Punk and some other Indy guys decided to quote every part of Steinermania at a famous Japanese wrestler they were working with who didn't really know English. Punk's part was to walk right up to him and go "YOU GONNA SUCK MY DICK OR WHAT?!'

Ray "Big Boss Man" Traylor hit the ropes half a second before him, stretched them, Akeem/I don't know his real name off the top of my head came in a touch too low and he slipped through the slightly wider gap.

In other wrestling news, it seems that The Guy Nobody Likes But Vince, one of the great hidden cancers of wrestling according to most everyone, Kevin Dunn, has finally left WWE. Though as one of his biggest detractors, Jim Cornette said, it wasn't like he finally got run out on a rail. He's 68 and he's retired rich from all the money owning WWE stock got him. Still, in this business, you take what you can get, and Dunn leaving is also a strong sign that Vince might well have fully screwed himself out of top dog power in his new company just like Ted Turner got reduced to middle management when AOL merged with Time Warner.

There's no bigger sign that Vince absolutely carny'ed himself out of power than the fact that Kevin Dunn has left WWE.

And the reason Kevin Dunn leaving means Vince might not have power anymore is that he was guaranteed a job for life by Vince's father because Kevin's father saved a bunch of tapes from a burning car for him.

Although according to Cornette, that story is more urban legend than fact.

And Akeem's real name is George Gray, if you were wondering.

I don't know how many of you have seen the Iron Claw yet, but the Ric Flair performance in that is possibly the worst rendition of a real person that I've ever seen in a movie. Just so comically bad.

In fairness I dunno if anyone could do Ric Flair justice. They shoulda just de-aged him or used stock footage.

I'M HUGE!
I haven't watched a WWE/F thing since like 1990 (my friends got into the WCW/NWO thing in the late 90's so I saw some of that through osmosis), but this thread got me watching the Dark Side of the Ring documentary series, and it's fascinating. So far the big elephant in the room is that Vince McMahon is well-known as a colossal piece of poo poo, and everyone just kind of skirts around saying it, because either they're still on a payroll or have friends who are.

From watching the documentary, I have learned that Jim Cornette doesn't seem to like Vince Russo very much.

The DSotR that happens when Vince is finally far enough out of the picture that Vice and/or the people with the good dirt on him are willing to risk the inevitable retaliation, that... episode? Miniseries? It's going to be legendary.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Vince has been apparently sidelined before and found a way to come back. At this point I think there's people who wouldn't trust him to stay in the grave.

That was his original gimmick, and then he transitioned to "Hunter Hearst-Helmsley", "a Connecticut blueblood". Which was basically the same thing but with a bad English accent. He acted like an 18th century nobleman.

As we can see once again, Vince McMahon only comes up with the best gimmicks.
