I'm sure Bob Backlund would be quite proud that a grown man occasionally gets really upset about something he did 25 years ago.

I can't be the only one who he got to.

Lol I've talked to Backlund on facebook a few times. Very cool guy.

Random thing I just heard. WCW in 2000 was heavily rumored to be bringing in Don Frye, Mark Coleman, Mark Kerr and align them with Rick Steiner and Tank Abbott and call the group "The Knockout Club"

I enjoyed the Mr. Backlund run. Having been just a bit under 1 yr old when his first WWF Title reign ended the Mr. Backlund run was my introduction to him.

Which is the best PPV name?

I always liked Starrcade.

If you were starting up a wrestling promotion, what color scheme do you brand yourself with? What color ring ropes do you use?

I liked WCW's black cable ropes better than anything the WWE has done

I'd actually do Black and White.

I’m in agreement there. :y:

I know you’re not much for the current product, but if you had to book a main event for Mania next year, what would it be?

Hmmmmmm. I dont watch at all, but I do keep up on the results.

Braun Strowman vs Daniel Bryan. I'm booking Strowman as a heel vs Bryan as a face. I wish they did heavy heat angles because there's a lot they could do here. I don't think they've wrestled each other before, so it would be a fresh match up and such an easy storyline to book.

Watching the November 26, 1984 Madison Square Garden show. 1984 is so good. Newstead and I have talked about doing a 1984 WWF podcast together where we watch and review every piece of 1984 WWF footage in order. I found someone with some equipment, so this might be a go. Such an interesting time in the company.

Throw Seanny into the mix and we could produce something great.

I've been wanting to do that for so long

Also reading out Droford posts in a sad voice

I remember that Rikishi turn being really bad. I figured it could've worked because "big guy gets mad" seemed easy enough to portray.

I haven't watched that in a while. Did he cut more really bad promos after admitting he did it for The Rock?

A big problem with those sorts of turns is that you lose everything about the performer that drew people in. Rikishi was just a fat guy after that.

Who’s your pick for shit wrestler with a great gimmick and great wrestler with a shit gimmick?

1. The Boogeyman. Lol I loved that gimmick so much, but man was he bad.

2. The Red Rooster. Terry Taylor was so good in Mid South as a heel and he gets saddled with this. He never recovered.

Oh man, I fucking hated The Boogeyman.

Name wrestlers who do moves better than guys who are known for their delivery of that move.

Bradshaw does a better Lariat than Stan Hansen.

Mark Kerr was going through some serious drug abuse and rapid physical decline around that time which lasted years and ruined him. Try and find a documentary called The Smashing Machine, it's the most honest account of MMA drug abuse that there is.

He does a better Powerbomb than pretty much anyone I can think of too. I'd say Taker but I dunno, I seem to remember him nearly killing a few guys with it when they slipped while he was trying to hitch them up right at the end for the final elevation.

Bob Holly had a sweet dropkick but I think that's an acknowledged fact among his peers.
I always thought Shawn Michaels had a poor super kick too. I preferred Stevie Richards' Stevie Kick. It does what it says on the tin.
I remember running around the playground at school throwing "Seanny kicks" in his honour.

Saw that 2 years ago. So good!

I was gonna say Chris Adams did a better Superkick than HBK

Because of his name I always thought he must have actually been a gentleman. Then I found out he was a complete maniac. I like the crazy ones.

Yokozuna also did a great superkick.

Look at that. He didn't even end Brett's career or anything.

Someone should have shown Bill Goldberg.

In a seriousness how can anyone justify that kick not being a match ender. What's the point in little HBK doing it if Yokozuna does a better one at that size.

I have the same complaint about the superplex. How is a superplex less powerful than every finisher?

I hate it when guys hit a superplex and no sell it.

It was Bob Orton jr's finisher

lies.

Gertner exaggerates for effect a lot.

JBL does throw a mean lariat though.

It's better than Hansen's
