Was legit scared of Giant Gonzalez as a kid..... had the Royal Rumble with his debut on VHS and was always like "whoa, who is this dude" every time I watched it....

I thought that was a cardboard cutout at first.

Okay, legit question: I always thought Giant Gonzalez was supposed to be wearing a costume. Because it’s so obviously a costume. It’s only years later that I ever considered the possibility that it was supposed to be what he looked like and you’re not supposed to see a “costume.”

Is Giant Gonzalez supposed to be a man in a weird bodysuit or is he supposed to be a hairy beast in trunks?

As a kid I thought he was a hairy beast in trunks for sure.

I also thought Brother Love had some sort of medical condition that made his face so red.

What costume?

Just had a thought, I wonder if Gabe Sopolsky ends up writing for ROH. More and more I am interested in the ROH reboot this spring. ROH has a loyal but small live attendance in several good markets that would only increase with some fresh desirable talent and good booking.

I am expecting Gresham and Bandido to return, The Briscoes as well but I do think there is a chance one party or the other comes to the conclusion there just isn't anything left for them there.

I think that this "Control Your Narrative" stable with EC3, Adam Scherr and now Killer Kross could be a pretty good asset for ROH. Obviously Kross isn't with ROH, but he's just been announced for a "Control Your Narrative" show.

I think Gabe Sapolsky is more likely to end up booking GCW or a new thing. Maybe Jeff Jarrett starts a new little promotion?

The Jarrett thing is very viable. Conrad is always busting his balls on his podcast about his "new promotion that he is starting" but he's really just playing to the rumors for chuckles.

Jarrett is involved in a minor league baseball team in Illinois, his job is to help promote the fun at the games by doing old carny shit that people love. This is basically the sum of what Jarrett explained. He also said that out of season part of his responsibilities will be renting out the stadium so that they can make money year around. He's mentioned that he has connections with carnivals, music and of course pro wrestling.

It's probably just a matter of time before something is worked out. I have really become a big Jarrett fan from his podcast, his history and experience has given him such a unique perspective. He's the son of a promoter, grandson of a promoter, a talent, a creative, an executive, an employee... Also he's really in love with wrestling right now you can tell. I'd really like to see him find a plan that would essentially be a regional company like USWA, but could rely on some kind of TV/Streaming deal to carry the load financially.

I do admire me some Jeff Jarrett. I can’t see him staying out of the game too long. And he basically knows everybody there is to know.

Lol, I went down a bit of a YouTube rabbit hole: I had no clue Sgt. Slaughter wrestled Funaki on Sunday Night Heat in 2000.

I can’t embed from my phone, but go take a look. It’s hilarious. Kevin Kelly alternates between being a good commentator and burying the whole thing. The match is set up by Just Joe through some horrible backstage segments (for anyone who thinks they are new).

brett's not gonna give up the book at GCW.

i'd like to see gabe take over booking at AEW but i know better than that...

I watched the final ROH episode of the previous era, great main event tag match with The Briscoes vs Taven and Maria's husband. I really didn't appreciate Punk's closing message though it kinda buried ROH in my opinion, saying essentially ROH isn't what it used to be. Which is true but I don't know why you'd say that.

I hate how people use the word “charisma.”

Is that a promo from a SNME or the Rumble? I know SNME had writers and this sounds like one of those.

SNME was one of the best shows any wrestling company has ever put out. Ever.

Random thought: the WWE has always branded the Trish vs Lita match as the first Women's match to headline Raw when it's not true lol. Just noticed "Marquee Matches" on the Network and it's the Lita vs Trish match where they mention that.

Stephanie and Lita main evented for the Women’s Title in 2000, didn’t they? I guess because Steph wasn’t a “real wrestler” at the time they’ve swept it under the rug? Seems like a weird thing to do, since it makes them look like they were to the party 5 years earlier.

Alundra Blaze main evented a October 95 Raw with Bertha Faye lol

I think the diffence is the Steph/Lita match was the last match of the show but not the last segment, whereas Trish/Lita was the last match in the last segment.

There you go. I was sure I was missing something. What a weird bit of history to ignore. I guess they were mad at Blayze at the time.

WWE still needs to sell a lot of tickets to WM in the next 54 days...

Freddie Prinze Jr's podcast is such a fascinating listen. He REALLY dumbs it down, like explaining who Roddy Piper is, but he has such a different perspective into things he experienced working for the WWE. I highly recommend his most recent episode. They only run 40-45 minutes long tops.
