Look at Jake's smile. Dude looks legitimately happy. I hope Scott's gets there.

I'm guessing Scott is still drunk, between his eyes and being in the wheelchair (when I went in for treatment, they tossed me in a wheelchair during intake because I was so dehydrated that raising my arms above my head for a chest X-ray winded me to the point of nearly passing out; it looks like Scott may have had a rough time getting off the plane). But I'm glad to see that he's with DDP and Jake. Fingers crossed. :unsmith:

I think he just got out of detoux and due to his addiction having trouble walking.

This is as good a time as any to repost the Scott Hall E:60 story (moving pictures count, right?), https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL4IbTRRtSc

Skip the first 30 seconds or so, it's intolerable. But after that is just gutpunch after gutpunch, and really, it's a bloody miracle Hall's even alive, much less the shape he's in now. Even if DDP extends his life another 6 months, he's doing God's work.

Keep in mind also that DDP and Jake might be picking him up from the hospital/treatment center where he underwent detox. The one time I was discharged from a hospital they insisted on wheeling me out even though I was certainly healthy enough to walk.

After watching Beyond the Mat and the Heroes of Wrestling disaster and seeing where Jake was even back then in 1999 ... that Jake has hit at least 60 days of sobriety means that DDP is already worthy of canonization. If he can get Scott straightened out, gently caress it, DDP has become a just and loving God.

That's definitely an airport; the sign behind them reads "Terminal North" and those are baggage pallets behind them.

Don't really care for it. All the gaudiness of the spinner without the flair. Looks like something an Elvis Impersonator would wear while he's on the Vegas Strip. Or something Andrew Lazarchik would make as an example to show the company.

Say what you will about ICP's music, (shitful) fans (shitfuller) and politics (shitfullest), they are apparently the least carny wrestling promotion in the USA. Dudes paid on time, bonuses for high gate takings, treat the talent well etc.

"Treat the Talent well" = Get them free drugs.

They are carny, just in the opposite direction.

HUSTLE had two championships: The Hustle Hardcore Hero Championship, which was represented by a giant spiked baseball bat,



and the Hustle Super Tag Team Championships, which were more traditional.

This looks like they never finished painting it.

Here's Matt Hardy's vanity title (not really, but it should be)



I really liked this OVW title. It's like they combined the early 90's belt with the Attitude era belt.

Sorry I know we're discussing Hall here but seeing Michaels from this point in his career is always strange to me. He just looks so puffy and unnatural being that size. He looked a lot better once he started getting leaner.
