They should have let Ric fall on his own sword long ago and let him deal with the consequences of his actions and choices. Be it bad financial ideas or the drinking he kept up even when everyone knew it was beyond a problem. He's drat lucky he had people to bail his sorry rear end out.

Everyone loved the Ric Flair 30 for 30 then the Vice plane ride from hell documentary came out and everyone was like "Huh, maybe constantly being drunk and waving your cock around in public and on airplanes can be bad."

That Public Enemy/Acolytes match is always so hard to watch. It's just Bradshaw and Farooq just beating the poo poo out of two dudes, for wanting a last minute match finish change. That was just excessive brutality, just because the table guys didn't want to lose at tables. Bradshaw sucks.

GolfHole posted:has anyone ever done a telekinesis gimmick where they have all sorts of crazy professor x powers and can move people with their minds I once saw this big match where three Japanese promotions got together to do a New Year's Eve 108-person Royal Rumble where pinning was allowed. One of the entrants was able to knock his opponents out of the ring via telekinesis. It was a fun match that featured: - A Hulk Hogan blow-up doll as an entrant. - A guy getting eliminated, then finding out one of his next personas was the next entry and washing off his facepaint real quick. - Everyone stopping what they were doing mid-match so everyone could come out as they counted down to the new year. Then when they were done, one guy was running to the back, only to turn back around and enter the match next. In terms of mind-control, Chikara had a long-running plot device artifact called the Eye of Tyr, which had mind-altering abilities. It was mainly used as a way to turn face wrestlers heel for a brief period. This culminated in a storyline where a retired wrestler (confined to a wheelchair) was possessed by it and started going around, mind-controlling wrestlers into being his evil slaves. They were called the HeXed Men and all wore red and black gear. This was eventually undone thanks to Ophidian, a snake-based wrestler with the power of hypnotizing his opponents into dancing. That apparently made him immune and he was able to save the others.

Ho boy. Behind The Bastards is beginning a six part series...on Vince McMahon. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-vince-mcmahon-historys-greatest-115219643/ Based on that choice of title, it's going to be something. I wonder if it will confirm my original story.

Cartoon and comic book logic run rampant in CHIKARA and use concepts that you aren’t likely to find in the mainstream. Time travel, mind-control, amnesia, hypnotism, all-powerful hammers that can only be lifted by the worthy, Egyptian gods, a man with a built-in pause button that actually works, people made out of ice cream, etc.

Of course, promotions had to ban this move due to its intense illegality. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xIYVw3ZPJk

Beer_Suitcase posted:I have this old link I've saved forever just for this purpose Ironically the same list of stuff I posted. Honestly, I think between the concussion issue in pro wrestling and 'you are what you pretend to be', I think Terry Bollea is less a liar and more he can no longer really tell the difference between his recollections, stories, and lies and the actual truth. It all just slushes together in his brain. I mean, hell, look at the last page's examination of Ric Flair's sad state. It's the same thing: Ric Flair utterly consumed Richard Felair and Ric Flair is not a way for a person to live. Same with Ultimate Warrior: the gimmick ate him alive. That's one part of wrestling being 'fake' that the bad faith critics never consider: these men and women are stuck in their roles for longer than any other acting type. I mean yeah, you can point to say, Daniel Day Lewis and his insane method acting, but he only lost himself inside Bill the Butcher or Abraham Lincoln for several months at most, then he got to change roles or be himself if he wanted, and any sane person doesn't expect an actor to be the same as their character all the time (at best you might get them to briefly pull them out, like Giancarlo Esposito occasionally slipping into Gus from Breaking Bad's skin for a few seconds for a selfie bit) But wrestlers have to be 'the gimmick' so much more, and everyone expects them to be that way. And the quote is dead accurate. Be careful who you pretend to be, because you are who you pretend to be. Mixed with human failings, and well...
