Paid Members BigJag Posted May 30, 2021 Paid Members Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) I thought the A&E show was better this week. It seemed to have more information. Best part of the DSR show was Hellwigs' ex wife, providing her insight. Both shows skip over sections of Warriors' career. There are areas that could have been delved into a bit more. Aswell as his time in Mid-South and WCCW. His relationship with Sting is one area which needed more extrapolation.I'm finding the DSR shows to be a bit of a chore. Aside from the Pillman episode. I think it's largely due to Jerichos' voice over. I find it irritating and overly scripted. Very unnatural. Edited May 30, 2021 by BigJag Quote
IronSheik Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 You can tell when Jake Roberts is lying, his lips move. I thought Warrior's ex-wife came across very well in the Dark Side doc. Very authentic. Neither doc addressed the male prostitute rumours that made the National Enquirer, wonder if that means the rumours are just bullshit with zero credibility or whether they were protecting Warriors girls from embarrassment?

He mentioned on twitter he'd provided some footage I think. Quote
Keith Houchen Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 The Warrior one reminded me of the Dynamite Kid one. In that it was a happy ending because the horrible cunt died. Quote

Jake and Warrior toured Germany together in 1993 and were in the WWF together in 1996 so that Hall of Fame wasn't even the first time they saw each other after Warrior "screwed" Jake by getting himself fired and not losing the belt to Jake after Summerslam 91 even though Warrior had already lost the belt 8 months earlier to Slaughter at the Rumble Jake bullshit anecdote #178: In the repeated story he’s told about the 1991 TV taping where the cobra was to bite Savage and approached Jake about having it bite him first so Savage would see if it had been devenomised, Jake supposedly quotes Savage.... ”Maybe he has and maybe he hasn’t, stranger things have happened in the WWE somebody wants the Macho Man’s WWE Intercontinental Title and you put a f*cking poisonous snake on him and the rest is history. Macho’s dead, Snake’s the champ’.” Would that be the IC title Savage hadn’t worn in over 4 years, Jake? God bless old wrestlers re-writing history.

Cannibal Man Posted May 31, 2021 Posted May 31, 2021 Disappointing one this, wasn't after a burial or anything but JR and Cornette felt pretty unecessary and completely wasted time talking about shite both of them know doesn't matter at all. Both of them would have been around in some capacity when Warrior went through Mid South and Memphis wouldn't they? Best either of them could do was whinge about his promos and a free waste of time to Arizona and back. JR probably just still annoyed Blade Runner Rock was the most successful Mid South alumni. His first wife was great, whole thing humanised Warrior better than Self Destruction or the A&E one managed to too, I thought. Don't think a guys ever had a worst post wrestling look than Warrior though. Not one haircut or beard that fucker gave himself ever looked right. That shot of him in his suit with the goatee and long hair was the highlight of all that, that or that old video of him going berserk at the college and everyone cheering him like fucking Eric Morecambe or somebody whenever he says something stupid. Also, did he have absolutely no fucking mates? Unless i'm forgetting there wasn't anybody on there apart from his ex obviously who was just his mate. It reminded me of that Chevy Chase roast where nobody shows up because he was a cunt for years. Quote

Paid Members Thunderplex Posted June 4, 2021 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2021 Just watched the Grizzly Smith episode. Very disturbing. Frightening how people just turned a blind eye to this scum bag. Quote
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted June 4, 2021 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2021 I genuinely won't be able to watch that episode. I kind of cherry pick the Dark Side episodes I want to watch, as I am admittedly far too sensitive and weepy, and I think if I watched last nights' episode, I'd be walking about looking like the embodiment of a diminished 7th or D-Minor chord for a few days. It's an awful, awful subject and I know enough about it to know I won't be able for that particular episode. Like, when I watched the Pillman one - who's probably my all time favourite wrestler - I was absolutely fucking devastated (and can feel my bottom lip go out and throat start to close up even thinking back to it) listening to Pillman Jr talk about his experiences after his dad passed. That poor lad. Honestly, fucking haunted me for days. In saying all that, I'm really looking forward to the Plane Ride from Hell episode. Quote
Paid Members Thunderplex Posted June 4, 2021 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2021 I’d avoid this one if that’s the case buddy. Quote
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted June 4, 2021 Paid Members Posted June 4, 2021 I read a full synopsis of the episode and that was more than enough for me. Honestly the whole thing is just horrifying and somehow worse than I expected it to be. Quote
DavidB6937 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 I wish I'd read a synopsis and stopped there. Fucking hell. Quote
Cannibal Man Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 (edited) wall to wall grim this one, but in the middle that clip of Jake talking about being sat off in a motel with a lamp on his head and then the subsequent dramatisation of that with him going WAHEY arms in the air on a fucking couch. I've honestly been thinking of it more than anything else. Edited June 4, 2021 by Cannibal Man Quote
