DIRECTIVE 236: Promote pro-social values
As the signal slowly beams across the galaxy, the aliens only stumble onto WCW at the tail end of its existence, when Jeff Jarrett had all the stroke and was the chosen one. Once WCW ends, they panic and desperately search for other wrestling broadcasts, only to finally receive TNA. They rightly surmise from this programming that Jeff Jarrett is the most important and revered human on Earth. Soon, they too begin to worship him and his trademark Memphis heat spots. The Church of Slapnuts is formed. Converts are baptized with a guitar shot to the head. Beautiful statues of Double J are erected, made out of pure Global Force Gold. Finally, Planet Jarrett has become a reality.

I tend to see TNA and WCW as just different phases of a long-existing curse.

His name is Jeff Jarrett, and if he was anyone else's kid he'd have a career on the level of Nunzio.

Was there a particular reason a bunch of people were popping quads all around the same time? It seems Triple H, Nash, and Vince all seemed to tear theirs within a couple years of one another.

Yeah, after the outcry about the violence of the first one, the Turtles weren't allowed to use their weapons on people in the second one

Trips and Vince are likely for the obvious reasons, and Nash has had bad legs since he played basketball.

It’s funny how perceptions change over time. I remember back in the day everybody hated Nash because he was lazy and selfish. 20 years later it’s pretty much unanimous that Kevin Nash rules, largely because he’s lazy and selfish.

I’d mostly attribute that to getting old and having jobs, but I’d like to think his run in the X-Division had something to do with it too.

He also hasn't been revealed to be racist or a sex offender or something, which helps, and with standards being so much lower nowadays it's easy to take his flaws in stride.

I'm ambivalent- it wasn't exactly cool to get himself over at the expense of his fellow workers, but it was cool and ethical to take his employers for all that they were worth. Seems like a cool enough guy now tho.

It's funny that Nash took his employers for a ride several times but in 1999 he was management and his actions are a lot less cool then.

I was introduced to a lady at a wedding a few years ago because her husband was a wrestler in the 70’s. I forget the specifics (I was very drunk) but after he retired, her husband started a gym in Florida that a bunch of wrestlers would hang out at, and I guess they were all friends or whatever.
Anyway, she was very excited to talk about how she was friends with (among others) The Rocks Mom and had hung out with The Rock a bunch, I guess got to know him pretty well. So everybody around is all excited to hear this lady tell stories about the famous actor she knows, which admittedly is cool, but then she casually mentions this other wrestler that she is friends with, one she was pretty sure I’d never heard of, a guy who used to wrestle under the name Meng.

I was marking out bro.

So again, I reiterate that I was very drunk. My questions might not have been exactly coherent, my memories are certainly... foggy, but I’ll never forget the moment I had been waiting for, I asked the question:

“So I heard he bit a guys nose off one time?”

“Oh my god... how do you even know about that??” She seemed surprised, like it was some family secret nobody was supposed to know.

But nobody else wanted to hear about the time some wrestler bit a dudes nose off, so the conversation moved on and I had to leave to deal with my then-girlfriend, who was also very, very drunk. Good times.

Kevin Harvick's #1 Fan!

When I was probably like 14 or so my dad went to a Toyota dealership to look at a truck. The salesperson was driving us on a golf cart from the showroom to their Tundra inventory, when I saw their detailing manager, Meng. The only good story the salesman had was about some customer being a demanding jerk until Meng walked up, and his attitude did an immediate 180.

Ricky Santana worked there too, but I didn't see him.

I have a similar but less cool story from a wedding, which involved someone hearing me mention something about wrestling and so she told me how she'd briefly dated Duke "The Dumpster" Droese and wanted to confirm that he once wrestled the Undertaker as a trash man, because she assumed that was him making poo poo up.

I am looking it up now and there is no record of him wrestling the Undertaker, but in the moment all I could say is that he definitely wrestled in the same company, and his gimmick was in fact a garbageman.

Sure, he almost certainly never wrestled Taker, but he wrestled both Bastion Booger and Mantaur which is basically the same thing.

He also had a 9 match win streak over Triple H, albeit all on house shows.
