUI's, and also lost everything in Katrina. Now he and Baby Doll's daughter is in the business. and all I can think of is the exchange between Raven and Axl Rotten in a shoot interview... Raven: Why don't you think that went anywhere? Rotten: Enh, Grizzly Smith didn't like me. Raven: Cause you weren't a 12 year old girl? Rotten: Ha! Nah, man, he really fucked me. Raven: So you were a 12 year old girl....

October 16, 20204 yr comment_5930281 Completely disgraceful that Grizzly Smith still held a backstage position with WCW into the mid-'90s and even appeared on-camera at times.
October 16, 20204 yr comment_5930292 I remember on the Cornette pod where he said that Justin Roberts looked like a pedophile, he said that after telling a story about Grizzly Smith. It really is sickening that his crimes were basically swept under the rug and he way always "one of the boys".
October 19, 20204 yr comment_5930369 Surprised we havent gotten one on the British Bulldogs (or at least Dynamite Kid) yet. Ditto XPW/Rob Black

January 31, 20214 yr comment_5937121 I knew I was blanking on a specific episode when I tried to remember what would be on Season 3 and now Cornette reminded me.

Not many active American promotions in the last 25 years can say they were formed by a scumbag pornographer that served jail time and also "allegedly" hired some goons to castrate a former talent. This is apparently happening and I am quite excited.
March 6, 20214 yr comment_5941414 Only in wrestling could there be a series that has an episode about XPW and have it not be the most fucked up one of the season (that would be the Grizzly one).
March 7, 20214 yr comment_5941421 That's potentially untrue, since there's a lot of people in the adult industry that actively avoided Extreme Associates for an assortment of reasons.
March 11, 20214 yr comment_5942197 So Vice has been running old episodes of the show but also adding new deleted scenes that aren't even the YouTube ones which is kind of a bummer since it's been happening for a few weeks now so I've been missing most of them. But hey, heads up ya'll.
