Pretty sure it's a Revelations reference. The Beast that 666 is the number of. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Beast_(Revelation)

Apparently there's a second beast that exists only to play false prophet for the first one, so even Heyman fits in here

A beast is already a thing of flesh. Shoddy work from Heyman.

Equally baffling is when Cage said: "They call me Cage, I'm not a man... I'm a machine". Cages aren't machines.

Yes, which is why they drew throngs of adoring female fans. Unfortunately male fans today are such misogynists they can't for a second take into account what women like and assume other subtexts about totally normal heterosexual things.

They finally did that run in 1991 with Cornette as their manager. It's pretty fun. They wear chaps.

The time frame of the Fabs/ME is sort of blurry to me.

And to make things just a bit more confusing, Bobby Eaton and Steve Keirn were briefly a tag team in WCW called "Bad Attitude" during that period. They were originally going to be called "The Fabulous Express", but I think that was a little too on the nose.

I'm sure some of the Indian champions like Dara Singh and the Great Gama were good workers for their day, but it's not like their style would look good by modern standards, if you can even find enough footage to make a judgment.

They should have brought Lane in, actually called it "The Fabulous Express" and then just Freebirded.

Why does Ticketmaster/WWE insist on selling tickets to Smackdown in multiples of two? I'm considering going to the one in Dayton in June and that's all I can do right now.

It might not be terrible to buy the second seat to not get some 500 pound dude next to me, but still.
