The plane ride from Hell was a fucked up situation. How many people other than Goldust were fired because of that? Perfect?

Looks like they’re scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
Season four:
The Outrageous Gags of Mister Fugi
Greg Gagne’s Tall Tales of the AWA
The Day King Kong Bundy Slammed A ‘Midget’
Blading in Pro Wrestling Unveiled!
How to do a drop kick with Don Muraco
Bad News Brown Stain*
*Andre The Giant Diarrhea Incident
Obviously, you’ve already heard all of Gagne’s stories as we all have....
as far as them ‘all’ being ‘incredible’, that’s a matter of opinion, not fact based on who is or isn’t hip to what you consider to be incredible or that makes them ignorant.
My point simply was and is that the third year seems to be slipping in terms of ‘behind the curtain’ type of storytelling to general knowledge stories all wrestling fans know.
Theres only so many Snuka’s, Benoits, Bruiser Brody, Von Erichs, Dino Bravos et all, etc. out there to do behind the scenes horror stories on.
I don't mean ignorant in a bad way, I'll use the word "not familiar" with some of these topics then you might write them off. It was just a general statement toward people who are not familiar with stuff like FMW, Nick Gage, Plane Ride from Hell, you'd have to be a pretty big fan of wrestling to know any of that stuff.
I'll be honest, these shows are cool but they don't do the business any favors because it's such a niche product. It's like when people hear heavy metal, most just assume it's long haired tatted up devil worshippers. People see this show and it just adds to the stereotype that wrestlers are pretty much piece of shit psychopaths for the most part.
But as a fan, these are great. If you're just wanting the same 10 stories that have been told 340 different ways in the last 20-30 years, this ain't for you. If you're willing to expand your knowledge, this is good. I mean, YOU might feel negative about say the XPW episode and then you watch it and become a fan--I hope you don't, XPW was terrible but until we see these shows drop who knows. For me, The Dino Bravo episode wasn't fascinating at all. He was a low card talent and his death was what it was. I doubt even a casual who remembered him from 1988 had been wondering whatever happened to Dino Bravo lol.
They're not for the casual who only knows Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, and John Cena.
