Well that's my story.
JJ's legal acumen has really improved since Jericho kept finding all those loopholes in the WCW Rulebook.

Kudos to Malenko for trying out that second rope gutbuster thing, but to me it looks exceptionally awkward.

The way he holds his knee out makes it look like he didn't account for how far forward the other guy would go, and is all like "oh bugger." I bet it sucked for both of them too.

We all love to make I SAID DID YOU FORGET YOUR SCISSORS jokes, but an underrated part of that segment is one of the commentators (Madden?) going "WOW!!!" as if it was the most cutting burn in the history of mankind.

The reaction from the crowd is also great because like 98% of them don't get it and the rest mostly don't care.

You are welcome in their holy places.
So, the thing that happened is, Sid like tried to kill someone with a pair of scissors, right? But how is that a burn, or even out of character or noteworthy? He's Psycho Sid, of course he tried to murder someone with scissors, why wouldn't he? What kind of burn is that?

Sid got into a fight with Arn Anderson at a hotel. The report I read said both guys had weapons, Arn stabbed Sid with scissors first, then Sid managed to take them away and stabbed Arn with them. Both guys ended up in the hospital but Arn's left arm had permanent tendon/ligament damage which is why if you've seen Arn since then he hasn't had full use of his left arm. Sid basically ended Arn's career and I don't even remember what the original verbal argument was about.

No, what ended Arn's career was the spinal fusion. That said you can read a recounting of the event here from Sid, Vader and 2 Cold Scorpio.

As I recall the story, he was literally just some IT dude in California, got a concussion, and was like "nah, i'm good."

Oozing machismo
Blitzkrieg has had a few jobs, but yeah he initially left wrestling to be an IT guy.

But in 2011 we find this: https://news.utexas.edu/2011/05/19/class-of-2011-ringside-to-bedside/

quote:

If words like smack down, hiplock, mule kick, lateral toss, arm chop and front head shuck have been part of your profession’s vocabulary, it’s safe to say deciding to become a nurse is going in a different direction. Needing a nurse, not that big a stretch.

But Jay Ross, a member of the former World Championship Wrestling (WCW) organization who went by “Blitzkrieg” or “Fabulous Blitzkrieg,” sees no problems in the transition ahead.

Ross, 34, is graduating from the School of Nursing in May.

On his road to becoming a nurse, Ross also was an acrobat, a massage therapist, a yoga instructor, a roofer and a journeyman building reservoirs and excavating dams in Southern California. He advocated for several causes, including “Food Not Bombs” and “Homes Not Jails. ” For several months, Ross participated in a Mojave Desert sit-in that eventually stopped a proposal to make part of the area a nuclear waste dump.

If Ross had stayed with the WCW, he would have probably been a millionaire by age 30.

His injuries, however, were numerous one of the reasons he stopped. He remembers, for example, doing a “skytwisting spring board moonsault” (a back flip off the ropes onto his opponent) at a show in Japan. Instead of his opponent properly catching him Ross landed head first onto concrete and ended up in the hospital with a concussion.

I love the B&V retro reviews when Bryan gets really into random cool things like Haku.

In currently up to the part where Bryan is OBSESSED with the Macho Man / Dennis Rodman build and feud.

I enjoyed Vinny’s love of horrible sloppy brawls and bizarre styles clashes that would get on Nitro. Something like idk Sid vs Jim Duggan would get him so excited

He loved him some Tank Abbott. I think it was Tank vs. Sid he praised to high heaven for minutes, talking about what an unforgettable battle it was, and then Bryan was like "Now let me tell you what really happened. It sucked."

Speaking of Duggan though, given they rag on him at every opportunity, I loved how much they got behind him for his one night feud/match with Heel Goldberg.
