    I think JR might have been a bit political, but he seemed pretty troubled about who was fired and who got away with shit. The way he specifically said "He got a pass" talking about Ric Flair really came off like it's a moment that still gives him trouble to think about to this day.

    Either spudz or slutty was definitely liberal. They hated trump. I can't remember who was who. They both seemed the same to me.

    One, I think you quoted the wrong post, bud.

    Two, are Spudz and Slutty the same person? Because in my head they are. Whichever one had to always come up with terrible nicknames for everything he talked about that were so bad that they would make Tyson cringe, was not a conservative.

    Moreso, even.

    Considering how high JR was on the company’s management ladder at the time of the flight; he was complicit in giving Flair a pass, which is a terrible look.

    he went on shitty rants, on more than a handful of occasions, about gay people, trans people, mexican immigrants and muslims. but he also hated trump. i cant remember him expressing a liberal point of view.

    I get that dreamer is friends with Flair and maybe he hasn’t seen Flair inappropriately touch a female but just leave it at that, when he goes onto well if you were so distressed why did you take a payout made him look like a douche.

    Was this the same plane ride where Taker choked out Angle? They mentioned he was on the flight but nothing else.

    Yes but they faced to mention Vince going after Kurt and Taker choking Kurt. Curious they didn't mention it.

    Different plane ride. Either the year before or after from what I read.

    Peacock pulled the story time where Flair was messing around with the flight attendants.

    That was probably a smart move. Look at the Peacock making a sound decision.


    As a bunch of weirdos who have been posting on the same forum for more than a decade, I think we tend to underestimate the number of fans who just watch the product and really don't know that much about the wrestlers outside of the ring.

    "the Peacock", are you going to start talking about "the WCW" next?

    You have a point but I'm also not convinced half the people on Twitter even watched the show. They just saw other people complaining about it and piled on. In the era of Twitter mobs optics are all that matter to companies.

    He did and he was very much liberal. I don't think his comments were ever intended as being legit racist as much as they were an attempt at comedy as he always over exaggerated everything in attempt to get a laugh. Indo find it amusing you seem to think a liberal can't be racist though.

    I apologize for being overly formal with your friend P kok

    I agree on Twitter. Pretty sure most people just read the tweets.

    Although, other than whether “alleged” was used in the tweet….there’s not tons of nuance in the actual story.

    It's like a Bret Hart promo. I used to think it was funny when he'd say "the SummerSlam" when cutting a promo.

    I think it was an OSW reviews video I was watching where they mentioned Bret saying "the WCW" and played a bunch of clips. I'd never noticed it before.

    Yeah he does it for a bunch of stuff. I always just thought it sounded funny because no one else called it "the SummerSlam".



    Rewatching this I also don't like the way Bret says "ruined".

    Good promo though.

    I definitely heard of the PRFH but never knew the details besides a lot of partying. I didn’t know that was the reason Hall and Hennig were fired. I read Hall was fired for missing a show and they had nothing creatively for Hennig.

    beyond that, considering you thought it was funny that PG seemed to think a liberal couldnt be racist, by the flip of that coin is it not funny that you think being pro mask or vaccine is some strict liberal thinking?

    I'm very interested in the Kanyon episode. I heard the Bucks talk on it and I guess they knew him, I never realized that. I was really young when Kanyon was in WCW so I wasn't a huge fan but I always liked his catchphrase.

    Thinking on his life. It should be very interesting.

    Flair is a dick and Dreamer deserves his punishment imo.

    I'm not sure anything can stick to Flair long term. The Flair pass probably just ain't from Vince. Wouldn't be surprised to see him get the Hogan treatment.

    As the Bert said, Dreamer is a dumbass here.

    Remember the shit storm over the May Young Classic? Definitely allot of people outside the bubble who aren't aware of wrestler's sordid pasts.

    I don't really care much for what Dreamer said, he showed no empathy and I don't agree with him but if that's his opinion then it is what it is and sometimes the editing of these things is made to make them look worse than they are if it's a snippet of a conversation or interview.

    Flair, Hall, Hayes, Perfect, Brock all way way worse and should be the brunt of anyone anger from this. That said this happened 20 years ago, I guess the question is how long do you continue to punish people for past transgressions?

    People change or people have been punished. I guess the answer is to weigh up what the punishments were and whether or not they escaped justifiable punishment. It's hard to argue Flair and Brock were justifiably punished due to how much of a asset to he business they were at the time.

    Dustin made an arse of himself but seems like he at least tried to stop Flair and what he did wasn't really harming anyone else but more making an arse of himself.

    The spiking thing is pretty horrid and I've read plenty about this happening in many a book but spiking someone with a assortment of drugs for a giggle is pretty deviant behaviour that seems to be seen as just a laugh still to this day (in past tense to what they were doing, not that it still goes on) and I think that's really really bad.


    Overall I don't think there was much new in there that hasn't been released before however if that's the first time you've heard about it then that would be pretty shocking.

    The bit that was left out about Dustin was in the lawsuit from the other flight attendant. Dustin groped her and threatened to rape her.

    Absolutely. Not sure about @Morrison though. He really wants to try and one up you at every turn. Pretty much his gimmick on here.

    Apparently flair is going to get it next week as well. Story is about Kanyon and highlights flair calling in when kayon was on stern and flair telling him he didn't get fired for his life choices (being gay) but basically because he sucked.

    I watched those clips yesterday and they’re heartbreaking. Kanyon was in such a bad place and Flair telling him he never had talent clearly broke his heart. Kanyon was the man, the absolute man. I hate that he was so scared of who he was…and then having these people shit on him…ugh.

    I've always wanted to know what Mick Foley wrote about Flair in the original manuscript of his auto biography before he had to take it out.

