Jim "The Anvil" Neidhart

And unlike most wrestlers of his era that are dying prematurely, it wasn't his heart giving in because of the steroids, it was his brain quitting on him because of the CTE

Wrestling is loving depressing at times.

Verily, the whip is ghost riding.




That's him!

There is/was a joke in Rec.Sports.ProWrestling where when Neidhardt was mentioned everyone raced to says "Who?" first because he had a gimmick where his name was Who.

Thanks! It seems such a waste of life after reading up on all his bouts. Brother, if you don't look up the Hart Foundation, you're missing out.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Unrelated to my previous post, I saw Sam Hyde in Providence on my way home from work today. I fangirl screamed out the window at him even though I didn't really care for his racist skits on World Peace. He dresses exactly as stupidly in real life as he does in his videos and he also looked like he's on roids.

Why are so many people pretending they give a poo poo about Toto all of a sudden? Did one of the members die? Is it some big charity thing for a disease? Or are mee-mees to blame?

Memes. And this one jumped the shark pretty quick when Weezer recorded a cover of the song.

Africa is a hella mellow catchy song that is fun to sing along with friends when you’re drunk as hell and probably reminds people of simpler times

Toto has been present at a low level in the collective zeitgeist since they released that song. It's not that they made a sudden come back, it's that they never left

I liked when the US Postal Service used “Fly Like an Eagle” as their jingle for like a decade, and they karaoke’d out every single lyric except for “Fly like an eagle”

Holy poo poo, the lead singer of Toto is John Williams' son, the singing voice of adult Simba, and sang the Gummy Bears cartoon theme song? I spent so much time hating him and goddamn Africa when it could have just balanced out to 'meh, cool'
