Yeah, Bolsheviks were pretty jobtastic, it would have been pretty wild for them to have the titles even for a quick transition reign. I struggle to remember them beating anyone. A quick trip through thehistoryofwwe.com indicates that they spent most of their time jobbing to The Bushwhackers.

I think pro wrestling referee is the single most incompetent profession.

Its a shitty sentence but gets the point across entirely.

I'd argue it's the table makers for The Spanish Announce Table

I get that reference. I listened to that album so many times. 13 year old me loved anything to do with wrestling

I'm always curious to hear just exactly how bad of a singer Bret Hart is. I saw him give an interview where he talked about that song that he ends up narrating, and they had wanted him to sing. He was working with Simon Cowell, and kept reassuring him, "No, dude, I can't sing." And Simon kept pushing back and saying, "No, try it. Just try it." Eventually Bret relented and sang for him, and Simon said, "Okay, you were right, let's do it your way."

I just listened the the TLF WMX episode a few days ago and they play Bret's entire song from WM: The Album. Just horrible.

I think I've mentioned before but I also bought and enjoyed the Slam Jam album from WCW

On the bright side, I just discovered that this video exists.

That's amazing. And given he's talked about all his extramarital stuff, I just picture him cheating on Julie with them.

I like that he just goes to fancy restaurants in his Hitman singlet.

12/25/81 Mid-South. Paul Orndorff reverses Brian Blair's figure-four and then really cranks on the reversed figure-four until the referee calls the match off despite Blair not submitting.

I had always wondered whether the figure-four reversal ever actually won a match. It didn't draw a voluntary submission here, but that's maybe the closest thing I'll find since that's still a submission victory.

In 1990, WWF wrote Rick Rude off TV by suspending him for his repeated insults of the Boss Man's mother.

I love that, in late 1993, Boss Man shows up in WCW and his first action is to ambush Rude. Clearly he hadn't gotten over those "yo momma" jokes from three years prior.

I've ~slept through the first 44 episodes of RAW over the last several days.

Somehow I've caught like 12x the amount of Doink the Clown and IRS as I have Undertaker/Bret Hart.

A lot of Ludvig Borga (RIP) which is great.

I also happened to catch Gorilla throwing Heenan out onto the street. I remember seeing that live.

Can't believe I was 6 years old for all this stuff.

Vince was truly a gem.

One of the highlights of the first year was in episode 8 or 9 when Rob Bartlett played the role of "Not Vince McMahon" for the duration of the broadcast. Some funny stuff!

I saw he was like a Parliamentary figure, but didn't read much about it.

Wasn't he like a real life Nazi? (Yes, I realize I could google this too.)

Yeah, here's Jim Ross:

Quote:

On Ludvig Borga having a Nazi tattoo on his calf: “I guess somebody saw him in the shower. I didn’t have guys do body cavity searches or nothing man. Nobody dropped their drawers in my offers. I ain’t Harvey Weinstein here. We found out about it and of course the deal was, I even think, if I’m not mistaken, he was wearing boots that were low cut and he had a very diminutive SS tattoo. It wasn’t huge. It wasn’t overbearingly large. But it was there. So I think the discussion was, the discussion should have been, we can’t use you, because if we do, we’re basically condoning the Holocaust, that’s how I looked at it. And I didn’t think that was anything we wanted to be compared to. So he got different boots and covered it up. There might have been a handful of times, before he got new boots, that that was even seen there. But it was very uncomfortable and he was uncomfortable and he was untalented, but he had a million dollar look.”

Halme’s controversial 1998 biography, God Forgives, I Do Not, and its 2001 follow-up The Day of Judgment’ would announce his homophobia and racism to the world. In one especially horrible passage about his time in prison, he details saying the following to a black prisoner:

"Hey, monkey. Even if I am the fattest person in the world, I can always get skinny, but the skin does not turn white even when washed."

By all accounts he seems to have been a despicable person.

They uploaded 1983 MSG house shows as this month's classic content drop. Includes some good historic stuff like Sheik taking the title from Backlund and the famous Muraco/Snuka cage match.

I sure wish they would do something to fill in 1990/1991. It's odd that, this many years after the Network was rolled out, there's still almost no weekly TV from WWF or WCW in those years.
