Pope Corky the IX posted:“I was going to be the bassist for Metallica after Cliff Burton died but they thought I was too good” is a bizarre one because that’s actually what happened to Les Claypool. See, I thought the story was he was going to be the bassist before Cliff joined the band, making him Ron McGovney but Bad Terry always has had a unique perception of time's unceasing flow like how when he was seven he was a huge fan of Dusty Rhodes tearing it up in Florida, the catch being Dusty would have been about 15 at the time.

Surfer Sting had such a big kid energy that really connected with young fans. Just this "Hey everyone, I'm a wrestler, isn't that awesome?"

For whatever reason aside from Saturday Night's Main Event the only wrestling I knew for a long stretch was JCP/NWA/etc. so after Junkyard Dog my favorite wrestler was Sting who (to me) burst on the scene at the Clash versus Flair and I was a Little Stinger from then on.

Well the RnRs didn't like their spot on the card because at that point they'd been pushed to mid-card and feuding with the Sheepherders and the payoffs for it it sucked, particularly the Bash that year. As mentioned the office was also a horror show so they (I think) negotiated with Vince first but that fell through so they bounced to AWA where Verne 100% did not get them so they don't last long there but do have a brief feud with the (Midnight) Rockers.

The RnRs were right. They were top card talent. The Sheepherder fued would have been better if there had been any build up. It is funny how stacked the tag team talent is at this time. Yeah I want Dusty to back off. It feels like Lugar and Windham have been sacrificed for Dusty's ego.

Dusty was super burned out as a booker in 88 but wouldn't give it up cause he was afraid others would backstab him. But given the state of JCP in 88 I'm not sure any booker would of been able to save them

It's just he and the nWo didn't realize, as bad guys, they had to eventaully lose. I was gonna say Nash proved himself the smartest man in the business by turning face but then he immediately turned heel after becoming World Champion and pissed it al away so I duno what he was thinking.

Building on the being sick of Dusty I will say that I am not sick of Ric Flair. The man coming out and having a manic episode after doing a pound of cocaine is incredible ever time.

I miss Jimmy Valiant. He is gone in '89 and there isn't a goofball wrestler around anymore. Hayes filled the whole, but he is gone too.

Dusty being turned by Kevin sullivan.. they flirted with the idea of Sullivan turning other baby faces with his "demonic powers" and he tried kidnapping Windham. Could have been interesting if that stable had kept growing and corrupting.

Sullivan is basically a satanic sports agent and he's got all these blue chippers and it rules.
