He just came out of retirement sort of. He says he still has some good matches left in him and he's in the best shape of his life and he's excited and wants to wrestle and loves everything.

Oh DDP. :unsmith:

At least he's not broken down like so many other old wrestlers. I'm amazed he's 53, only three years younger than Hogan.

He also had a short run in TNA back when they were on FSN.

I was going to ask about this in the Questions thread but figured I'd have more luck here.

I'll try to track an episode of Nitro down with this kid in it, but does anyone remember a curly haired kid that was probably 3-5 years old that seemed to be at EVERY Nitro and PPV? He was always ring-side and he was captured on camera pretty regularly with a Wolfpack t-shirt on. Always have just been curious whose son he was, or if anyone else ever remembered the guy.

He got sitcom-aged and turned into that Cena-hating Smark that Cena loves.

Amen. I went to a concert once and there was a opening band. They were talented enough, but the music was just very out of place. Regardless, they were energetic as poo poo, clearly loved performing and were as into it as you could possibly be. 5 songs later, this Australian pop-punk band earned a crazy ovation from a room full of rockers and metalheads.

Conveying your enjoyment for what you're doing is unbelievably important.

He would say something about him and the boulder drawing 30 million fans to the Roman Catholic Church or something.

Let's talk about an awesome part of WCW: Arn Anderson vs. The Great Muta for the TV title in 1990, featuring Jim Ross & Jim Cornette on commentary and/or personal insults of anyone within 500 feet (with Ross possibly saying "Are there any good looking Orientals?"), a Buzz Sawyer appearance, a Batman reference, Bill Apter, the Cattle Mutilation and atomic heat.

It's pretty easy for me to imagine Austin having a little trouble trying to work out a new gimmick - DDP just walks up to him , big loving smile, puts a hand on his back and says "Hey Steve, just be yourself." Then he smiles one more time for good measure and starts to walk away thinking about how happy he is that he was able to help out a friend, and then Austin grabs him, stunners him and pours a beer on him and says "Thanks."

DDP, still reeling from the stunner, manages to lift his hand a give a thumbs up.

I wish technology was more advanced back then. Imagine if when austin ddp and mick were traveling together, they could of recorded video on mobiles. I actually really wished they would let wrestlers record themselves more and show more personality out of the ring. More of a reality spin on the vignettes they used to do a lot.

Wasn't the story something to the effect of: DDP wants to do the spot but doesn't know how, and Eddie basically says "Just get me up in position and I'll take care of it"?

My three favorite wrestlers in WCW were DDP, Ric Flair, and Goldberg in some order. DDP ruled.

Edit: I love the Diamond Cutter so much. The powerbomb into Diamond Cutter spot is just great because there is absolutely no reason to do it, but he did it anyway.

What would of been great is if they could of had a longer match, where eddie keeps countering the cutter over and over. So ddp eventually just thinks "how the hell can i hit the cutter on him, I know, he would never expect that poo poo from a powerbomb!"

It would be on the second attempt, because Eddie would never think "He won't Cutter me here", more, "He won't try to cutter me from here AGAIN"
