Mr.Showtime Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I knew absolutely nothing of Dino Bravo outside of the WWF so it was interesting to catch a small glimpse of his career before that. Admittedly though the episode peaked with, "You know who I am! I'MÂ THE MOUNTIE!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannibal Man Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Quite enjoyed that one, think because everyone came off so nice. Jacques was wonderful but you can see what Owens meant in those few shoots about how nobody at WWE has the patience for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord-Mountevans Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Obviously there was a lot of speculation to the motive behind the murder & the identity of the murderer? For me, it could have been a very simple reason why Bravo was killed? Perhaps if the Mafia were getting investigated, the best way to stop an investigation travelling upwards, towards the big boys is to cut the line of enquiry off. It could have been a case of the Mafia not wanting Bravo being questioned & possibly spilling the beans. So the trail is dead (literally) & that could explain why he let the murderer into his house because in his eyes, he has done nothing wrong.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted April 22, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 22, 2020 Dont they all know what happened, but they just lip service their way through it because nobody wants a bullet in the head? Its fairly cut and dry what happened, but nobody wants to open the can of worms. He tried to undercut them (he's a wrestler, afterall) and they blew his head off. Rick Martel had the best idea. Just dont appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you’re spot on Ian. I think if it was something along the lines of what Mountevans said then they probably wouldn’t have blasted him so many times. That was a message. He’d tried to fuck them over and someone was letting it be known what the consequences are for that. Martel, Ray Rougeau, Pierre Oulette and that lot have spoken about it a bit in shoot interviews before and it’s always been roughly the same story of Dino trying to have them over on a huge shipment of cigarettes. Edited April 22, 2020 by wandshogun09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaitoRyo Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Bit of a lighter episode this week, with no murder (attempted or otherwise). When I saw it was about the David Schultz/John Stossel incident I did wonder how they would string 45 minutes out of it but they did well and the episode was a breeze to watch. Stossel seems like quite the weasel who hasn't changed in over thirty years and Dr. D is still mental so hey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted April 29, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2020 I forgot its today!!!! I'll watch that now. I love Dr D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Justice Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Yes, a much better episode this week. A real cluster of cunts all round. I'd heard of Dr D, but was not familier with the incident at all. Do you think maybe they started too high this series with the Benoit episiodes? Everyone knows you don't put your main event on first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members theironshake Posted April 29, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted April 29, 2020 What I don't get is why it was so important to Stotssal to get the truth about pro wrestling. Why was it so important that some people thought it was real? I had no sympathy for Stotssal at all. As for Shultz he's a total carny and I love it. Austin before Austin in lots of ways. I found the comparisons with how Hogan treated Richard Belzer very interesting too. Back to form this week after two episodes that did very little for me.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted April 29, 2020 Moderators Share Posted April 29, 2020 The main event is Herb Abrams. UWF 4 life  Great episode. I love Dr D. He's a fucking loon, but he's straight as a die. Stossel is a right cunt though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
