Magnum TA was a large, powerful, high-caliber teaching assistant. That's why they did the angle where he learns all the secrets of wrestling from Mr. Wrestling.

The TA stands for Total Action. No word on how stoppable it is though. Really makes you wonder.

That's also true. Most Magnums are single-action or double-action, but Magnum TA was total action so you didn't even have to pull the trigger,

Magnum T.A. was named that because "Magnum, P.I." was a popular TV show at the time, and both the lead and Terry Allen had hall of fame 'staches. No one ever mentions Daffney's last name was Unger, which is why she wore a homemade shirt that said "Hunger for Unger" on Nitro once. She never used "Unger" outside WCW. Also, every few years I randomly think of that time Daffney sat in on commentary, and when asked about the Mamalukes called them "the Marmadukes." That always makes me chuckle. Last thing - did anyone else ever notice they tried to name the Crowbar/Son of Flair tag team as "the Badlanders"? I think they only used that name once. It was one of the few times I could even make out David Penzer's voice clearly.

Every once in a while I think of Daffney and get sad because she died and I'm like "Wtf, Daffney's dead? Why?" all over again.

This business has been terrible to a lot of women and I really wish it would get better. I like to think it is better but then you know WWE and it's horrible culture. I have no idea how women are treated in Japan or the indies or Mexico and Europe. Is it better there, worse?

Daffney was a ray of light in the pit of darkness that was the collapse of the WCW.

Daffney was so drat good through WCW, TNA, SHIMMER, everything. Her suicide is one of those really awful wrestling tragedies that chipped off a part of me. I miss her.

I miss her. its one of those things that I 100 percent blame on the business. I feel like if it wasn't so lovely to women then she'd still be here. I don't know that for sure obviously, but I don't think anything would ever convince me otherwise.

I don't know all the details but I'm quite happy to blame it on Dixie Carter specifically, or at least TNA. It's not wild speculation to say that fewer concussions and medical care would have made a huge difference.

Suplex Liberace posted:the final solution? He actually did start out as Final Solution somehow: He was named The Final Solution, but following complaints from Jewish organizations to the Turner corporate offices, his character was renamed The Ultimate Solution.[5] WCW claimed they were unaware that The Final Solution was the name Adolf Hitler gave to his plan to destroy the Jews

There's a very small possibility that they really did not know what the Final Solution was and that it wasn't a reference to Hitler's terrible plan. I do not however extend that same possibility to when Vince Russo wanted to give Hardcore Holly a finisher name and came up with "Hollycaust" for it.

Yeah, one is a simple adjective+noun combination that people could feasibly come up with and use if they hadn't heard much about Nazi Germany. The other is a very specific pun for a word you wouldn't ever hear out of its context.

I don’t know if Pillman got his “fake” release before that cage match, but WCW was promoting that he was going to be in the cage. If he actually no showed for that match, he was the smartest man on the heel side.

The story I always heard was that Hogan really wanted Pillman in the match so he could leech off his heat but Pillman conveniently arranged to have surgery on that day. Don't know how true that is though.

"Boy, do I remember this," said Meltzer on Wrestling Observer Radio. "Brian Pillman on the phone with me almost every night trying to plot a way out of this thing because he was starting to get over and he knew Hogan wanted to leg drop him. As soon as he started getting a buzz, Hogan wanted to leg drop him. All of a sudden, they called him and they wanted him in this match. "Brian had pops in his neck, and every couple of years, he needed to get surgery to get them removed. I guess I could say because he's dead now? it was elective surgery. He could do it at any time, and when he got the word that Hogan wanted him in this match to leg drop him, he went and had the surgery without telling anyone. Once he had the surgery, he couldn't do a match that quick."

I also love the phrasing of “Hogan wanted to leg drop him”. Not pin him, not beat him, but specially leg drop him. The power of his leg drop probably would have knocked the polyps off for good, brother!

Hogan actually did the surgery by leg dropping him. The polyps just came right out. Dr. Hogan reviewed the biopsy and that's how the band Green Jelly got its name.
