Is that the Boston Blackie Bulldog?

I know Pitbull Anthony Durante did tour Europe as Mad Bull Buster, but I highly doubt he was here at this time given his role in ECW.

Is the guy with the mask at the back and a pink and black striped singlet supposed to be Mankind?

It's not a beard, it's dust off the ground from where the facewalkers have been!

That's Tony Atlas, as Roddy Piper once squealed.

It's Shane jumping into the pool with Steph as well, isn't it? Could I suggest it's Bucky Beaver on the mountain bike as well?

Doesn't really look like Emily Feinberg in the convertible, though, hair seems too short. Could she be the girl in the bright yellow bikini who lifts her sunglasses up on the beach? I had mates who would swear blind that was Elizabeth, when it clearly wasn't.

Looks like Lex Luger auditioning for Lost Boys!

I don't think he's looked that good before or since.

Junior Vaivai, a cousin of The Rock in one way or another, with Darren Young sporting a Hull Kingston Rovers vest 

Has Darren traded up from the Filipino twink he was taking around to Ellen with him?

It would have been incredible. I always loved his commentary because he'd make up things that made everything seem real but I wonder how much of that was him taking a shot at people. Like in the '89 Rumble when Axe gets tossed out and Monsoon suggests it's because he ran out of gas. Is that him trying to enhance the story or taking a shot at the guys age and condition? I'd imagine a book would have been filled with bitchy barbs and outright bullshit.

Given that he said Hulk had been in there for a good half hour and it was only ten minutes, he must've thought Ax had been in there for 45!

Dr Shawn Stasiak (a pretend chiropractor Dr) has been asking Vince for another run via social media. Would you do what’s apparently right for business and give Dr Shawn Stasiak another run? 

He could have a routine where he records someone recording people behind their back and then takes the recording to the other person to stir up shit.

Fucking state of Trent Seven. I know wrestling isn't about the physique's & such any more but after watching NXT-UK I was amazed that he's not been ripped apart on here. At least Kassius Ohno has the advantage of being a fucking massive bloke albeit in terrible shape. In his ring gear Seven just looks like a phone shop manager on holiday.

Also, the name of the team is Moustache Mountain, but going on that picture they look more like the Bumfluff Brothers.

Gorilla Monsoon's head was so big, that he once printed a tribute to Superstar Graham in a paper thinking he'd died and then refused to retract his statement. Because Gorilla can never be wrong.

Gorilla... wrong?

Highly unlikely!

When you've got a family so loyal to you that one of them will threaten jurors for you then you have to look after them as much as you can.

I'd be amazed if WCW hadn't looked at Yoko, to be honest. He was the kind of "monster of the month" heel they loved pre-nWo, and during the nWo angle he was a big name former WWF Champion that wasn't locked down to a contract anywhere.

When one of the earliest additions to the nWo was Virgil, and Beefcake was routinely slotted into major programmes, I don't think there was a single ex-WWF talent that Bischoff can realistically claim was beyond the pale.

Konnan talked about Eric's efforts to court Yoko back on MLW Radio a few years ago. I think Eric basically called him up and spoke to him as if it was a done deal he'd be happy to accept, like "So, when you coming on board?", and Yoko was offended by that because his family had years of goodwill established with the McMahons and he wasn't going to be so quick to betray it like that.

Or... Yoko was smart enough to see that they were basically sharpening the knives to stick in him and wasn't going to go for it.

I do think Bischoff is unfairly shit on because of how useless he became late 98 onwards. To me, he was always like an old footy manager who won the league by bringing in new ideas from La Liga and Serie A and spent a load of money on experienced players. From about 93 to 97, he was very much on the ball. Hiring Zane Bresloff, who was WWF's live events promoter, bringing in Hogan, flying to Japan every other week to take with their promoters, signing all those Luchadors, agreesively going at Big Balls Vince. Once his motivation had dried up, and other people lapped him, he was pretty much spent. Post 99, he was like Ron Atkinson or someone...

Except it was his top player (Hogan) who called someone the N-word and not him.

Any excuse to post this:

 

"Ladies and gentleman, the best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be... Bret 'The Frugal Canadian' Hart!"

My touchstone for how out of touch he is has to be when Chris Champion died and he talked about his 1989 Memphis gimmick with his brother Mark Starr as hair rockers Wild Side... which was of course named after the Terry Funk Western show, according to Dave.

Even though they came out to which Motley Crue song? Go on, have a guess.

I really don't know much about epilepsy - is there anything that can cause it [flashing lights?]? I am assuming he was otherwise okay afterwards?

In the first case, my mate started having epileptic fits when he was 12 or 13. He's about eighteen months older than me. About a year or so in to him having them, he was round my house one time and we were playing on the SNES and I'd just beaten him at some game and he started shaking and I thought he was just putting something on about having lost. Turned out he was having a fit, so had to run round his house to get his parents while my folks looked after him. He'd wet himself during it, poor fella.

He's subsequently had them over the next 25 years. He's not massive, but he's tall and filled out, so when he's gone down and hit the floor or something in his way he's knocked teeth out, which he's had repaired or replaced. The spasmodic effect caused him to rip up tendons in his shoulder at one point so he had to have surgery on that. Not nice for him at all.

We've made fun of the shape he's in, but something like that is never fun. I've been in the presence of people having epileptic fits before and it's quite scary to see it start happening.

Reminds me of when Rob Feinstein asked him what he thought of steroids...

"Love 'em!"

Pretty sure Wolfie D. said that he designed all the early NWA: TNA logos and the like.

I would imagine with the Amazing Red it's part of where he was born and the culture he was brought up in. I listen to a lot of Joey Diaz and he says fag a lot, but he clarifies it's not a knock on someone's sexuality, it's about their behaviour or how they conduct themselves, which I can get. It is hurtful, though, it's a bit like the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode where Larry calls the closeted gay guy a cunt inoffensively and it's the explosive point that makes the guy come out.

I've not heard of him working for years, probably since 3PW was around. The highlight of his career was when he was attacked by Shane Douglas while wearing a halo.

He looks tiny here, I always imagined him being a big guy.

If you ever see him and Tony Durante doing jobs for the likes of Rick Rude and the Hart Foundation in '89 or as the American Pitbulls in the NAWA in '90, they were always steroid midgets. No height, but loads of muscle mass packed onto their frames.

WWF Tag Team champs for 155 days after beating The Rockers at Wrestlemania 7 plus they held the WCW tag team belts on three occasions. Knobbs also had a singles run in WCW mainly hardcore matches from what I recall.  Think they are quite well known given the era they featured in. They opened up Summerslam 92 in the UK too.

The Hart Foundation.

It's alright to take the piss, though, because his mom obviously condones it if she's happy to let videos get out of him swearing at home:

Could've just been his chin and she thought it was his wrinkled scrotum.
