A combination of Sinclair taking a massive bath on buying a bunch of regional sports networks right before the pandemic hit and making sure the bid was well over whatever WWE might offer to buy out the tape library on its own.

Who is the tallest person to have a decent match? Is it a tie between Nash and Taker?

I forgot Tall Paul has had some decent matches.MassRafTer posted:Even Khali had a decent match with Cena Which match? If it's even half way passably interesting then there is an argument for John Cena being the greatest wrestler of all time. Khali as far as I could tell from what I remember didn't bump, had like three moves outside of his finish and one being a rest hold, and was as close to immobile as you could be and still be employed by a wrestling company.

My friend got another friend a Cameo from Khali once to apologize for eating his pizza. Khali said “Johnny is very sorry for eating your pizza” and it was great. Five stars. Would Cameo again. In conclusion The Great Khali is good.

Cena bumps his rear end off, Khali even takes a few moves, and the finish is alright. As a match someone paid for it's not good, but if it was a RAW or Smackdown main event it would have been fine and I wouldn't have hated it.

In the context of wrestlers who committed a known murder, Khali's not as good a wrestler as Benoit, Jimmy Snuka or Vince McMahon

Verne Gagne is probably the saddest wrestling killer. Suffering from Alzheimer’s in his 80s, he was in a nursing home and got in a fight with another old man and killed him but had no idea what he did because of dementia.

Harley was a fast driver unless you told him to drive the limit, then he'd do it. But his natural inclination was to drive fast as hell.

Bobby was drunk on the job all the time. And Tony was apparently a dick to him when Bobby wanted to do an on air tribute to Gorilla Monsoon. Although listening to old Nitro commentary, Bobby spends a lot of time trolling Tony, who was actually quite humourless and easy to wind up. So a clash of personalities.

The way Tony tells it he was all for Bobby talking about Gorilla, he simply asked Bobby if he had cleared it with Bisch and Bobby took it the wrong way
