The documentary Beyond the Mat came out over 20 years ago and Jake the Snake is still alive. Amazing 

Have you watched The Resurrection of Jake the Snake Roberts? Really, really good. It's remarkable that the guy is still around and doing well. Still as articulate as ever.

I was pretty much over wrestling by the Ultimate Warrior era, but I will say during the last 20 minutes of the Biography show, it got mighty dusty in my house. 

It seemed to paint a much more complex picture of the man than the Dark Side of the Ring episode. 

Sad that he died as soon as he found his best life.

Grizzly Smith was giant piece of shit that has led to tragic lives of all his children. Just devastation that continues to haunt him. No telling how many victims he had on the road. Just stopping along the way and picking up random 14 year old girls for the weekend. What's even more fucked up is the parents that would willingly let them go with him. He groomed the parents as well as the kids.

Last night's on the Dynamite Kid was really good. I wasn't as familiar with him since he was before my time. A lot of parallels between between he and Benoit are remarkable.

Man, this Dark Side of the Ring is incredible.  Watching the Montreal Screw Job.  Holy shit.

Agreed now Dark Side of Football has to be done by different people cause it’s fucking terrible in comparison.

Shit I missed it. I'll pull it up and watch this week. I really wish the Dark Side guys would've done this one. 

The Chyna deal was pretty good but just plain sad.  She really spiraled downward pretty quickly.  

Anybody watching the WWE lost treasures shows that are on A&E where they try and find old collectibles from the wrestlers?  Last nights was a Ric Flair episode and it was really good as they show a lot of stuff from Ric’s whole career.  One thing I learned was that Conrad guy that did the interviews on Dark Side of the Ring Confidentials is married to Ric Flairs daughter.  He is the big heavy guy with the beard that interviews the two guys that make Dark Side.  I never knew who he was but apparently he is a huge wrestling collector and also part of the Flair family.  It seems he out kicked his coverage with marrying her.

I did know that. I've been listening to his podcasts for years now. He has pods with Bruce Prichard (Brother Love), Jim Ross, Eric Bischoff, Arn Anderson, Jeff Jarrett, Tony Schaivone, and Kurt Angle. Dude also has a very successful mortgage lending company. 

Outkicked his coverage, meh...

So who watched the 2-hour Chyna episode? 

Fuck, man. 

Watched it yesterday.  That was brutal...that 'documentary' crew was a bunch of sorry MFers. She obviously needed help and they didn't do shit for her. 

And Triple H was a piece of shit to her as well. Joking about the 'financial upgrade' with Howard Stern was classy...jeesh

So basically Triple H fucked her, lived with her and did massive amounts of drugs with her but believed putting her in the WWE hall of fame would trouble the kids he had with the daughter of the CEO of the WWE because she did some porn. Did I get that right?

Replace HHH with X PAC for the drugs part. HHH doesn’t even drink.

This. I just watched the Chyna show and it kind of gives that impression, but it was Shawn Michaels and Sean Waltman doing the drugs.

Just got around the watching the Chyna show.  It was not the most uplifting show that I've watched to say the least.

Is it just me or is Stephanie McMahon beginning to resemble Chyna?

Ha I had the same thought!  Was like wow Steph is starting to look like 2015 Chyna a lot!  And def Steph from like 1997-2002 was wheel fucking house.

Anyone catch Dark Side of the '90s last Thursday on Baywatch? Pretty fun trip down memory lane. Lot of later fuckups in that cast. 

No. If Evan and Jason aren't involved, I'm not interested. Dark of Side of Football was horrid.

Has anyone checked out Heels on Starz? About an small time Indie promotion in Georgia and the family who runs it? 3 episodes so far.

Yup to Heels.  Not bad so far but I am not expecting much out of that show.  Interesting looking at a family business/indy wrestling deal in small town Georgia.

I feel the same. I went in not expecting a lot. It's been okay. The fake southern accents are horribad, though.

Yeah, season overall hasn’t been very good since the plane ride episode, but losing your thumb to garden shears certainly can’t be fun. 

Too damn many episodes about extreme wrestling and death match stuff. 

I thought the Luna Vachon episode was pretty good, though.

Exactly.  They have kind of lost me on that extreme stuff.  I would prefer to watch about wrestlers I have heard of.

Tuesday at 9, first episode covers Memphis. 
 

I gotta watch. We moved to Memphis in 71 when the wrestling scene was basically the Saturday morning studio show and the primary guys were Jackie Fargo, Don and Al Green, and the heels were the usual collection of Nazis, Japanese, and communists. Jerry Lawler came around about 73 as a heel but soon flipped. Everyone watched it. In college we’d go to the matches on Monday nights sometimes to cheer for the heels, and I got to know Tojo Yamamoto and Professor Tanaka as they ate at this little burger joint I frequented. One a hero, Tojo a face, they were good friends and had lots of stories. The whole Lawler-Andy Kaufman story ring was masterful to watch as it played out. Is that real? Did Jerry just knock the shit out of him on letterman? Is it all a bit?

My Maytag rep was a wrestling referee during that period. He stayed for when the started getting involved with the hidden razor blades and bleeding but quit when they wanted to start hitting him with folding chairs and other shit.
