how many people out of 100 do you think are the guy who would say they were trying to do this or that to help a person who died a long time ago because the deceased can't call that person out on lying? I done it once but i was Telling the truth, which makes it more difficult to figure out the right stats

It's probably because I lost my dad four years ago, but hearing Dave talk about the girls talking about saying goodbye to daddy through tears just KILLED me.

Benne posted:The only time I've seen Melanie was that weird interview on Raw and I know that was 23 years ago but she ... hasn't aged well I mean, she's 56? And she did have a drug problem for a while. For 56, she really doesn't look all that bad and I don't understand why goons are freaking out about her.

It's the drug stuff. She looks like one of my mom's friends who got into meth when I was a kid that i watched deteriorate in real time until my mom finally cut her completely off. If you aren't familiar with those effects they can be shocking. And the show plays up the contrast specifically by showing a bunch of her glamour photos right before cutting to her now. People are having the intended reaction.

between her mannerisms and the state of her skin it seems to me likely that she's still on or just recently get off meth. for as striking as the physical effects of meth can be, they can be reversed somewhat by being off it for an extended period and having your skin heal naturally or through treatment. my best friends mom was 50-something when she got clean for an extended period after her girlfriend died and looked like she lost 10 years of age after a few years of treatment and taking care of her skin.

where did you guys find Kim? was he a known person of interest before this? episode 1 (all I've seen) makes him seem like a longtime Dave Meltzer source.

A lot of people who get cosmetic surgery don't understand they still have to put in effort to keep up appearances afterward. I deleted the second sentence and this is the sentence that currently exists because I don't need goons trying to cancel me.

This is such a downer of an episode, but holy poo poo, seeing Brian's sister become the mom to those kids was so goddamn uplifting. Also, it's a miracle that Brian Jr. seems like a normal person. I hope he becomes a huge star in AEW.

Man I gotta watch the Kanyon episode even though it's gonna make me cry, dude was so good in the ring. For the Nick Gage one I wonder if they're gonna include the promo he tried to cut while he was bleeding out just before he died.

He doesn't seem hard to track down, but that was Howard's job, not mine. Did you guys try to ask about Lexi Pillman at all?

Part two was "better" than the first, it seemed much more focused even if it didn't go any further into Pillman's apparent own shittiness. I had never seen that Raw interview with Melanie until one of the NY64 tournaments here a few years ago and it really is very gross. Like, regardless of how you or I think of her now, it might actually be the most disgusting WWE segment of all time, at least top three. Which takes some beating!

I did wonder about the other two kids, since they mentioned five kids but only interviewed three, but figured it was a matter of time management and/or they declined to interview for this.

I would've been curious about him reconnecting with the Harts in the WWF, or his past with Terri Runnels, but understandable. I'm also curious about how many benefit shows were run for his family, and how much money Melanie blew through instead of supporting her kids.

Ok, so Bischoff claims he let Pillman go to build his profile so Bischoff could actually pay Pillman what he wanted on the return. But if Bischoff has the control over signing people I thought he did couldn't he have just paid Pillman the money anyway if he really wanted to?

I guess I really wanted to know just how good a lie that really was. I mean, poo poo, if I were Bischoff I'd say he got one over on me even if he didn't because it's a good story. Then again if Bischoff could tell a good story WCW might still be around.

The bit about telling Bischoff it had to be a real firing because otherwise Meltzer would report it was fake and the jig was up was pretty funny

It's not even that Bischoff refuses to accept he was conned, in his version of the story he can't even just be a guy doing business as usual without a con being involved... he has to claim he was somehow actually the REAL instigator of the con and the true mastermind etc. It's just so pathetic, just accept you got conned! It's okay! People get conned, hell this one would make for a fantastic story and the guy is long dead so it's not like you're letting him get one over on you! "Holy poo poo I couldn't believe it when I realized what they'd pulled off, you have to admire the balls of the move!" etc.

There's very little good stuff in 83 Weeks. It's either Bischoff saying he can't remember, or him ranting about Meltzer.
