I thought the shower sodomy story was about Duke Droese.

Christ, I didn't expect to type that sentence.

Palmer Cannon definitely quit WWE after an altercation with JBL, the only question is what JBL tried to do.

Supposedly (grain of salt) it was a lot of verbal sexual harassment not unlike what went on with John Martin and Richie Incognito in the NFL. On top of that, one of the reasons Cannon wanted to go home was because his father died, and supposedly he was ribbed about that.

He lasted less than a month IIRC, so that's not surprising.

Palmer Cannon's career highlight was having a short fat gentleman beat him with a ham. This is not a euphemism or code language.

Judging by some of his commentary on London/Kendrick matches, he's barely even "closeted".

She had a string of weird gimmicks. Remember the time her gimmick was basically, "This woman is a terrible singer?" They even did a Christmas album.

And it led to the second best segment that Daivari was ever in.

Hit her with a Barbed-Wire Baseball bat.

Also, I have a question. In one of the Botchamanias there are clips of old wrestling with Cole and King/Foley commentating over it and corpsing. Anyone know where that's from?

WWE 24/7 did a version of "showdown at shea" with Cole and Foley commentating and basically corpsing over everything. It's up on youtube somewhere and the whole thing is amazing. Just don't watch for the matches and enjoy Cole showing that he can be funny as hell sometimes.

Flair was actually the face in that match and Foley was the heel. So I think Rey vs Chavo is the only I quit match of recent memory where the face gave up.

Mercifully, Wikipedia bailed me out...

Wikipedia posted:

After getting breast implants, as well as straightening and bleaching her hair blonde, she turned into a villain. The villainous turn was motivated in an angle where her implants "leaked into her brain", causing her to become psychotic.

So yes, this angle happened and I have to imagine Russo was enraged he was beaten to the punch.

Also really glad I didn't have to google "Jillian Hall, crazy mind controlling ta-tas angle" or whatever the gently caress I was about to force myself to do.

One of the WCW referees was also bullied by Bradshaw and threatened with rape after he decided to fly first class (with his own money).

JBL was always a locker room bully until he was promoted to the upper echelon. The only one who was able to stand up to him was Joey Styles, of all people.

Lance Storm once tried and this was the result.

PW Torch posted:

This is from PWTorch.com

- Several weeks ago Lance Storm, who is currently a trainer at WWE�s Ohio Valley Wrestling territory, told the wrestlers he was training what to expect when called up to the main roster. He commented on how the Smackdown locker room is more old-school, and they can expect to experience more hazing and rubbing there, which is something Storm openly calls unprofessional. He singled out JBL and Hardcore Holly as two people to look out for. One of the OVW wrestlers passed along what Storm had said to Hardcore Holly and several other Smackdown wrestlers.

Storm had advised Derek Jeter (the OVW wrestler, not the baseball player) not to abide by the ruling of the backstage �Wrestlers Court�. Jeter ended up getting in trouble when commenting on not liking how he was stuck in a tag team, and the �wrestlers court� (with judge JBL) punishment for him was to fetch beers for JBL and watch tapes of tag team matches.

Storm was not pleased with this, and told Jeter to stop wasting his time with it. On WrestleMania weekend, when Storm and Holly crossed paths, Holly told Storm to �F*** off� under his breath. When Storm crossed paths with JBL, he challenged Storm to a fight, but storm Managed to keep the situation from escalating.

Depending on who you ask, the incident was seen as Storm backing down from a challenge or JBL overreacting and looking foolish.

JBL was the worst, but the locker room in general was mad at Billy Silverman. First class was inexplicably a big deal in 2001. I believe they are no longer giant babies about it.

Wasn't just sexual verbal abuse if anything it was more JBL's crew just completely working him over going to so far as saying Palmer's brother who died in a car accident was burning in hell and things like that.

His ladder match against Christian at Extreme Rules was great. He's had good singles matches against Christian again (SummerSlam 2013) Orton (Hell in a Cell 2012), John Cena (Vengeance), and there was a pretty good match against Bryan on some random Raw that I don't remember when.

The double turn with Ziggler at Payback was also really top quality, although more due to booking and psychology than in-ring work.
