Mr. Nerfect 10-17-2023 02:50 PM

I can’t believe I didn’t get the Lita one. I didn’t know the Jeff story, to be fair. I was thinking something about movies because of Mando, but I couldn’t place it. Good stuff. :y:

Mr. Nerfect 10-17-2023 02:50 PM

Thanks for that fun. I’m happy to throw my own there. Love these sort of games lol. But if someone else wants a go, feel free.

Mando is probably the second most prolific wrestler in Hollywood, behind Gene LeBell (who got him into the gig). To the point that, if there is a wrestling scene in a TV show or movie, there is a 98% chance it was choreographed by Mando.

Bad News Gertner 10-17-2023 10:16 PM

I totally did not know about CM Punk and Lita

Bad News Gertner 10-17-2023 10:18 PM

Lol I have heard about El Dandy though

Chavo Jr seems to be getting into that spot now.

I knew about Lita and Punk. I kept thinking of women named “Beth” and when it came to him and Jeff and didn’t pin it down lol.

Bad News Gertner 10-18-2023 09:03 AM

Nor did I know Lita actually hooked up with Jeff

Evil Vito 10-18-2023 09:59 AM

I'm now envisioning the Hardys in full neon gear high fiving each other while they Eiffel Tower Lita. Dammit.
