Just goes to show how much wwe's "independent contractor" spiel is utter bullshit. He was there on his own time yet gets fired for it, apparently when you're signed to wwe even your own time is theirs. :nono: |
Watching some more 80's NWA and found this gem

Undertaker is so relaxed in this interview it's funny, makes the one he did out of character with Landsberg back around 2002 seem in character. Think he has a contest with Steiner to see who can say "y'know" the most times during an interview. |
According to the Observer, WWE is currently interested in signing Hangman Page and have recently sent him an offer but he turned it down for the time being.

Also another recent rumor going around the net teases at WWE preparing another major raid of the indies with the goal to have it done by January. Goal would be to wreck ROH and other indies plans for next year's series of Mania weekend shows. |

Cody Rhodes is kind of the figurehead of the indy lifestyle right now. For him to go back too soon would kind of piss that away a bit. He's better off working in New Japan, hopefully putting something in place that isn't there. That extra gear that gets thing to a main event level. He can take guys "under his wing" (kayfabe) and put them into position where other indy guys leave and go "north" (if that's still an expression you can use). The interesting two parties are Kenny Omega and The Young Bucks. With Omega, he's cache is probably at the highest now. If he bails out before the Garden show, then Vince is going to go ga-ga for him. They won't push him "mega-hard" right away, because they don't want to blow up their structure and reward guys working opposite them, but if he "turns coat" (even if it's just him taking a job when his contract expires), I can see him being in a great position for climbing. More of an initial Kevin Owens position and less of a Neville position, if that makes sense. I could see Vince actually doing the Styles vs. Omega match at Mania if Omega signs. But if he does another year, works the Garden and whatever else, by the time he gets to his contract expiring, he runs the risk of being a guy who was hot a year ago, two years ago, etc. The Young Bucks are at a stage where they could get cache by signing now too. I think they have more to lose, in the sense that they have gotten themselves over as "other," so if they jump, they instantly lose that appeal. But Young Bucks fans are surely not the brightest sparks, so you can easily return to the indies after flopping and say "We were too hot for mainstream!" and they will piss their pants. So in a weird sort of way, the time might be right for them now. They've still got The New Day together, they've got a potential retirement match against The Hardys. If they wait too long, the anticipation might crush them when they are just another team coming in. For the record: I don't think any of them sign. I don't think they're as smart as people think, but I think it will have more to do with loyalty to this ethos they have created. But if I were in their shoes, and I'm a dude who was really hoping Bryan would leave WWE, I think they should give the timing right now a good hard think. |

Story 1: He tells a story of him going to see how the WWE did their recording and generally how everything worked before he officially joined the company and then later going to the gym with Vince. After the gym, he says he was having dinner with Vince and Pat Patterson was also there. Vince leaves the table to go to the bathroom and Patterson leans over to Sid and says "What an ass on that guy!". He then says "I heard you guys had a really good work out today, Sid!" and Sid replies with "Yeah Pat, it was just a work out". He continues by saying that this happened in Canada and that night there was a lightning storm and when they arrived at the hotel, Patterson asked Sid "Do you want to come to my balcony and watch the lightning tonight?" and Sid declined but Patterson then grabbed Sid and shouted "I've got the big somebitch in a waistlock!". Sid then freaks out and without any knowledge of chain wrestling, he quickly wrestles out of Patterson's grip and says that he's going to his room. Sid then says that he was really scared that night. Later that night Sid convinced himself (probably because he was so scared) that Patterson kept walking by his room. Story 2: He mentions another time when they were overseas and when he saw a group of little boys outside the hotel and he asks The Warlord what they're doing there and The Warlord tells him that Mel Phillips was getting them tickets and that later he (Mel) was going to take them to his hotel room and play with their feet. Story 3: He says that he, Kerry Von Erich and Paul Diamond arrived at the arena an hour early as they left Boston early to beat the traffic and when Sid walked into the locker room, he saw Terry Garvin with a young jobber and he noticed that both of their clothes were all ruffled, he then thinks the worst but does say anything. Instead he just sits down and doesn't look at them. Sid then says (and I'm assuming Terry Garvin has gone at that point) that the jobber said to him "Hey man, I don't wanna do this, I just want to be a wrestler, I just want to go home to my girlfriend, I don't have nothing to do with this". Sid then tells the guy that he isn't trying to be a jerk to him but that he isn't going to be successful in this business and that he should just go and never come back and the jobber did just that. |
Patterson had a habit of fucking with peoples homophobic insecurities.

Can we take a moment to appreciate what a premium gimmick Simon Dean was?
I will always remember him making fat people in the front rows cry. I think a gimmick like that could go over great today. Almost as if Simon Dean was ahead of his time. I think a hipster/vegan or keto version of Simon Dean would be great today. |
I also enjoyed Simon Dean. Definitely called the number for the Simon System before.

Simon Dean was great.
It was a fun gimmick that didn't take itself too serious but it also wasn't cringeworthy like it could have been. It was genuinely an entertaining gimmick. Whenever his music hit it would make me smile and knew that I was about to be entertained in some way or another. |
Speaking of which, his theme was (as the kids today would say) dope.
