Yeah, I'd really like to see a director's cut version of this one in the future.

It's funny because I was watching Starrcade '86 over the weekend and I was thinking man this scaffold match is the drizzling shits.

I liked the idea of it as a kid, but man the actual thing was just terrible.

They fucking put Steve Austin, Bobby Eaton & Terry Taylor, three really good wrestlers and a 400 pound PN News in a Scaffold Match and it was a capture the flag rules since no one (wisely) wanted to take the drop.
Great American Bash 91 could be one of the worst PPVs of all time

True about GAB '91, but I'd take the worst of Jim Herd over the worst of Russo any day.

Rick Steiner & Missy Hyatt beat Arn Anderson and Paul E Dangerously in a cage match in 2 minutes
Missy was taken to the back before anything could happen by Dick Slater & Dick Murdoch since they couldn’t have man on woman violence in the match.
This was the main event of the show.
Hers was dogshit, but Russo was like hold my beer, bro.

Brother, there were PPVs with the Dungeon of Doom in the main event.
Never forget.

I can find the comedy in Zodiac being put in a submission in War Games and the referee not knowing whether to stop the match because the motherfucker keeps saying YES/NO YES/NO! Haha

That '95 War Games is about as bad as it gets for that match.

I guess that's why Bubba didn't catch Cornette on the fall.

"One of the funniest moments in wrestling! You got to understand the story man, it's funny as hell. God rest his soul too, Big Bubba Boss Man, right? Boss Man and Hawk were like this (fingers crossed gesture), they rode together - and I say that in a sense cause those guys rode with the smokers. They loved to get high.
"So they got high the night before the Scaffold match. Boss Man got high as a kite. Nobody could tell because he had sunglasses on.
"So I'm holding on to Cornette, and I give Cornette props, he's afraid of heights--definitely afraid, he doesn't fly. He drives everywhere or takes a train. He holds onto the Scaffold and I say 'Jimmy you got it?' He says 'Yeah, I got it.'
"I told Boss Man, I yell down and go 'Hey, you ready?' I'm thinking 'How is Boss Man going to catch Cornette?' If he does catch him, Cornette is like a 250-pound sack of crap, he's going to kill him.
"Then I tell Boss Man 'You ready?' I said 'Okay,' and I said 'Go!' Boss Man standing like this, and he's three feet off and misses Cornette. Cornette falls and hits - both knees went 'POP!' like a big two-by-four, you hear them both go. He blew out both knees in that one deal. He was screaming!
"And Hawk and I are belly laughing on the Scaffold. He's lying in pain, but it was so funny, you had to see Bubba standing there like this, and then staring like this watching Cornette hit. You had to be there and be involved in the match because it was so funny. We laughed our butts off at that."

That's great.
Bubba did look lost as fuck. Though he was probably concussed from his match with Ronnie Garvin earlier that night.

Just finished. We know everything, but to those who don’t, it’s a good doc.

Finally watched that Vince documentary. It sucked. Was basically taking clips from other Dark Side of the Ring episodes and splicing in some new interviews.
A waste of 2 hours.

The day after it aired, Bryan and Dave, who were obviously both interviewed for it, seemed pretty let down that it was 100% info we knew, 75% Dark Side of the Ring clips spliced together and 25% newer interviews.
It was a super let down, but for those who’ve never known Vince’s story, it was informative in that regard.
For the rest of us, we knew everything.

I think there was a way to do it without just rehashing the old Dark Side of the Ring episodes. That was the worst part.
Make it original and not just an infomercial for your other series.

Season 4 of Dark Side of the Ring has some interesting topics.

There's a lot of solid episodes in there. Only one I am not at all interested in is Marty Jannetty.

Post by The Original Kid Cairo on May 26, 2023 15:35:51 GMT -6
I don't really care about Abdullah or the Tammy and Chris stories to be honest. I'm really looking forward to the Magnum, Graham, and Adonis stories.
I think I've seen Bash 2000 covered from 100 different angles at this point.

I'm a sucker for Larry Shreve stories.
Same with Candido. That'll be good IMO just to have Cornette talking about him. I could give a shit about Tammy. Maybe guys will bury HHH and Shawn though.

I imagine the Bash 2000 will be Russo and Bischoff, two people who I don't want to hear from again when it comes to WCW re-telling.
I also imagine Candido & Tammy will be about how they were so innocent coming into the business, Chris was a really nice guy and Tammy was...well, Tammy.

It was exactly that. I thought it was a good premiere episode with his brother, mother, Dr. Tom, Corny, Lance Storm & Terri Runnels being interviewed.
I'll always remember how Candido was at the first indy show I went to in 2005 with my dad. I didn't talk to him and really wish I had, but first indy show and being a teenager, I was nervous. He passed away a few months later.
Corny said had Candido been coming up today, he would've been a star and I 100% agree.
