I heard Bischoff talk about the trip on his podcast a few months back and it sounded pretty insane. And I don’t find Bischoff to be a very interesting speaker so I was looking forward to hearing other people who experienced it talk about it.

lol @ Bischoff counting forced attendance as being a drawn crowd

He did it tongue in cheek though.

i thought that was a good ep. it was funny all the hot heads went the stieners scot norton too cold scorpen and chris benoit. an chris was the voice of reason.

Sonny Ono dressed like a metrosexual Yakuza boss. Amazing.

This episode was incredibly fascinating to me, but that's probably because I've never read anything about this show beyond the purported attendance numbers. So it's all fresh to me.

Young boy Nagata sighting.

Got around to watching the Collision in Korea episode and it was all right. Would put it more in the mid to low tier for episodes in series history.

Laughed at how everyone was saying how bad of a time they had in North Korea and Muhammad Ali just abruptly decides to jog up a flight of stairs and shadow box while visiting a sacred site and nothing bad happened to him.

2 Cold Scorpio and Hawk having legit brawls in North Korea was the best part about the episode, especially Scorpio's chopstick story.

Only regret about the episode is they really should have gotten Ric Flair for it.

It would have been great hearing his tales about his time in North Korea considering he's a very eccentric wrestler and personality while North Korea looks down on that type of stuff and is very rigid for daily life.

I liked how Chris Benoit was all "hey you shouldn't murder people".

Well played Crippler, well played

Bischoff wrote about it in his book, but that's really the only other accounting of it that I can recall.

Yeah, I wonder why they couldn't get flair.

lol I didn't even think about that.

No hair, no Flair

Does Flair have hair down there?

They nailed it with Warrior. I loved it. Can't wait for the extended version and the podcast review with Conrad. They told the truth (so far as I've heard it before) and yes buried him (he buried himself) and then at the end the sentiment really got to me. When Warrior died it was shocking and prophetic in a way. As big of a dick as he was, I still really cared for him especially when he seemed to change before he died. I ended up getting into weight lifting from his last promo and gained like 30lbs of muscle. I would pump his music at the gym and channel that Warrior spirit.

Can't wait to watch it

so jake the snake was in line to get the belt, still confused if vince had plans for jake to get the belt, he could have got it after warrior was fired.

I haven't seen it yet but I find that hard to believe.

Also, I've read reports that the A&E Warrior doc was harsher than the DSOTR one.

Gonna watch it tomorrow.

The A&E doc wasn't harsh it was definitely the opposite of The Self Destruction DVD. Still worth watching though. I enjoyed both. Darkside is much more what I understand is the truth of people's experiences in working with Warrior.

Talking about Jake, clearly that's the truth he knows but it doesn't make a lot of sense. We're talking 91' right? Warrior holds up SummerSlam, Hogan is the champ, it doesn't make sense that the Jake/Warrior program would be for the title. I think that Jake is probably confused and was high.

yeah that's what i was thinking, more then warrior kept jake from the title. vince might have used as an excuse.

He’s not confused, he’s a compulsive liar.

Yeah Jake is confused, none of that matches up.

Warrior was champ in 1990, and Jake was still a face in 1990. He wrestled Bad News Allen at Summerslam 1990.

Jake turned heel right before Summerslam by aligning with Undertaker, so they were slated to work together, but it wasn't going to be for the title. Jake probably just acting like he was gonna be champ to make himself seem more important.

A&E doc was my much better, and documented the controversies much better in my opinion.

Also, Jim Ross has the be the most bitter asshole in all of wrestling. He also is full of shit, seeing as how JR and Warrior were only in the WWE for like 4 months.

Currently watching the Warrior episode and the first half has been okay.

The thing that popped out the most so far is Warrior sort of gaining creative control in WWF after he beat Hogan for the belt assuming that part of the tale by Jake Roberts is true.

I knew Hogan had it back in the day but didn't know anyone else had it as well in WWF prior to HBK and the Kliq's rise.

Would love tosee an episode on the kliq and how much damage they did to the booking of promotions they worked for. Not to mention the soma comas.

Grizzly Smith next week. That's gonna be a rough watch.

Yeah, Jake didn't end up the way he did for no reason.

Would be great if Bill Watts was on the Grizz episode

Money talks

Just watched the Warrior episode.
One of the finest episodes they have ever done. I was moved.

I really didn't think they could get much more out of the topic between the documentaries and podcasts but that put everything together very nicely.

Warrior's ex wife had a lot of great stuff to say, also still pretty hot.

Collision in Korea was interesting but the Warrior episode is something else.

Queering in Korea next week, can't wait!

Finished the Ultimate Warrior DSOTR

It was ok.

Considering watching the A&E doc. Have heard nice things about it too.

I would say the Warrior episode has been the worst this season.

Don't get your Nickers Gage in a twist mate, just because WARRIOR was a REAL wrestler.

Nick Gage couldn't even break Bobby Heenan's neck if he dug his vertebrae up and took a sledgehammer to them.

And his missus looked like a hispanic Steve Urkel
