I like Popeye's but it can't hold a lick to local places.
Did he take a dump in your popcorn?

Not from Calgary to my knowledge. If I were to list every Hart or Storm trainee then it would be a much longer (and better) list.
Also, Jinder and Teddy Hart are both rad in person. Both as wrestlers and as humans.

No, but he kept telling people to be quiet during the movie even though no one was talking. I didn't understand what his problem was at the time but when I started watching WWE again I realized he hears voices in his head.

In his radio interviews, he seems like a pretty normal guy. To be honest, all the guys who are currently in WWE seem pretty normal, it's when they get old, they become bitter and start hating life.

Bad News really should have been a bigger star than he was. Dude was a great wrestler, legit badass, great look, great talker. He really would have been great as the first black world champion.

Yeah he was in a bad time frame really - by the time he got to WWF, he was a little older and fatter and I guess it was too much. He could talk like hell and bust his ass in the ring. I liked him.
I was surprised how much Andre the Giant loved him.
Rewatching shitty era WCW, I think as a child I didn't appreciate Disco, Scott Steiner, and Buff. Like, yeah, Buff is annoying as fuck and not a very good wrestler, but at least he fucking tries. At least he comes off as enthusiastic about his fucking job.
Where as little kid me was like 'Yeah Sting!' but now I watch it and can only think of Sting like I think of shoot Bret Hart. Where I'm like 'can someone please kick this old man off tv if he's just going to be bitter and phone it in the entire time?' And Disco's a better wrestler than I remember. I really like his matches with some of the luchadores.
Andre respects those who don't act like pussies around him. I can't remember who I watched the interview of but they wrestled Andre and Andre would stiff the fuck out of new guys to see how they react. The guy came backstage and said like, 'hey man, why'd you fucking stiff me?' and Andre saw that as a sign that he wasn't a spineless wuss, so he said 'No problem, boss. Won't happen again.'
Where as now Dolph Ziggler would get on twitter and @Andrethegiant this big bully hit me! so much for #bastar

I loved Bad News and he did have a great look. He should have gotten more higher prestige feuds than he ended up having which was like what, maybe 2 or 3?

My dad also snuck us in (or maybe it was open to the public, i don't know, i just went with what my dad told me) and saw someone throw something at konna while it was filming. Good times

You son of a bitch
Actually Idaho is pretty awesome and a great place to raise a family. Just not a good spot to make your mark
BROTHERRRRRRR!
The town I lived in in Cali was 1500 people. It was awesome.

Worth giving, I love Baggie Nober.
I might come across as a huge dick but I don't understand this fascination with making dead pet threads in OT. Like I get posting it in a community thread where you know and talk to people. But making a thread about it serves no purpose other than for people to file in and do sad face emotes.

Hey man, sometimes when you lose someone close, you have nowhere to turn to talk about it. I'm going to be crushed the day it happens. I don't know if I'd make a thread but for some people it's cathartic.
I have a tough time deciding if I'm going to click on them. If the OP includes a picture I end up crying at work. It's rough.
There was a group of about 8-10 people here, during the Attitude Era, that put on backyard wrestling shows. Everyone in it had knock-off names of wrestlers in WWF at the time. The fat dude in it was named Jameser instead of Vader and there was a guy scrawnier than Peter Avalon that named himself The Heartbreak Boy or something similar. The video store here would rent their tapes out for free before the store went out of business. I wish I had bought those tapes when the store was clearing out because they would be great to put on Youtube now.

Since when does WWE have shows in Aberdeen, Washington?
Yeah I had to put my dog down about a year ago and someone made a thread about having to do the same thing on the same day. It was nice to have a place to talk to someone else who was having to deal with he same thing at the same time. Plus, GAF is by and large a pretty supportive place so I think it helps make people comfortable with posting that kind of stuff in OT and expecting to see a bunch "lol ur dogs ded" kind of posts.
