Between Cole being given the freedom to poo poo up the place every week on Raw and being able to openly mock Vince I have to wonder if there isn't more going on behind the scenes with him. He's got some dirt on somebody or something.

The 24/7 and Chimel stuff at the end were absolute gold. This is where Michael Cole is perfect - allowed to poo poo on a product nobody REALLY cares about. Yes, old wrestling is neat and can be fun to watch, but 80% of that stuff is just terrible. Him and Mick riffing on it was great, and that Chunk 'O Chimel at the end was a beautiful thing. A+ Botchamania.

The best part of that Shea Stadium show commentary was at the end when Cole asked Foley if he ever worked out. Foley got all upset and felt insulted.

The whole "Showdown at Shea" show with Foley/Cole on commentary aired on 24/7 a few years back. Most of it's on Youtube: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22s...bih=635&cad=cbv EDIT: In the Hogan/Andre video, Foley mentioned wrestling Andre in Japan right before he died, and sure enough, one of those matches is on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izlT0h0TqOc Eugene Jerome fucked around with this message at 06:21 on Jun 11, 2011 |

For me, the best part was when Foley asked Cole why he never talks about his journalism background and Cole just flat-out says "because nobody cares." The whole thing is funny, though. Cole is surprisingly good without Vince or Kevin Dunn screaming in his ear, and I remember him and Taz doing pretty well on the Benoit DVDs when they were just allowed to be themselves.

Wouldn't doubt that, it's a really risky surgery - if it's the same as what Show had, it was a small tumor growing and pressing against the pituitary gland, causing him to keep growing and growing. Thankfully he had the surgery to get it removed early on, or he'd probably be having the same trouble now that Andre did near the end of his career.

It really is amazing that Andre lived as long as he did, given the medical options available for the condition he had when he was young.

They redid the spot in early TNA and it was still awesome, but I remember Tenay and the guy who wasn't Don West talking about Jeff Jarrett and Ron Killings through it, completely no selling it.

Everybody's favorite cosplay otaku kickboxer, Yuichiro "Jienotsu" Nagashima makes his professional wrestling debut against Kohei Sato from Zero-1 MAX. Nagashima is a K-1 MAX champion and knocked out a highly touted MMA champion on New Year's Eve which produced one of the funniest moments in Mixed Martial Arts history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8z4xs1ddQ0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIiiojijhPk
