This happens quite a bit to actors, too. Nobody's figured out a more efficient way to distribute the tiny amounts of residuals that happen when like one person rents a film on Amazon digital.

I don't know if it was ever released as a single, but I believe "Rap is Crap" actually got some impressive airplay on country stations.

Their preferred way of dealing with it is giving net points, then cooking the books so that no movie ever technically turns a profit.

It's a little harder to screw with residuals than it is movie profit figures. The union will come down on you like a ton of bricks.

SAG scale requires at least some tiny percentage of gross residuals- the unions all caught on to that act.

Just noticed "The Music of WCW" is on Spotify. Obviously none of the production tracks are on there, and for some reason they didn't include Disco Inferno's theme (Boogie Knights made it, though, along with two other Alex Wright themes!) but it does have Rap Is Crap, the Wolfpac theme and AMERICAN MALES AMERICAN MALES AMERICAN MALES AMERICAN MALES :byodood:

They tagged Lance Storm's theme as Natural Born Thrillers!! Ugh

Mr JL was Lynn's idea because he saw how big power rangers was

The totally uninspiring ring name was Kevin Sullivan's idea, though. Jerry had a bunch of different super-hero type names he had thought of, but there was concern about getting copyright, so Sullivan just said "Screw it, we'll just call you Mr JL".

I have a friend who had some bit parts in movies when she was like 18 since she wanted pocket money and her family had studio connections. She still will occasionally get checks for like 12 cents for sales from the DVD of Bring It On.

Because in real estate, standing out matters. Not to mention, you'd be a confident speaker, and good at promoting something. And there are people who'll buy anything promoted by a dude who was on TV.

Rick Steiner sells real estate and is a school board member in a suburb of Atlanta. In fact, he was kicked off of the ballot one year for putting his name down as Rick Steiner instead of Robert Rechsteiner.

I just watched Fall Brawl 95 on the Network, and I noticed a guy holding a sign reading "Flair 3:16." Normally I would have thought nothing of it, but then I realized that Austin 3:16 was still a year away. This leaves me with three questions:

When did Flair write a gospel, what did it say, and how did only one shmuck at Fall Brawl 95 know about it?

How close was DDP to Eric, you ask? DDP was talking to Eric in 1994 about how he needed a push. Arn Anderson was there and said he'd never get over, you're too old and you can't work without a script. Bischoff exploded and never treated Arn Anderson the same way again. DDP also had effective control over his own segments since he could go over Sullivan's head to Bischoff when he wanted to do something.

I was watching Norm MacDonald host the ESPYs in 1998, and he talked about Ted Turner wanting to start his own football league.

I wonder if Vince did the XFL just to try and stick it to Ted a bit more.

In the late 1980s, he began a string of stink bomb attacks.
