on the Metzler piece

Shortly thereafter, a scandal involving W.W.F. office employees who were accused of sexual impropriety was sandwiched by two steroid trials that threatened to fold McMahon’s business and send him to prison. McMahon’s cooperation ebbed, but Meltzer’s coverage of these dramas was inexhaustible, as it was for entries that took on a morbid regularity: eulogies for deceased wrestlers, many of whom were younger than 50, and many of whom Meltzer had counted as friends.

There was a sexual harassment lawsuit filed where there were allegations made that young guys were forced into doing stuff otherwise they would lose their jobs.

This chat show from the 90s had an episode about it. About half way through there are a bunch of people from the wrestling industry up on the stage. Vince and Dave Meltzer are sitting next to each other for it. On a radio show on the observer site Meltzer mentioned that during a break Vince turned to him and said "well, this is the longest half hour of my life"

Crazy that Meltzer works 110 hour weeks. He never takes a break. I guess its good that he makes quite a bit of money for it at least.

I'm pretty sure I just saw Road Dogg in the airport, first wrassler I've seen in real life. Weird feeling.

I remember I went to Ozzfest and Chris Jerhico and Bubba Ray Dudley walked right by me.
I was just like.......woooahhhhh. They looked pretty damn huge, and I was working out at the time.

I think I also saw Chris later that same day trying to get in the lower area without having a proper ticket.

I'm sure it's not a problem these days!

I remember seeing Batista in the Best Buy I worked at years ago. He was buying a camera or camcorder in the Digital Imaging department. He wasn't as tall as I thought he would be.

Or at least get a Kaneflower tag linking to that picture.

I think you'd actually find that most AJ pictures and gif's are not posted by me. It's just your perception. :S

So Sami Callihan was pulled from a Japan tournament he was scheduled for later in the month. We know he's taking medical testing for a possible WWE contract, so sounds like he's most likely getting offered one soon.

After all the deathmatches he's done, medical issues were a lot more likely than other guys they've signed, so good news I think.

Nor Cal Newcastle upon Tyne. It was only once and I suspect that this JnB either has a lot of visits from a district manager or gets a lot of secret shoppers because they always have long, scripted greetings and farewells. It went something like this:

"Hello, welcome to Jack in the Box, I'm blah, blah blah blah. Would you like to try our new Hot Mess burger?"

"Um... yeah."

"Hot mess! Hot mess! Hot me-e-e-essssss!"

-awkward silence-

"Your total is blah blah at the first window."

The thing with the old days when divas were allowed to be sexy, Vince always found away to ruin it somehow.

HLA? Bring 2 beefy guys to beat the shit out of them when things got good.

Bud light girls with Stacy and Torrie? Unpants the Coach when things get good.

Sexy pillow fight? Have King stand in the middle of the fucking ring so things would never get good.

And countless other examples, it's like they're trying to shame and make fun of their viewers.

WHY DO YOU DENY ME MY BONER VINCE? HUH?!!! ;_;

Are people in this video laughing at the idea of men being forced to sleep with other men or am I misinterpreting the laughter in the beginning? That's pretty fucked up.

Different times, it IS fucked up, but a lot of the "scandal!" things of the 80s and even 90s had being gay as a dark, evil, fucked up thing and people would joke about it and be shitty. We've come a long way (and still have a ways to go.)

Not my dreams.

Kane-centric question because we're all ON KANE at the moment.

What was Kane's feud right after his debut feud with Taker? What did he move on to next? My memory is hazy.
