Several weeks back, someone linked me with a timestamp to when he had Shane Douglas on and they talked about being sent by Bill Watts to what seemed like a fetish photoshoot where they kept putting a gun in each other's mouth.

Really.

I was trying to remember who sent it to me.

It's at 44:20 of this episode: https://buffandboochcast.podbean.com/e/the-franchise-shane-douglas/

(Yes, his show is "The Buff & Booch Cast" and they have it set up to have a public download counter.)

Not surprisingly, given Buff's involvement and the story, there's some homophobia, but it still needs to be heard because they're clearly telling the truth and it's a loving *wild* story.

That's okay, most of us who watched it as it happened couldn't understand what was going on either, I'm pretty sure a large number of the wrestlers didn't have any clue, and I'm fairly certain Vince Russo was equally as confused half the time.

The story of David Flair being:

a pampered kid who was being elevated far beyond his level due to his father,

suddenly becoming a violent psychotic man, hanging out with crowbar, dating Daffney and winning tag titles (and a mini feud with the maestro?)

being seduced by Stacy Keibler, cheating on Daffney

Back to psychotic after Stacy revealing someone else impregnated her

Like it's not an awful start to a wrestling career, but it's astounding to hear how often B&V talk about how he had potential but they never really let him develop, just put him on TV ludicrously before he was ready.

Yeah I love listening through the attitude era trying to understand anything that's happening.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Retroactively these recap shows have made Sid, David Flair, David Arquette and Tank Abbott awesome.

Conversely they buried Juventud Guerrera, Al Snow and Blitzkrieg.

there really arent a lot of really good long term storylines in WCW at all

like the closest you get in the Nitro era was Sting vs Hogan, and that was basically a year of Sting dropping from the rafters and beating up the nWo until Starrcad

actually a fun through line that Brian has mostly been ignoring since June is this (though he somewhat brought it up this week)

in January 1999, Giant Baba who was the long time owner and promoter of All Japan passed away. Due to political friction between the company president Misawa and owner Motoko Baba (Giant's wife), Misawa ends up leaving the company in May 2000 and forming PW Noah.

A lot of All Japan's roster followed Misawa, some stayed, and a few took a neutral options and didn't join either or retired.

one of those people who retired was a man named Johnny

Johnny had connections to WCW and NWA and got himself a job working as a backstage WCW agent

since the 2 main WCW producers in Bischoff and Russo were already fighting and falling apart, Johnny started amassing influence backstage quickly in June

when Russo left following Bash at the Beach he had enough sway to run the booking committee , Johnny booked the good US Heavyweight TItle Tournament that Lance won and generally is why Lance got over so goddamned much in his early going

later on when Russo came back, he would play second fiddle up until Russo finally quits for good, after which he ends up lead booking the company through the dead cat bounce that is well regarded

WWF was impressed with him and he was kept on as a backstage producer when WCW got sold and he moved up the ranks in Talent relations...


I think everyone knows where this ends
