'Real American' but a requiem. Jim Johnston, you've done it again! Unrelated I really did not appreciate Quake at the time but I'm glad I do now.

Karma Tornado posted:barely disguised authorial fetishes? overexplaining basic concepts while completely forgetting about ongoing plot threads? characters whose entire thing is just "I'm not from around here, and boy howdy do I have some kind of accent"? the only way the WWE could be closer to to Claremont X-Men is if they introduced a bird themed space empress who wanted to bone Vince don't dox Becky's comeback after she has her kid.

HidaO-Win posted:The Main Event Sleeper, you’ll wake up on heat. Triple H being the least secure main eventer in history has had long term consequences in terms of only a tiny list of people being allowed to get over. Look at the desolation of the early 2000s. The dearth of main event wrestlers is still being felt today. Imagine your hero being 16-time world champion Ric Flair and not realizing he only won about 16 matches.

Davros1 posted:The story is it was the middle of the night at a hotel, and Dave and a friend saw the JYD getting a bunch of junk food from a vending machine because nothing was open, and Dave's friend said "It's the Junk Food Dog!" and they all had a laugh about it. I genuinely appreciate that clarification. I'd always thought Dave was just kind of being a jerk about the Dog.

Wazzu posted:WWE's idea for a very long time has been to spend no money and reap profits and never think that nickel and diming will lead to consequences. They are currently experiencing record profits I guess it's easy when all you need to do is make Content and not really worry about if it's good or not.

It's always interesting to hear people talk about their training school experiences. Foley learned a lot from Dominic DeNucci. Jericho learned from whomever the Not Actually The Hart Brothers got to train people at their school, also guided by Stu Hart's notes. According to HHH (in Chyna's book), Killer Kowalski mostly slept in his office and everybody learned things via osmosis. I wonder what it was like for people who went to, say, the Wild Samoans or Harley's schools.

RealFoxy posted:Since they've named an award after him I'm guessing they're going to whitewash everything other than "He sabotaged himself" so that people don't dig up the gross poo poo he was saying before he died and connect the dots to the Warrior Award. Probably not even the more mundane but over the top stuff like forcing WWF to buy a bunch of his comic.

TheKingslayer posted:Didn't Crockett Jr. and Dusty piss away a bunch of money and goodwill that lead to the sale? Seems like it would make sense to keep him far away from anything important. As an example I believe at one point Dusty insisted they have "a Dallas office" despite never running shows there because at the time WCCW still had it locked up.

MassRafTer posted:Uno and Stu are were on Wednesday's Talk is Jericho and Jericho knowing basically nothing about their career makes it a great interview as they go into detail on a lot of stuff I'd only heard half the story on. Also more talk about the legendary AEW Street Hockey game. Do they happen to talk why they got stopped being being booked in Chikara? They were there and they were over, but knowing about it now I figure Quackenbush stopped booking them so everybody could make fun of their gear or something.

oldskool posted:didn't Cornette have a whole thing about this like 20 years ago about....a Basham brother? getting called up from OVW & having his head shaved, saying "look if you want him to shave his head, that's fine, but give me a month's heads up and I'll book him to lose a hair match and draw you some fuckin' money with it" I think it was somebody came to TV with their head shaved because WWE wanted it and Corny read them that riot act about how he could book around it if they'd let him know beforehand.
