Didn’t he get legit choked out by Hulk Hogan in the 80s?

Also, I’m listening to Semp’s cliff’s notes version of Harley Race’s early career from today’s WOL and its the first time I’ve ever thought “keep talking Mike, this is interesting and important.”

Semp co-hosted an episode of the 6:05 Superpodcast and I didn't mind him. Those Sin Limite shows with Dave were good too.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Every Harley Race story I know ends with him either beating, stabbing or tasering people. Vince McMahon is a special kind of dumb.

Elix Skipper's alternate ring names are...quite something.

and of course, Skip Over (which I'm surprised they didn't go for "Skip Oveur" given his impending attachment to WCW's Team Canada)

Back in those days I read a website, I don't remember which one but something generic, but there was a guy named something like Dan 'the WCW mark' and he claimed that Elix Skipper was his manager at a Wendy's before he got signed to WCW. It was such a random claim, but it cemented itself in my memory, and every time I hear his name I think of that.

Race would have just beat the poo poo out of him but Frank probably would’ve crippled him for life with a kneebar or heel hook. Vince’s strut would be at least twice as goofy

Listening to it now but wanna say I also really enjoyed Dave's interview with Buggsy McGraw, even though there are a few moments where it sounds like he's getting completely lost before he eventually gets back on track.

Jacob Fatu's the star and he's getting pushed to the top, he's even already their world champ

It'd kinda be like saying Yujiro was a star just because he happened to be in Bullet Club when they were the top stable, or Michael Tarver when the Nexus was a thing. Gotch is no Fatu, he's the scrub on the side that Fatu kills if he turns on him

i'm still trying to think of when Dave would have even talked about Simon, other than like talking about how people didn't like him in the locker room after the release, and he was hardly the only one to back that up. I remember I saw an interview where he whined about "dirtsheets" but he didn't mention Dave specifically
