He came out and danced with them, and they built an angle around him attacking their opponents and stuff. It was a whole thing.

Tank Abbot was obsessed with 3 Count and brought his own square so he could do their dance with them on their circles and they hated him until they finally accepted that it was a benefit to have a dumb monster who would beat people up for you. The Yung Dragons were 3 Count's arch rivals (when they weren't paid by the Cat to jump him to train him as a ninja). Leia Meow was at some point or another their dominatrix valet. Jamie-San was unmasked as a redneck and 3 Count turned on Evan Karagias allowing the two guys who fit the least to team up so they could do 3 way tag ladder matches. I don't even think they had anything hanging. I think they just did ladder matches. I loved 3 Count and the Yung Dragons. And yeah, then Kimona/Leia was the valet for the Varsity Club. Which was somehow weirder and sadder than the rest of what I said.

He had a funny story about being fired from WWE. A few months afterward he was backstage visiting, Vince wanders up. "Why are you not dressed for your match?" "Uh, I was fired months ago." "You're hired, go get dressed"

So they made a people of re-signing him on the spot. That such an average wrestler would be Vince's favorite really doesn't surprise me despite his lack of muscles.

I still remember somebody asking Luke Gallows on a podcast (might have been one of the Jericho versions of Talkin' Shop) if Vince remembered he had been Festus in the company before, and Gallows replied immediately,"No and for God's sake don't remind him."

There is not a doubt in my mind that Vince McMahon's appreciation for Jimmy Yang had absolutely nothing to do with his wrestling and everything to do with him being an asian elvis impersonator/redneck and Vince most certainly found that hilarious.

Did WWE go back on their thing of allowing users to watch every Royal Rumble, Wrestlemania, Summerslam and Survivor Series for free during quarantine? I suppose expecting WWE to be fun and helpful is expecting too much.

They were supposed to be a Japanese biker gang. But for various reasons, the idea was iterated upon until they just became two Japanese dudes and a white guy in non-makeup yellowface with no real gimmick who were a team. a stable of guys who do that subculture of japanese ppl who dress like 50s american greasers with huuuuuge pompadours would be amazing

Ive never seen TNA before; and don't plan on it except I wanna see some of these clusterfuck King of the Mountain matches; can someone post which ones are the good ones, or most entertaining clusterfuck if none are good; I quickly glanced over contestant lists to try to not get spoiled and saw some Sting/Samoa Joe/AJ ones. I the mean time I will watch this team  vs team  and hope Bret pulls out the victory! https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x5x5pjquote:In terms of star power, this is the Flag Match that featured the biggest names. It took place in Halifax, Nova Scotia in eastern at a time when the Hart Foundation stable was pro Canadian and anti-American in everything that they did. The crowd was supportive of the Bret, Owen and Bulldog team while Austin & Dude were the tag team champions. Their partner was supposed to be Shawn Michaels, but he got taken out earlier in the night so The Undertaker, who was the WWE Champion at the time, subbed in as their partner. It was a tag match with the rule where you had to capture your country's flag that was hanging on a pole above the ring posts in their respective corners. They basically worked a regular tag team match without pinfalls. God I always loved USA vs angles; especially since always had top guys for decades has the best wrestlers in the world* (*North America!) - Bret / Owen / Jericho / Omega / Lance Storm + Major Gunns  / BOBBY ROODE while Team USA's were like General E. Rection or whatever the gently caress that stupid fat gently caress from the PC Center was, and the Patriot, and like the dog faced gremlinI'm surprised how little Canadian wrestlers came from though; I can think of Test; Santino; Bobby Roode, Trish; and Edge/Christian if you count Orangeville. Montreal seemed to be a hotbed earlier on the the Rougeaus or Whoever, and now with Evil Uno/Stu/KO/Sami; that's a pretty good group representing. I'm sure there's a lot more. It's also crazy that Winnipeg of all places, raised probably the 2 GOAT's with Jericho/Omega; or at least should both Be on Mount Rushmore of wrestling.

That Tom Mcgee match changed my entire outlook on the hitman as a childhood hero, because it made me realize he had 5 moves; he just changed the order around, and they were just simple safe moves, like elbow drop off the middle rope. He was just basically propaganda to wrestlers; I loved Owen a whole more being the younger brother too. and it wasn't until like a year ago someone pointed out why the Hitman's finisher is called the Sharpshooter and my mind was blown.

Was Corey Graves ever good? By the time I first got into wrestling he was already essentially concussioned out, so I have never seen him in the ring, my only experience of him was his terrible (and creepy as poo poo) stint on commentary. How was he as wrestler?

It's not that they're both tatted up punk rock fans who used to be friends; there are some photos out there where it's absolutely shameless.

Yeah, I saw him as SJK before he went to WWE and like... he was fine, but nothing much more than an ok CM Punk knockoff. I thought he had a very tangible douchebag charisma but thats obviously born out to just be internal.
