I love the shots where you think he's going to do the cutter on one of wrestlers, but nope, it's just on some random guy in the back.


And his Cutter and the cameraman, and lying down next to him to give the Diamond sign to the camera is greater than anything Orton's ever done.

edit: and his racing away from the arena, only to stop the car to Cutter someone truly is the greatest night in the history of the sport!

My favorite is the one where he's down and pops up and you expect him to give it to his opponent walking towards him but nope, gives it to the ref. loving genius.

Or his little aborted attempt to hit the Cutter on Douglas before he was called out, then the "Oh, nothing..."

Great Kanyon moment is when he and Shane Douglas are about to be in a tag match and they cut a promo where they disagree over who is going to get the win with which finisher. Shane storms off at the end and Kanyon looks all sneaky with his hands prepared for a Cutter. Then off-camera you hear, "Don't even think about it, Kanyon!" and Kanyon deflates.

Is what happened to Kanyon the most depressing story of an incredibly talented wrestler's demise where it was through no fault of their own? From what I understand, once he got to WWE, he was bullied for being gay, and then his bipolar disorder(?) eventually got the best of him and he committed suicide after his release.

That segment where he was forced to jump out of a cake in drag, sing, then get the poo poo kicked out of him by the Undertaker is loving disgusting.

I thought there was less time between his release and suicide, my mistake. But at at the same time, with how much he seemed to enjoy the business, I'm sure that had at least something to do with his ultimate decision.

The fact that there's any competition certainly says something about the business, that's for sure.

For comparison: Rhonda Sing and Larry Sweeney.

It's dudes interacting with their fans in ways the fans loving love, what makes it weird? They weren't sexually aroused by doing it.

You can't see the difference between a man high-fiving a child and licking their face? Seriously?

I mean, if the parents are okay with it after the fact, fine. But why would you take that chance?

Yeah it's the kind of thing nobody would (or should) do nowadays but it absolutely was not a sexual thing and fans loved it.

If you're watching it now for the first time (as the guy who originally brought it up did) then it's completely understandable you'd go :wtc: but it's just a sign of how different things were back then. The Bushwhackers were considered fun, family entertainment and a great draw for kids.

Did you watch wrestling back then? In its context it comes off as so normal, and it was during the peak of a child sexual abuse panic too.

Are you being deliberately obtuse? Yes, I watched wrestling back then. And I'm not saying it was sexual. But it's still a grown man licking the face of a child, not shaking their hand or patting them on the back. My point is, why would you take that chance in the first place? What happens if a parent took offense to it and punched Butch in the face? Would people run out and say "Hey, this is all in the context of wrestling, stop spoiling the show for everyone else!"

It would own so much when he flashed back to the Sheepherders days and carved that dad up. People on twitter are saying that maybe it is in fact kind of weird so maybe it is. I just remember kids from that era being loving thrilled if stuff like that would happen.
