He half-assed it. Should have colored the grey out of his hair and frosted his tips.

Maybe he just wanted to fit right in with how half-assed WWE handled SmackDown's "Throwback" show overall.

The Between the Sheets Patreon shows are by far the best wrestling Patreon shows around. The stuff Bix and Zellner uncover is amazing

I just listened to their "Sale of WCW" shows and came out of it with a totally different impression of Jamie Kellner. He definitely does not deserve the blame for killing WCW.

Not as half-assed as AEW has been in 2021 with big shows. Good lord.

Don’t blame Jamie Kellner at all. He wouldn’t have canceled WCW if it weren’t such a money pit. And isn’t there a whole bunch of stuff about at least one of Eric Bischoff’s investors backing out when they saw the spreadsheets? So the Fusient sale was likely not going down anyway.

So what had happened was Bischoff's investors wanted to own those time slots on TNT, which meant they could air whatever they wanted and could sell the time slots. So technically Fusient could air WCW for 6 months and up and decide "we aren't gonna air WCW" and replace it with whatever they wanted to and there's nothing TNT could do about it. Or they could sell the time slots. Can you imagine having no control over the prime time slots on your own network.

According to Eric Bischoff, he once came up with a storyline in WCW that would have involved his character getting killed off and return as a ghost to haunt Nitro afterwards.

Only reason it didn't happen was due to TNT not being fond of that idea at all.

Speaking on a recent Q&A episode of his 83 Weeks podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer stated that the craziest pitches he ever received while in charge of WCW weren't from any particular talent, but rather himself. He details an angle that would have seen him "die" in a plane crash, but says that not only did his family have a hard time accepting it, but TNT executives were also not fond of it happening. He said the following:

“I think the weirdest pitches I’ve ever come across have been my own. Like when I was going to create my own death in an airplane crash in Mexico months before Halloween Havoc so I could show up as the spirit of myself and continue to haunt babyfaces. I was totally committed to do it…. I was so committed to doing things that were so off the wall and unexpected and over-the-top. I went so far as to sit down with Harvey Schiller and say, ‘Look, Harvey, this is how this is going to work. Here’s what I’d like to do.’ I had it all planned out. The reason -- because I lived in Arizona for a while, had a home in Arizona, and I thought, you know what, I’m going to -- no, this is before I bought my home in Arizona but Loree and I were going down to Arizona a lot. I had my own plane at the time so I thought, I can’t die in a plane crash in the United States because it would be too easy to verify that it wasn’t true. But in Mexico, you could die in a plane crash and it would take six months, if you were working hard, to find out if it was really true. It’s just a little different. So I thought, that’s what I need to do. Now I wasn’t really going to crash my plane in Mexico, or even land in Mexico, but I was going to plant the word that -- My family was in on it. My kids knew what I wanted to do. My wife -- she did not like it at all because I wasn’t telling the rest of my family. I was only telling my immediate family. So my wife had a real hard time with that storyline, and it never happened. I mean, that’s pretty bizarre, but I pitched myself that one. I should say I pitched it to Harvey and I got shut down on that one.”

Ciampa looks amazing. Hope he can stay heathy.

If you want to have fun, and if you're not already blocked, Ryback got his survey back on Twitter, for a 3rd time !!!

Going to assume "retired" won for a third time in a row since he likely forgot to leave it off as an option this time around.

Ryback rules. Fuck all ya'll.

THE RYBACK's theme still gets stuck in my head all the time

He just shut it down because of evil russian and chinese bots voting for him to retire, but he said he will fight back !!

Ryback is the best lol. Working all the marks.

So my gf asked me why I don't watch current wrestling anymore and I showed her this. Her comment was "why do they do that. You can't even see what's going on"

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">This clip from SmackDown lasts 34 seconds.<br><br>I counted 32 camera cuts.<br><br>I hate you, Kevin Dunn. <a href="https://t.co/4yyxqt35yG">pic.twitter.com/4yyxqt35yG</a></p>— Andrew Rich (@AndrewTRich) <a href="https://twitter.com/AndrewTRich/status/968941863087550467?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 28, 2018</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I remember that episode of NXT where Kevin Dunn's audio got leaked. It was kinda interesting hearing him run the show. But that was in late 2010, before the days of a billion camera cuts.

Would be kinda fascinating to hear him call a show nowadays. Is he literally screaming at somebody to switch from camera to camera over and over again or is he doing it himself. It happens so rapidly. Dizzying.

For those who watched the Biography episode about Booker T on A&E from this past Sunday, supposedly the reason for the lack of any real talk about the infamous Road to Mania 19 storyline between Booker T and Triple H was due to WWE's involvement with the editing of the episode.

Someone who was interviewed for the episode mentioned how he talked in depth about the controversial storyline and knew it was going to get axed by WWE since it would have made the company look bad.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr"><a href="https://twitter.com/iamjohnpollock?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@iamjohnpollock</a> I don't know if you have watched the Booker T doc yet, but here's some insight from one of the interview subjects <a href="https://t.co/25CKQTzMIW">pic.twitter.com/25CKQTzMIW</a></p>— Ben Goodman (@grandpashampoo) <a href="https://twitter.com/grandpashampoo/status/1391578452982042627?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 10, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

Booker T claims that was never the case and the reason for the lack of talk about it on the episode was due to it never being one of the topics planned nor filmed for it.

"How can it be pulled (when) it never actually got in," he said. "To write [that it got pulled], makes it seem like there was a whole lot of meat and potatoes on the bone of the story of Booker T and Triple H. I never gave that story a whole lot of credence or given a lot of thought to me losing that match. They talk about the story, and I understand that, but I never looked at my career and framed my career around a single match. I got paid more money for that match than I got paid for any match in my life. I'm not gonna complain about that. When people try to make something out of a racial issue between Booker T, Triple H, and WWE, someone is just trying to get some clicks. I just want everyone to know that, that was not what my story was about at the end of the day. My story is not about the dark side of WrestleMania 19. For people to want to make it about that, I get it and understand, but for me personally, that's not what my career makeup is about."

Booker noted that he saw a rough cut of the documentary a year ago and the WrestleMania 19 story was not part of that cut either. He also said that David Dennis started something by putting the tweet out and then deleting it.

John Pollock brought up a good point how that being missing from the episode was a total cop-out on WWE and A&E's end since the episode didn't shy away from other racism incidents Booker T encountered during his career in WCW and Global Wrestling Federation.

Nicole Bass and John Kronus did a bondage video in 2002

Directed of course by Robert Black of XPW fame

Could have gone on just fine without learning that.

Could have, but glad you did

Fuck I got to go see that now.

John Kronus being legally mentally challenged and probably shouldn't have legally able to participate takes the cake.

Same. I had drifted away from all of Conrad's stuff, but Jeff has piqued my interest.... Week #3 is on Owen Hart and should be a good one.

I listen to Jeff and JR's. Kurt's is just too dry. Arn's is a bore, Bruce and Eric's are just bullshit fests. Tony's is just too goofy.

I miss those old buildings. Each had such a unique look to them.

Random: Fond memories of walking through the super-narrow hallways of Maple Leaf Gardens....

I loved the Gardens. I won a contest when I was 9 to skate on the ice.

There was a WWF credit card!?

I remember the WCW credit card. Had no idea about the WWF.
