May 5, 20214 yr Fortunately the real show is back tomorrow (Thursday) night at 8. No clue who Brian Pillman is, guess I’ll find out.

I'm looking forward to Pillman, I believe it's 2 episodes. You should read up on him or watch stuff on YouTube about him prior to the show
May 5, 20214 yr Nah, I’m the opposite, would rather go in blind. Then I hammer the rabbit hole after.
May 7, 20214 yr Great episode last night. Really made me root for Brian Jr, he seems like a fantastic dude. And JFC Melanie did not age well. She’s only 55. I waited tables in college at Cracker Barrel in Oklahoma and she looked like the person in the smoking section that never stopped smoking and tipped you a dollar on their $30 tab.

Holy crap! I only watched half that episode so far but I kept thinking she looks terrible but must be like 65 years old or something so whatever.
May 8, 20214 yr Whole lot to unpack in this episode. Daughter is pretty attractive. One thing I don’t like about this series is Ross & Cornette love to take credit for everything that went well, but those fucks will turtle on anything else. “I wasn’t consulted”, “I was against it”, etc.. Fucking convenient, bros.

May 14, 20214 yr Turned this week's off after the intro. I'm dimly aware that went on but I'm not interested in glass, barbed wire, and all that shit.

May 18, 20214 yr The HBK one on A&E was one of the best yet and got surprisingly the most real cause he works for them now. But he talked about the yayo (his words) he was doing and pain killers and HHH talking about setting a alarm to check on him every couple hours. I’m guessing he wanted to be real and open and works for them so he could vs dealing with dead ppl and their families not wanting to be total open.
May 18, 20214 yr I thought it was great too. I only watched when he was with Marty so didn’t really know him as a solo act.

May 18, 20214 yr Only tangentially related, I watched a 10 minute interview with Mankind and talking about Hell in the Cell and how he went cold and was in a fog for a lot of the match afterwards, which led me to an audiobook clip of Stone Cold's autobiography where he talks about how Owen made an amateur mistake and nearly crippled him and then never apologized before his death. Didn't know how serious that neck injury was, I just remember Stone Cold was the height of his prime and then was out for a long time. Edited May 18, 20214 yr by DonkeyCigars

I was never much of a fan of HBK but it really told what seems to be the true story of his life with all the bad stuff and the religion/redemption angle of turning his life around. I had never heard him admit that he knew about the Montreal Screwjob until this episode. I know there were rumors he was part of it but in this show he flat out says he was which makes his lies to Brett Hart swearing to god that he didn’t know look even worse. Is it fair to say I think his wife looks hotter now than 20 years ago? Maybe its the blonde hair.

If you can watch the Stone Cold episode on A&E, they show the match it happened. After the failed move, Stone Cold couldn't move at first. When he went to go for the pin, his hands weren't working and he was crawling on his knees and wrists with his hands rolled under.

In the Booker T episode it talks about how in Booker’s debut in the WWE he threw Stone Cold onto a table but because Steve Austin was sweaty he slipped off and broke a few bones in his back. Steve Austin had some bad luck with some of these injuries.
May 20, 20214 yr Speaking of the Booker T episode, but it was damn dusty in here for parts of that. I'm biased because he and his brother trained at the same Golds Gym on Westheimer as I did back then. Hell I was there when they filmed him doing the hack squats. I knew he'd been in prison and had a rough childhood but I didn't know the extent of it. It was great to see such a legitimately great dude be successful and happy
May 21, 20214 yr Tonight’s Dark Side was pretty interesting. I never knew about the North Korea shows and I enjoyed it even listening to the smugness of Eric Bischoff.

I met Michaels back around 2002 at... wait for it.... Walmart in San Antonio. Just couldn't help starting a conversation and ogling his old lady. He came across as very kind and accommodating, so I assume this was after he'd gotten his life together. Big Fan

Full circle, but I think Goldberg fucked up Brett Hart's career with a side kick to the face.
May 27, 20214 yr His Dark Side episode is tomorrow night too, pretty much the last wrestler I followed.

I didn’t realize the speech he gave on Raw and then died later that night. He will always be Dingo Warrior to me! It was strange watching the Dark Side episode on Warrior the same week as the Biography as it was very similar so didn’t have the same impact but I do like Jim Cornette in anything so him so it had that. I am looking forward to the Mick Foley one on Sunday night. Considering I haven’t followed wrestling since the 1990’s all this nostalgic wrestling stuff has me considering paying $4.99 a month for Peacock since it includes the WWE channel which has like all the old shows from WCW/WWF and I think it has all the PPV stuff for the last 30 years or more. I could be wrong on the content so if anyone knows please post about that channel.

And he'll always be Blade Runner Rock to me. That vignette in the gym made quite an impression on young DT. Also have a buddy who is an attorney in AZ who represented him in some contract squabble, said he was a very bizarre individual
May 29, 20214 yr i've been watching the a&e bios when i can remember to dvr them. i've seen the stone cold, hbk and ultimate warrior episodes and have enjoyed all of them but agree with the sentiments here that the hbk and warrior episodes were very good. have my dvr set for the replays of the macho man and roddy piper episodes and the upcoming mick foley and brett hart episodes. brett hart was my favorite wrestler when i was really young (like 11-12) and foley was obviously a huge part of the attitude era of which i was a massive fan in my teenage years. i have peacock and started watching wrestlemania 6 after the warrior episode. to whoever asked, yes, everything is on there.
May 30, 20214 yr Haven’t seen the A&E, but dug the Dark Side on him. Didn’t know he died like that, I was out on wrestling by then. Cornette really fucking hated him. Edited May 30, 20214 yr by shadow_operative2.0
May 31, 20214 yr I’m Team Cornette on the Ultimate Warrior. He was usually sucking wind after just running to the ring and his only move was military pressing and dropping Barry Horowitz
May 31, 20214 yr Foley's 'Cane Dewey' promo is fucking amazing. They show some of it on his Biography episode but here's the full version. So tied in with the ECW fan base
May 31, 20214 yr One of the best moments of watching the attitude era growing up. JR and King great on the commentary as usual.
June 1, 20214 yr You have to watch the ae biography on mick foley. His promos and mind for the buisness is up there with the greats. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk Yeah, it was pretty great in my opinion. He is definitely a different kind of guy compared to any other wrestler I have ever seen as far as the out of the ring stuff. He is just a smart, good guy looking to make people happy. I thought it was interesting when talking about being on the road and all the other wrestlers were partying and he is like reading a book in his hotel room or going to a museum or civil war battlefield. Unfortunately all the damage he did to his body is not going to end well for him and it is pretty hard to watch him moving around now. Edited June 1, 20214 yr by Beantown Express 2.0
June 4, 20214 yr So that was a very interesting episode. Hope they are able to reconnect as siblings Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
June 4, 20214 yr Didn’t know that story at all but what POS that dad was and how he could not end up in prison when everyone knew what he was is just horrific.
June 4, 20214 yr Between what the dad did and jakes brother countless dwi how either never ended up in jail for life is crazy. Would love to see a episode just about jake talking psychology (in ring , promos) . Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
June 4, 20214 yr Asking your daughter make Pina Coladas for some random 9 year old girl "travelling" with you? WTF????
June 4, 20214 yr The documentary Beyond the Mat came out over 20 years ago and Jake the Snake is still alive. Amazing
