lollllllllllllllll Key

only lasts a few weeks in WWF and then goes back to ECW where he and New Jack have their infamous botched balcony fall in my hometown of Danbury, CT

Holy shit :lol:

I remember that guy.

Just watched the Dark Side of the Ring Macho Man one. Felt it was very rushed. Watching the Brody one. I wish these were 2 hours instead of 45 minutes.

I am of the opinion that that spot was worse than New Jack’s retaliation where he actually tried to murder Grimes.

New Jack likes to tell stories. He didn't actually do that. Grimes outshot his landing.

I have such an odd opinion about New Jack. He seems like such a giant piece of shit in the ring but in every interview he is so charming and engaging.

He's alot of bravado, but a captivating interview

Holy shit was the Brody Dark Side of the Ring good

Yeah, loved that episode. Was it known that Brody was looking to buy Gorilla Monsoon's stake in the WWC?

That's the first I've heard of it.

Yeah, I've never heard anyone talk about it.

I've heard that Victor Quinones is Gorilla Monsoon's illegitimate son

I need to quit my job and just watch wrestling full time. This is more enjoyable. Lol watched a lot of wrestling during my vacation so far.

I'd actually forgot they had broached this on the Gorilla episode of Prichard's podcast. Of course, Bruce denied it. But when you look at Victor, you can see the resemblance.

Melodramatic as it seems, you’d think there would be a lot more bastard children in wrestling.

Gino Hernandez was rumored to be Paul Boesch's son

That's probably the most famous one. Where do you lean on that one?

I believe the Gorilla/Victor one way more than Paul and Gino. I don't think it's true

The Gorilla/Quinones one is speculated upon in the affirmative by numerous wrestling biographers. I always consider it true if at least three guys I like mention it in a similar way in their bio's. Unless it's a Wrestlemania 3 or Haku story... Everybody and their mother was there for Wrestlemania 3 and every Haku bar fight.

Paul who?

I googled but other forums are very awful.
I can only assume Hernandez but any Paul I can think of was born in the forties or later so they'd have to be like 15 to father the guy.

Gertner, who got over with you that reasonably had no right to?

Stevie Richards and Crash Holly for me. Two smaller, less muscular guys who knew how to wring every drop out of their shitty gimmicks.

I really loved seeing those two.

Paul Bosch

I know what my favourite territory is now. Took a few weeks and a real Network subscription but it's Mid South.

Mid South in 1980's was great. Realism, athleticism... a jobber intro to Michael Jackson...

AWA was fun but poor quality as Gertner warned, Memphis was dumb fun with no shortage of gimmicks and I couldn't get past the shortage of cool in WCCW... I tried others a few times including Georgia but my preference is Bill Watts.

Ban Noid

I bet Gertner can name the jobber that intro'd to MJ too. Seems like the sort of thing he'd know. I won't spoil it but he was black so he probably ended up with a title.

Probably Heath Slater. I thought he was the absolute shits until he started doing the Legend challenge thing for the 1000th Raw. Then I became his biggest fan.

It wasn't Michael Saxon was it? That's the only guy I can think of.

Made me think of Ole when you said "the shits".

Mike Ragin?

Ragin was definitely his last name.

Ohhh ok , I know him more as Mark Ragen. He was a protege of the Destroyer Dick Beyer. He got Ragen shots in places that he had no business wrestling.

Yeah he was really bad but his intro was cool and he even tried to dance a bit. They changed him from Thriller to Beat It or Billie Jean when he entered the ring so he had walk down and in-ring music consecutively. No reason why other than to remind people he was black I guess.

Caught up on all the Dark Sides of the Ring
The Brody one is hands down the best, but like I said before, these need to be longer than 45 minutes. They all feel so rushed.

Is the Montreal one worth watching for someone who has seen all the previous pieces on it, heard every shoot interview from every side imaginable and basically seen the topic discussed ad nauseam?

If you have listened to Cornette's last two podcasts, then no. If you haven't, it's worth checking out

I agree with Gert. But also, Bruce Prichard and Scott Hall make it pretty dumb. I like Scott, but he's a total knobhead throughout. Part of it to do with him hating Bret, I think.

Bruce is Bruce, but Hall is a complete moron.

I watched the Montreal one and didn’t think it was anything special. It was all stuff I had heard and seen before.

But lol at Scott Hall claiming he never asked Shawn if it was a work. Get outta here.

it's ironic that in trying so desperately to be the smartest guy in the room that Hall comes off as so stupid.

Watching Dark Side Of Wrestling because you guys never steer me wrong.

The Bruiser Brody thing... if you asked me what happened I could give you a good run down before I saw this show but I'm surprised how much worse it sounds coming from Tony and Dutch... It's the finer details that make you sick to your stomach hearing this shit.

Cold blooded murder...

Abdullah just making shit up for no reason...
