One time a guy stole some downhill skis out of my jeep and I was so mad I punched a mailbox. I'm against crime, and I'm not ashamed to admit it.

The extra "D" there might have had to do with the fact that they weren't the only "Bad Company" tag team in wrestling at the time ...

Why would you punish for something objectively good? Fishnets in all areas of life should be celebrated.

Not too familiar with Orange Cassidy before AEW but did his gimmick start off as Paul Rudd's character from Wet Hot American Summer as a pro wrestler?

Originally the OC gimmick was that he was hungover all the time and barely functional because of it, and over time it morphed to him being either incredibly lazy/unwilling to do anything or a trickster god who frustrated people into making mistakes.

He was Kendall Windham skinny, really liked to drink, and then went to the WWF where they made him a jobber.

Also applies to everyone post 2015 or whenever they lost their PPV bonus' because of the network and they told them to stfu and fired some of em (Punk?) for asking hey where our 9.99 MITB's

John Cena vs. Daniel Bryan at SummerSlam 2013, probably? It was worked very similarly to the Bryan-KENTA ROH Tile match from ~8 years earlier.

Why did WWF rehire Tenta only to put him under a hood as Golga? Was Vince still pissed that he left back in '94?

Oh, I'm sure they were Russo, it just seems weird to specifically hire Tenta who probably wasn't cheap only to put him in a lovely mask and have him molest a stuffed Cartman for a few months.

I believe that they gave him the Golga gimmick because they needed him to mentor Kurrgan and Silva.

I was disappointed when I still had the Network and realized they cut their entire entrance from the '98 Summerslam. Not that I'm an ICP fan, it's just that those ten minutes were such a perfect example of what 1998 was like in general.

What I've always heard is that Tenta lost so much weight that Vince assumed no one would recognize him anyway so might as well make a new character.

golga was rehired by jim ross of talent relations all on his own, owing that bold move to tenta's history with the company. for different reasons, neither vince knew it was earthquake to begin with. That's something a liar would say

I feel like even as a kid, I knew Golga was Earthquake/Tenta. Was it ever referenced on commentary? I was on the internet and maybe still RSPW if it was still around then, so maybe I just knew it from that + other newz sites of the time but it didn't feel like a well-kept secret.

jerry lawler had a bit where he kept saying "i don't know who brian christopher is but i think golga is earthquake" and jr was good at pretending it annoyed him or maybe it really did annoy him. another example of a big lie. if you'll excuse me i need to go have a "big lie" down so that i'll stop acting this way and avoid being banned on my fave site.
