Whoa! That sounds glorious, I can't believe I've never seen it.

I can't decide what's more disarming, Cholo Hogan or the brief period where he "grew" a crewcut out of nowhere.

I liked that joke because it implies that HHH jobbed to a ghost.

Bischoff/WCW's desperation to glom onto any possible aspect of Hollywood is endlessly fascinating.

That's probably the best picture of Hulk Hogan of all time

Now find that picture of fat Jimmy Hart eating a cheeseburger on a street corner with Hogan next to him

Lol, i meant the one trying not to bump and then making it look like poo poo when he didn't have a choice. Or was he just that inept?

He changed it to Major Stash, which ruins the "joke" and made it so he was the second in the group along with Major Gunns.

I swear Vince Russo is actually Vincent Adultman. His sense of humor has never risen above middle school.

"So there's a tag team, right? And they smoke *looks around* WEED! Like all the time, bro, just smoking the pot. So they can make jokes, like it's always 4:20. What? It doesn't matter if it's AM or PM, that's not the point. So their finishing move is going to be...get this...High Times! You know, like the magazine, High Times? Anyway, I'm going to call them...the Ganja Twins"

Thank you for the raft pics. Wcw is the gift that keeps on giving!

I'm still hunting for that fall brawl advertisement that said something to the effect of "we're the ad company and they won't tell us who's there! For gods sake don't miss it!"

It's a lot harder to find than the birdshit ad. At this point I'm thinking it must have been in one of those monthly booklets some ppv companies would send to you if you had a ppv set top box. No clue where one could find that poo poo.

That random show on the Network detailing the background details of some big PPV (Mania?) where you see a security desk and there's a picture of Scott Steiner with a warning not to let him into the building

Hogan's case was the front for Peter Thiel to wipe Gawker out of existence for saying mean things about him. I don't really want vampire billionaires shutting down (unionized!) news outlets they don't like, even if they're trashy tabloids.

Thiel v. Gawker is like Stalin v. Hitler. Thiel is an rear end in a top hat but he was briefly pointed at the right target.

Was there a particular reason a bunch of people were popping quads all around the same time? It seems Triple H, Nash, and Vince all seemed to tear theirs within a couple years of one another.

That was loving great. Spoke like 3 lines, got the night off, and was outta there. Peak Nash.

I was introduced to a lady at a wedding a few years ago because her husband was a wrestler in the 70’s. I forget the specifics (I was very drunk) but after he retired, her husband started a gym in Florida that a bunch of wrestlers would hang out at, and I guess they were all friends or whatever.
Anyway, she was very excited to talk about how she was friends with (among others) The Rocks Mom and had hung out with The Rock a bunch, I guess got to know him pretty well. So everybody around is all excited to hear this lady tell stories about the famous actor she knows, which admittedly is cool, but then she casually mentions this other wrestler that she is friends with, one she was pretty sure I’d never heard of, a guy who used to wrestle under the name Meng.

I was marking out bro.

So again, I reiterate that I was very drunk. My questions might not have been exactly coherent, my memories are certainly... foggy, but I’ll never forget the moment I had been waiting for, I asked the question:

“So I heard he bit a guys nose off one time?”

“Oh my god... how do you even know about that??” She seemed surprised, like it was some family secret nobody was supposed to know.

But nobody else wanted to hear about the time some wrestler bit a dudes nose off, so the conversation moved on and I had to leave to deal with my then-girlfriend, who was also very, very drunk. Good times.
