Lmao Chad Fortune and Dale Torborg

The Pit Crew and Tekno Team 2000. Chad Fortune had a heck of a career.

Chad “I beat Goldberg” Fortune

Oh shit that's Dale Torborg?! Didn't realise he'd wrestled prior to being the Demon.

That’s a glorious set of hair on The Pit Crew.

They were horrendous.

These C and D syndicated shows are full of gimmicks that never made Nitro or Thunder

Dale Torborg was still in his 20s when WCW went under, and reportedly WWF was interested in making him one of the contracts they picked up but he decided to skip his tryout and go back to baseball coaching.

In 1994 there was a short lived daytime Talk Show called Bingo Break. Gorilla Monsoon was one of the host along with some woman who wasn't in the wrestling business. Sean Mooney and Bobby Heenan were on it too, but they don't play up the wrestling connection at all. He's actually not even referred to as Gorilla Monsoon. He's "Bob Marella". It was created by long time WWF producer Nelson Swigler. It's really interesting.

Great find Gert! Never herd of this before. How short lived is it?

They were given a 13 week run but I don't believe it made it that long

Shut Up You Ignorant Ass

Rod McMahon passed away. Apparently Vince’s mother is still alive.

Meant to be 100 going by some online, if not shemust not be far off it.

When did he beat Goldberg?

Dark match before he debuted on TV. Anyone who went to that taping saw a fun bit of history without knowing it.

Every time I remember that Renee’s podcast is called Oral Sessions I can’t help but think “Mox you lucky son of a bitch”

That's some serious heat right there Jimmy Cornette!

I bet she just sensually sucks his dick for hours. You can tell in her face. Moxley knew what he was going after.

Wasn't Big E dating somebody's mom

He wanted to date Becky Lunch's mum

There's a Hogan story from IGN in like 2002 that I've been trying to track down where he says he used to compete in shoot fights like Pride in Japan in the 70's.

Thinking about the time CM Punk made a horror movie GIRL ON THE THIRD FLOOR (it's terrible and he's not a good actor) and it's about a haunted house that used to be a bordello and the house blasts him in the face with haunted jiz

Had the misfortune of watching that a few weeks ago :nono:

Wrestling fans on Twitter make me sick. Adult men collecting Wrestling toys, belts and t-shirts make me sick. Everytime I read a fan's critisim of a wrestler doing a dangerous spot or neck bump, makes me sick. I regularly am deleting anything Wrestling related on Twitter because this fan base in general has become no different than comic con cos play cock suckers who think they know better than anyone who actually works in the buisness. Marks have taken over the voice of the fan and it has become a market unto itself. Podcasts and promotions constantly shoved down my throat. I don't include most of those who post here when I say I hate Wrestling fans.

Wrestling Twitter is terrible. They hate everything and never shut the fuck up about it.

That's why I like this place, I can say something is gay, retarded, stupid as fuck....and I don't get "bashed" from either side about what or how I say something.

Shame he couldn't maintain that weight

Vince wanted him to gain weight for the role. It's something that doesn't get brought up. Vince wanted Yoko to gain weight for the gimmick, but Yoko couldn't put the breaks on it once he got used to eating constantly.

Kind of looks like a fat Roman Reigns in this photo

Twat waffle.

That’s a really uncomfortable Vince thing that you don’t hear enough about.
