Did he brag to the checkout girls about all the fake bare-knuckle boxing tournaments he was in while working in recruitment?

I could live with Hayes managing them, although Lita was obviously the best fit. Gangrel and Terri offered nothing, but then I never thought that Terri was worth much after the Goldust split anyway. The PMS and she-devil stuff was the shits.

Sorry, which Flair photo's that?

Think it was this one:

Young love! They're only 18 and 21, you know!

Earthquake is the same age as Finn Balor in that photo. The road owned that poor fucker.

I love the Quake, but he looked 43 when he was 23:

The new Genius Cast with Lanny Poffo is well worth checking out, especially this week's episode featuring B. Brian Blair. Maybe a few fish stories, including a literal one, but overall pretty candid without being too vulgar: https://audioboom.com/posts/7017942-b-brian-blair-on-paul-orndorff-the-cauliflower-alley-club-shoot-fights-ribs-and-more

Unfortunate pause on this WCW porno I was watching.

Knowing Barb he probably is taking ol' Lightning Foot off to make some jailhouse love to him.

Is it possible that it's a preemptive approach to putting him in the hall of fame and then keeping him around as a legend in residence?

Well, well, well... he got fat quick.

Shane Douglas turned up as a jobber on the same ep, he wasnt Troy Martin but someone else. Great vignette of Sika and The Wizard in the jungle. Wizards one of my all time favourites. The voice on it, like a scarred up Brian Blessed with better vocabulary. 

Mike Kelly?

Nice to see Meltzer dressed up for his Hall of Fame induction today at that weird Wrestling Media Convention in Manchester.

He might be the oddest man alive.

Should've got Ole Anderson in to induct him and take the piss out of his gear.

I think Corny ended up meeting him at a convention and got on with him so eased up, but at the time he was jumping up and down on him as a "conservative Christian cocksucker".

This weeks Mae Young Classic themed Hidden Gems:

* Victoria v Mercedes Martinez - WWE Heat 12/6/2006

* Madusa & Meiko Satamura v Akita Hokuto & Kaoru - WCW Worldwide 9/2/97

The ladies tag match lasts about four minutes and really shows off how far Bobby Heenan was pushed down at that point, pretty much relegated to the Bruno spot of doing the instant replay and not being able to name the moves.

Some people have said it is, but no way is humourless Linda McMahon appearing in a vignette that comes out of her having had the diarrhoea shits.

A Diesel "bed buddy" would be a Korean dancer, wouldn't it?

Meltzer is at it again with his total lack of pop culture awareness while eulogising someone in the wrestling business, this time promoter Ed Cohen.

Referring to his return to work after his at least fourth bout with cancer (he'd had it three times at least between ages 17 and 37): "I remember when he came back... it was, um... it was like... he was like... I think he used the analogy, it's like Captain Kirk coming back to run the Enterprise, or something. I'm pretty sure that's what he told me. I just remember that... it was a Star Trek reference, anyway, and being in the chair, that would be Captain Kirk, right?"

Nah, Luke Skywalker, Dave, what do you think?

On the flipside to that, Beautiful Bobby has got to be the least fitting. 

I think the reasoning was that it's after Alabama the Beautiful.

Yeah, seems pretty obvious to me, as funny as it is in the match. Certainly no worse than people like Adrian Adonis going to hit Roddy Piper with hedge clippers and him moving and them bouncing out of the corner and back into his face. Think Diesel did the same thing in his last match with Shawn Michaels in '96.

Dave believes we live in a place with people with nicknames like "the frugal Canadian".

I want to say it's Kevin Nash that complained that some people in wrestling and some fans and people on the periphery of wrestling cannot see things through anything other than the wrestling filter, and I think Dave is the perfect example of that. It isn't in this clip, but he nails him so good: 

Listening to Meltzer and Alvarez eulogising Chris Champion, with Dave claiming the tag team he was in with his brother in Memphis (Wild Side) was named after the short-lived show Terry Funk was on...

Yeah Dave, nothing to do with this:

Cactus Jack was Mr. Bump.

Michael Hayes and Scott Hall really should've been Mr. Bump!

I've got a WCW book somewhere that I got given as a kid that's basically just that Blackman page with everyone from the '92 or '93 period. Off the top of my head the only thing I remember is that Arn Anderson said his favourite food was steak and potatoes, The Freebirds listed shagging among their interests and that sometimes i'd read it and imagine having Johnny B Badd or Big Josh over for tea and being able to knock it out of the park because of this handy guide

Didn't it make a habit of calling people "Mister (fill in the blank)", so you had something saying Bobby Eaton was "Mister Beautiful", Michael Hayes was "Mister Sexy", and so on?

From WWF Magazine presumably. God I love Steve Blackman.

With that era I can imagine they actually sat down and asked him as opposed to the ones they used to write that were basically the wrestler in character, for example the Million Dollar Man's favourite colour would be green and his favourite hobby would be counting money.

I always thought that Doc Dean and Robbie Brookside, as the Liverpool Lads, were basically the British version of the Rockers without any costumes when it came to how good they were in the ring as teen idol good guys. Both nice guys when I had the chance to meet them at a local theatre where they were wrestling.

It was on her youtube channel, but she's changed it about 50 times. There's a few interviews with her on youtube, so it'll be on one of those.

Sorry if I've missed this earlier in the conversation, but is the lady being discussed Angel Amoroso?
