Pier Six Brawler

Lawler throws fire at Funk at their match this past weekend:

Anyone got either the Backlund book or Bill Apter's book yet?

Duggan hates Austin, always goes off on him whenever he's mentioned. Always goes on about the wife-beating but I'd imagine there's a bit of jealousy there too, Austin's working-man gimmick was similar to Duggan's Mid-South and early WWF gimmick before they dumbed him down with the tongue sticking out and boz-eyes. Duggan could have been a lot bigger than he got, but he was hindered by the fact that both Hogan and Dusty were nailed into their top spots in the big 2 promotions.

I find Cornette's podcast unlistenable. And I was always a fan of his. Jericho is probably the best wrestler podcast, the one with Lance Storm, Don Callis and Dr Luther was hilarious.

It's never been released on ebook.

They both do. Far less trashy and more classy.

I find most of the British podcasts to be unlistenable tbh.Even when the subject sounds interesting, I download them, start listening and about 5 minutes later have to turn them off.

They used to call the Samoan drop the fallaway slam (or reverse fallaway slam, I can never remember which one is the reverse one) when Tatanka did it. Was it called a Samoan drop before that but they thought it'd be confusing to have the Injun doing that, or did it only get called the Samoan drop later on?

Fallaway slam is the move Razor Ramon used to do. Holds the opponent horizontally in front of him then throws then falls back and throws them over his head.

I seem to remember one of the Sheepherders claimed to be the original Tiger Mask (or it may have been the original Black Tiger) in New Japan?

Manny Fernandez tells loads of lies, including having fought in Vietnam despite being too young to do so. I think at what point he claimed to have been former NFL player too (there was a player with the same name but different guy).

I honestly think some Labour voters are happier in opposition being able to criticise everything the Tories do, rather than being in power and having to make the inevitable compromises that come with running the country.

WCW version of the Kid Rock "Desire" History of WWE video from 2002. Seriously worth watching for those that have not seen it.

Well hopefully it won't be an origin film, and it really can't be if they're setting it after a Captain America movie where Spidey is already an established hero. But then again, the age of the actor makes me think they'll do the origin story AGAIN.

So is Spider Man part of the Marvel Cinematic universe now? If that's the case, he's ridiculously young for the role.

Do we really need ANOTHER Spider-Man reboot? There's been two in the last 13 years.

Kanyon's book is very good.

Mad Max 4 is the best film this Millennium so far for me. Incredible stuff.

Is it Remo Williams?

The football result is the classic episode everyone remembers but my favourite is probably the night before the wedding when most of it is shot in the one room.

I am a massive fan of the Likely Lads but that episode always struck me as strange and really out of character. Two 30 year old geordie blokes in the 70s spending the night before one of them's wedding sentimentally going through a box of toys and then spending the night together in bed? Really?

Really great series though. 70s was certainly the best decade for British sitcoms and maybe for British TV in general.

I'm really enjoying Kevin Sullivan's podcasts on MLW lately. The man clearly knows his onions when it comes to booking wrestling, crying shame there isn't a spot open for him nowadays.

Who was that Asian girl who used to read the news on "RI:SE"?

Are the Blood Red turns Dollar Green books any good?

Apparently Daniel Bryan is ranked #1 in this years PWI500. Grado is #500.

Bored of reading about WrestleManias, there's nothing new to hear about them. I'd rather have a book about something that hasn't already been covered ad nauseum
