Was reminded of one more working the boys example came to mind this morning when Brody told the story on TiJ: When Enzo and Cass were in the crowd for G-1 Supercard we knew New Japan didn't know anything about the angle. It turns out the guys in the match had no idea as Brody King was a little pissed that they busted their rear end in that match and it got overshadowed by that, and they had no clue it was going to happen, or what exactly had happened.

IIRC Kidani brought back Shibata without telling the locker room first, so modern New Japan definitely isn't immune to working the boys.

I keep thinking that part was more played up for the papers in the return than working the boys as I doubt most of the talent really hated Shibata leaving cause Inokism

Do wrestlers like Warrior, Demolition, Goldust, etc apply their facepaint themselves? Or are there makeup artists in the back that do it? I ask because some of them are pretty intricate and continue down their necks, etc.

Seems probable they all did tho' WWE has an actual makeup department now but I think that it is for normal TV makeup

Somehow I can't imagine Warrior patiently applying makeup to his face in a mirror. Then again, I can't imagine him patiently allowing anyone else to do it either. Maybe he just wakes up that way. Or used to.

Warrior dropped food coloring into his piles of coke and then rubbed his face in them, that's how he did it.

I don't have any real sources on it but I, with my powerful & smart brain, think that it's probably a practical thing to know how to do it yourself. Like, if you're travelling from show to show, can you rely on someone being there to apply the face paint for you, especially when it's not a big time operation with makeup artists? Probably not even if it's your tag partner, so best to just learn how to do it yourself. Also - I'm guessing it'd be a sort of a point of pride to know how to do it yourself. I remember seeing a video of Sting talking about how applying his own face paint is how he gets into character.

Warrior, Demolition, Sting, et al did/do all their own face paint. Road Warriors too, though Hawk wasn't as creative with his as Animal was, which it why he only had two major looks.

Is Adam Cole's stutter a deliberate character quirk or an actual vocal tic? I started noticing it a while ago in his promos whenever he starts a sentence with "A-And".

I saw a video once of Warhorse doing his own paint, but it looked like he was using craft paint instead of those fancy markers that Rosa uses or whatever that was that Dustin did. Personally, I think it'd probably be a lot faster and easier to take an airbrush rig and make some stencils and do it in a couple of passes.

Sounds like a lot of work, they should just get signed by a major promotion and extend the paint gimmick over most of their upper body so the company brings in an artist to do it for them, like Finn Balor does.

If at all possible move from a country where you got to rip off copyrighted characters to a litigation-averse company that will replace Venom with a hat covered in belts

I just went to a seminar with him this past weekend. He seems to really like coaching and teaching. I didn't get a chance to talk to him very much but the seminar was great and I learned a ton even just as a commentator. He may be just doing freelance seminars and podcast right now. Wouldn't surprise me if he was doing some training on the DL for someone and making some extra money. The guy has a really positive outlook, is a great teacher, and is super patient, nice, and understanding of beginners.

Inspired by people freaking out by the actor from Karate Kid/Cobra Kai quoting his famous movie lines to Britt Baker like a LARP Cameo in the Bad Takes thread: What fictional characters from television and film have (kayfabe) crossed over into US wrestling promotions? I'm mostly curious about US promotions, because I feel like the whole Tiger Mask/Leatherface/Los Tortugas/Los Thundercats/"what is Intellectual Property Law?" thing in Mexico and Japan is a whole separate conversation. For instance Louie Spicoli/Madonna's Boyfriend wouldn't count for what I'm thinking of, but a young Sean Penn (appearing either as a stoner named Sean, or as "Jeff Spicoli" on an old WCCW show would. Fictional Characters who Crossed Over As Themselves into Wrestling Shows - Arli$$, the agent from Arli$$ scouting wrestlers on WCW Nitro - Chucky, the evil doll, menacing Rick Steiner and later the cast of NXT - Robocop being friends with Sting - The apes from the 2000 Planet of the Apes helping Chris Jericho make misogynistic jokes about Stephanie McMahon - MacGruber blows up R-Truth during the Guest Host era of Raw - The guys from that Farrely Brothers Three Stooges movie guest host Raw, as The Three Stooges - Adam West appears as Batman in Memphis Actors who played themselves with a nod towards "I am the star of this television show/film!" - Guy from Karate Kid quotes his popular movie lines to Britt Baker on Dynamite this week - Mister T gets into a boxing match with Roddy Piper after playing a boxer in Rocky III - Part of the cast of the A-Team movie appears on Guest Host Era Raw and wrestler keep insisting Rampage Jackson is BA Barracus and Sharlito Copley is Murdock, but the announcer point out they are actors "acting like their character from the movie!" - Taimak appeared on at least one ROH show channeling Bruce Leeroy from the Last Dragon Edge Cases - Leslie Nielsen and George Kennedy embodying the spirit of their Police Squad/Naked Gun characters to bumble through a search for the Undertaker, they're never named by their shoot names or their gimmick character names - The Muppets appear as the Muppets on Raw - Pee-wee Herman guest-hosts Raw in-character - Elvira guest commentates at Wrestlemania II in-character I came up with more examples of the first category than I expected after thinking about it. My initial response to a friend was "it's Robocop, Chucky, Arliss, and that's it"

i can't stop thinking about when arli$$ saw macho man pull up kidman's shoulders from a 3 count by the hair in order to dish out more punishment, and arli$$ excitedly exclaimed how resilient kidman was for kicking out. wcw made me more embarrassed as an adolescent than anything embarrassing i would feel about myself, which was quite a lot during those times. that's how it is for everyone in the world.
