Platypus Farm posted:And uncle elmer was frequently a guy who just sat on the apron whenever hillbilly jim or another of the hick wrestlers would wrestle, and elmer would just sit there and eat chicken. Really. that sounds like the best job of all time, I would happily take a WWE paycheck just to sit on the apron and eat chicken

I'm behind, but this passed without comment largely, and I feel I need to make one:Rarity posted:So many questions. Luckily, one of these I have an answer for. This is trash TV talk show host Morton Downey Jr., making an appearance here to meet Vince's celebrity quota. He's smoking as he comes down to the ring and Jesse says that he's “always puffing on that weed”. Holy poo poo, Jesse! You just called someone a drug user on national television! You're wrong, though. That's blatantly just a straight. Love confronts Morton and says that he doesn't love him. Morton retorts that “any guy who wears a skirt I don't want to love me”. FOR gently caress SAKE, NO! Firstly: the insane awful of this segment is really not shocking when you know who Morton Downey Jr. was. He might legitimately be one of the worst human beings (if he even qualifies as such) to ever be on television, and I'm saying that with Trump actively in mind (there's an argument to be made, in fact, that Downey was basically proto-Trump, but with a talk show instead of political ambitions). Secondly: Morton was a legit chain-smoker and was very against anti-smoking campaigns, that's not a gimmick. And yeah, it eventually gave him cancer, and there was much rejoicing by all.

rare Magic card l00k posted:People have been complaining about WWE needing to think about the future instead of pushing Cena since he was 35. WCW had people other than Flair, though, at least in those days. He was their top draw, but they weren't completely boned without him. Meanwhile, if Cena retires or gets a career-ending injury or dies, there's probably no WWE anymore within a year.

I feel like if one was legit important for an angle, then it should probably be included just so Rarity gets the full idea of what's going on, but otherwise no. So, Rocky 3 and No Holds Barred, and that's it, I'm pretty sure (until Ready to Rumble, if Rarity ever decides to do WCW). e: aaaaarguably See No Evil but that's a long loving ways off.

Rarity posted:Um... you get that movies aren't real? ...Right? i would assume so given that he's complaining about Hulk's ego getting in the way of the movie and associated feud having a sane narrative structure? WeedlordGoku69 fucked around with this message at 22:11 on Dec 10, 2017 |

Rarity posted:Bret decides this is the time to bust out a Phil Collins lyric and quotes that they'll be “two hearts beating as one”. I have a weird feeling this was supposed to be a pun. Two Harts beating (Demolition up) as one.

Qonas posted:There was also another skit, I forget if it was Youtube only or not, that saw Ted Sr and Dusty actually commiserate over "how weird our kids are". This was during Cody's mask phase. ... for some reason I thought Cody was Dustin's son and Dusty's grandkid. Now that I actually look it up, Dustin would have had to be a teen dad for that to be remotely possible.

Can we talk about future non-WWF stuff here? I want to mention something about Tugboat/Typhoon, and... okay, there's basically no way in hell Rarity isn't familiar with the moment itself, but it's entirely possible the context would be a semi-spoiler.

Rarity posted:Well... I mean... He's not very good, is he? is he, like, a technically skilled wrestler? oh holy loving christ no. Sid Vicious might be one of the most limited people ever to get a WWF contract and not have some obvious reason why they're limited (ie Andre being loving massive, Bossman being old, Zeus not actually being a wrestler). but Sid made up for this with pretty much literally everything else a wrestler can be good at, is the thing. he's like the crowning example of a fantastic wrestler who sucks at actually wrestling, and even if he wasn't entertaining as hell, he'd own for that alone.

DeathChicken posted:I remember Sid once squashed a jobber, the jobber was taken off on a stretcher. Sid heroically volunteered to take the stretcher up the ramp for the paramedics. Then he launched the stretcher back down the ramp and into the ring see, like, this is the type of thing i'm talking about Sid was booked in a way that de-emphasized his moveset for the most part, and emphasized the fact that he's scary as all hell
