Have we discussed the fact that Stan Lane's incestuous sexual relationship with his cousin produced Colorado Representative sex-offender-marrying brain genius Lauren Boebert?

I'd say from what I saw that Cornette was portrayed pretty sympathetically in Dark Side, in the sense where he largely dropped the shtick and was just "I've seen too many people I cared about crippled or dead from this business to see some smug jackass come in and book a match where you win by force-feeding your opponent viagra" But yeah, Cornette has big Chevy Chase energy - he was always pretty abrasive, and most of his job for several decades involved intentionally being abrasive for comedy purposes (which is what I think Cornette is doing most of the time, rather than genuinely wishing for people to get rear end cancer), but now he's also gotten old and crochety and doesn't really get the stuff the kids are doing nowadays. When he's on his game, he's really good, and something like him picking an episode of RAW apart is a masterclass, but you can pretty much be a crass prima donna or you can be a nostalgia act telling jokes that were borderline in the 80s, you can't get away with both.

Dark Side of the Ring season 4 ideas: The sick depraved kinks of Vincent K McMahon (3 parter) The life and times of the Gobbledy Gooker Just what was in ICOPRO? Who is Lauren Boebert's father? (shocking DNA test shows it is not Stan Lane but Jimmy Del Ray)

Imagine watching someone do that and thinking to yourself "that's the man I want to marry". I thought I'd dislike Melanie Pillman a lot more than I actually did. I mean she obviously has a lot to answer for, but grief and addiction can really gently caress people up.

I did cocaine and nearly tried to jump on a moving train. I'm glad I was never given anything I perceived as a weapon. I'm not surprised New Jack stabbed more than one person while wrestling. Also he kept drugs on his person to do while wrestling. RIP to a real one

Mulaney Power Move posted:His drink of choice at the bar was a double gin and tonic and two heinekens There was a DVD that came out like 12-13 years ago, called "101 Reasons NOT to be a Pro Wrestler" that was just a bunch of shoot interviews and people talking poo poo. One of the highlights of it was an extended interview with New Jack, I think at a bar somewhere in Los Angeles. Dude was drinking out of two goblet-sized glasses during the whole interview; one was full of Heineken and the other was full of Long Island Iced Tea. Also this video has one of my favorite New Jack stories in it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlc2dVRiUYM It's where he starts talking about the Rock 'n' Roll Express and how they helped get him started in the business in Smoky Mountain Wrestling, with a story about one RnR/Gangstas match where a fan shouted the N-word at him one too many times and how he just snapped (and it doesn't end the way you probably think it might). In addition to being a great promo, dude was a hell of a raconteur. RIP.

One of my favorite New Jack moments is this time he was doing a shoot interview with the Iron Sheik and the Honky Tonk Man. This was shortly after the Benoit murders. Sheik was crying and was going on this screaming, emotional rant. All the while, New Jack was sitting still and looking to the side, quietly and intensely getting his thoughts together. Sheik was trying to convey the idea that Benoit killing his son was the most disturbing and horrifying part of the whole incident. Sheik being Sheik, said this by yelling, "I DON'T EVEN CARE THAT YOU KILLED NANCY BENOIT!" And off to the side, you see New Jack suddenly flinch out of his stupor, like he was wondering WTF.

haha just caught that on youtube, Sheik and especially Honky Tonk Man are fully on a "well Nancy probably deserved it in some way" line and New Jack sits up like "motherfucker turns out I'm the sanest person in this room and I'm New Jack" Honky literally interrupts him with "we don't know what buttons she pushed"

I haven't seen that interview in a while, but I seem to remember HTM saying something like "kill your wife, fine, we've all wanted to do that at some point, but don't kill the kid" and then New Jack basically saying "I knew Nancy and she was my friend" in a very serious tone, and HTM sort of realizing that him and Sheik had crossed the line.
