Vince is scum but that weekly TV show where it was just him and The Brain trading insults and watching promos was some funny poo poo.

I grew up watching NWA/WCW as well as the USWA or whatever the Memphis territory was called. It was run by Jerry Jarrett who is the father of Jeff Jarrett. Its also where Andy Kaufman had his legendary feud with Jerry Lawler. This channel has tons of old footage and, last time I checked, nearly every weekly installment of the Kaufman/Lawler story. https://www.youtube.com/user/popculturestu There's also a documentary called I'm From Hollywood which also includes some highlights.

Trump started this feud because Rosie said something on The View about how he's a horrible business man and a joke, which anyone from NYC knows. This was at the height of his realty show popularity and also when he started his Twitter addiction.

I grew up in Kentucky which meant every Saturday at Noon was CWA out of Memphis on channel 3. This is the same territory were Jerry Lawler had his famous feud with Andy Kaufman as show in the 1989 documentary, I'm From Hollywood. This YouTube channel has nearly the entire weekly saga if you care to watch . https://www.youtube.com/user/popculturestu In addition to Lawler, you had Bill Dundee, Austin Idol, Tommy Wildfire Rich, Nick Bockwinkel, Jimmy Hart, even Harvey Wippleman as Downtown Bruno. This is also where Jeff Jarrett debuted. They did a house show every Tuesday at Louisville Gardens and it the crowds were always just insane and the cards always delivered. Just curious if any of you historians have anything to add about this. Oh and we had Cornette around too back then. Some of y'all might get a kick out of his look here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMeeUhQ2NUg

BiggerBoat posted:I watched this a couple weeks ago. I'd seen some of this but not the entire saga and never realized how long it actually went on. God drat, Kaufman could really get those people hating his guts. I was part of those crowds a few times and yes, it was insane. Keep in mind this was when people thought wrestling was real. Lawler going to the WWF was really strange at first because of his change of character. I also recall Virgil wrestling as Soul Train Jones and was getting a huge push and then just disappeared one week. Then he started showing up on WWF as Virgil and I never saw him wrestle again.

BiggerBoat posted:Oh, you don't have to tell me. Even in the Philadelphia area where I grew up there were a lot of people that thought the same thing. Especially 10 and 12 year old kids that watched all this poo poo since we only had like 5 channels to watch and wrestling was on all the time, especially during the weekends after Saturday morning cartoons. In Dover, Delaware when is stayed with my grandmom sometimes it was NASCAR races, soap operas, game shows, some church poo poo and a LOT of wrestlin. The difference seemed to me that, for the most part, most of the people that didn't know it was fake were literally children but I'm not so sure about the deep south. In my experience, wrestling was like religion in the deep south. CWA matches were always featured on the sports section of the local 6:00 news. Jerry Lawler could do not wrong in Memphis and was almost as big as Elvis. Anytime he'd drop the strap off his shoulder crowds would just roar. We never watched WWF because the Saturday morning show they had was kinda boring and you had the occasional Saturday Night's Main Event but it would be all promos and then go off air right as the match was about to end, making it a cliffhanger so you'd have to watch their next show. Most towns got TBS as well so there was WCW and occasionally NWA. Wrestlemania 3 is the time when we all got interested due to the Hogan and Andre match. I do recall that WWF was the only company that entered the home video market so we became bigger fans as we watched those over and over. Maybe there were others but WWF had the most and put them out regularly.

Lawler is certainly not the worst when you look at all the other poo poo that's happened. Like, I'm pretty sure he never killed anyone or covered up a murder. In 1993 he was indicted in Louisville, KY on charges of statutory rape and sodomy of a 15-year old girl. Charges were dropped after the girl claimed nothing happened. His books also details his married to Stacey Carter and how he basically stalked her when she tried to leave him. She was 19 when they met and (he would have been in his 50s) and he was also married at the time. He may not drink or take drugs but women are definitely his vice. He's a typical, "I can sleep with whoever I want but my wife must remain faithful to me" types. YeahTubaMike posted:Truly a shame about his son It is. I know Lawler filed a wrongful death suit but I never heard anything else on it.

My (then) father-in-law invited me to stay and watch as he had bought the PPV for that night. He never said a word the entire broadcast until that moment and let out a very subdued "God..drat" and tuned his head. It was very awkward to say the least.

I was a regular listener of both the Howard Stern and Bubba the Love Sponge shows on SirusXM from 06-08. Bubba would have Hogan on for at least an hour a day while he rambled about his divorce from Linda. IIRC, over the years they basically made it clear and Hogan's reality show was a total farce in how his marriage was portrayed and the show was mainly to promote his daughter's album. Just curious if anyone has more info on that or what. I know Hogan is way up there as far as rank but I'm shocked no one has every brought any of this stuff up when cutting a promo or just in general.

https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/22/politics/political-tensions-wrestling/index.html Either this is really good Kayfabe or someone is actually going to get killed. Isn't how wrestling is performed common knowledge these days? Even if you suspend disbelief you know its not real. edit: I know angles and shoots like this are common in wrestling history, but there's so much more we know now.