    I wish Kanyon had gotten a better run in WWE, but that can be said for quite a few people.

    Just watched the PRFH episode and yeah... Tommy's not looking good even after his well worded apology. Sure, he said sorry... but he still thinks eh to hell w/ the woman. What a flippant moron.

    He could have just not heard her side of the story, perhaps his opinion wouldn't have been so callus if he'd known what she put up with? Even so, can't say I'm a fan of the guy now.

    Without speaking to ill of the dead I can't say I disagree. The guy could work, he could definitely bump, but he wasn't very good on the mic and he was also around when WWE were still trying to bury the majority of WCW talent they brought over and put on tv. He started out hot but within a few months he was a non-factor.

    Mortis though.....Man that was a sick look! I was a fan of the Blood Runs Cold stuff, I didn't even care that Adam Bomb was now Shao Khan.

    As in there were other stories that he didn't include? Why would he have to take any out? Flair wasn't in WWF at this time, didn't Foley's book come out in 1999?

    Dreamer's well worded apology might help him some, but the damage he did to himself here is his own fault.

    Its a wonder that Flair has never been held accountable for any of his actions. He's a piece of shit.

    Whether Flair now gets the Hogan treatment is a fair question, but I doubt it. Main difference between this and Hogan is that everyone knew Flair was a sexist pig and lousy drunk, but few knew Hogan was a racist caught on tape using the n-word and admitting he was a racist. Not to condone either of them in any way.

    How many letters have you sent to WWE over the years concerning Ric Flair?



    It is weird how Flair has been given a pass on literally everything from calling wrestlers the N word to sexual assault. Even listening to Jim Cornette talking to one of the producers, JC starts defending Flair making excuses while shitting on Tommy Dreamer in the same conversation.

    Flair is the Joe Paterno of wrestling.

    Mick wrote a whole bunch of stuff about how shitty he'd been treated by Flair in WCW, but the editor (or whoever was reviewing the manuscript) told him he'd have to take it out. They wanted the book to be more professional and not have any personal attacks (or something to that effect). I don't have my copies anymore, but Foley wrote about it in the forward of either the first or second book.

    I've read the first book twice and he didn't exactly shy away from taking a crap on people like Marc Mero and Ric Flair. If the implication is that Foley had a bunch of stories concerning Flair's behavior as it relates toward this show I'd pump the brakes.

    If anyone needs to be looked at in terms of how they act toward women it's Foley. He's a fucking weirdo when it comes to women in the business. Playing the ol' big teddy bear gimmick.

    All I'm saying is that unless there were stories that were removed that are relative to the Dark Side episode I'm all ears. Or even one ear.

    But keep in mind, Foley didn't hold back in his book. That's what started the whole beef between him and Flair, all over what they said in each other's books.

    When I was younger I didn't realize Mortis and Kanyon were the same guy. I loved Mortis. I don't really remember Kanyon much besides the catchphrase, like I said before. I always loved the name flatliner for a finish move though and that's the move I would do on body pillows I would wrestle with.

    Heartbreaking episode to watch. That Taker chair shot was stiff but they all were at that point in time. I have a hard time thinking him singing Boy George was a coincidence though.

    Saw people trying to cancel John Cena because he said he didn't think Kanyon was any good. What's going on in the world today, people fighting, feuding, looting, it's ok, let it go, let it flow, let the good times roll.

    Was never a Kanyon fan but Cena saying he wasnt very good was his opinion or WWE coaching him but its ok to not think everyone is the greatest ever.

    The Boy George thing was weird, he “came out” of a box and then was told to sing with a lisp, I doubt that was a coincidence.

    It is interesting that after all of the progress wrestling has made there has yet to be an out gay man given a real push even at the mid card level. Maybe there arent any decent gay male wrestlers. The guy from the PTP was generic as fuck as was Orlando Jordan.

    Are you only talking about WWE? Because I think Fred Rosser is doing pretty good in New Japan from what I hear.

    From what I've come across, Effy seems to be killing it on the indies. I think Parrow's doing decently, as well. I think Jake Atlas showed a lot of potential during his time in NXT though he needed some work on the mic skills/personality side.

    Even though it is making news for tanking I enjoyed the FMW episode. Probably because I knew little about them so lots of new stuff on there for me.

    It made the AEW death match even more funny with how disastrous it was as well.

    XPW episode was not very good. Some of the interviewees only had one or two things to add to the story and they were never seen again. Lame. The thumb story was goddamn scary tho.

    On one hand, I get the opinion that these shows shine an unnecessary negative light on an industry already struggling in the mainstream. On the other, it's no different than E! True Hollywood Story, Behind the Music, etc. These episodes are very interesting to me. I have an idea of what most will be about. I'm not too familiar with the darkside of JYD so that's actually the one I'm looking forward to.

    The one that I'm probably not going to watch is Chris/Tammy. There's been so much with them and while it'll be "news" to a lot of fans who didn't really follow their careers like I have since the mid 90's, it's just tough for me as a super fan of their careers to watch.

    I do want to see if it is about the many portrayals of doink or an episode of Matt Bourne

    Here’s the Doink episode:




    Such a sad story. Great talent gone down a very wrong path and demons got the better of him. The daughter’s allegations towards his last wife Connie was uncomfortable to watch. Looks like she’s distraught looking for someone to blame.

    Never knew he had a beef with Duggan. As Foley said you’d have to make a real effort not to get along with him.

    Just watched the Bash at the Beach 2000 episode. Funny stuff. I was never a WCW guy so I never knew about this incident. Hogan sucks as a person so I find myself firmly on the side of Vince Russo and Jeff Jarrett. Maybe Bischoff is the more level headed guy in this story but I don’t care. Fuck Hulk’s creative control. Russo gave the people the better storyline.
