The most visible one beyond Ed Leslie is probably Brian Knobs, he's still milking it to this day. Not sure about Blair, but at the time he was in the company I think pretty much everyone was trying to be Hulks boy for political purposes. I honestly don't know much about him personality wise, haven't really cared enough to look either haha.

Just saw a glimpse of him this morning in a tag with Vader against Sting and someone else and he looked so fucking cool!

He’s been in every major fed. Dude wrestled almost identically to Big Boss Man, even used the Boss Man Slam as a finisher (whenever he actually won a match).I thought he was great as Jericho’s enforcer in WWF back in ‘99.

I have zero memory of him with Jericho and I was a big Jericho fan then. Wow. I was just impressed his glasses stayed on in the clips I saw http://www.instagram.com/reel/CtmFAJ0AWC-/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

AEW Collision is actually good.
Pat coming through with the clips as usual. You rule dude.Hughes was a football player back in the 80s and was trained by one of the midwest OGs, I think Geigel or Les Thatcher and wrestled for Vern for a little while before going to Atlanta, which is where I first saw him. Then once Vince got ahold of him they gave him the gimmick that I guess was supposed to be a hitman but as a kid I just thought he dressed like a blues brother.Really athletic and could move for a big man, but as was mentioned he wrestled like a Bossman pallette swap. If he was around nowadays I could see him doing wardlow style step up moonsaults and Keith Lee spots, he had that kind of athleticism but the style was so different back then and his matches could get really plodding and punchy kicky with the wrong opponent. He did look cool as fuck back when he was huge but I saw him at an Indy show like 15 years ago and he was still super tall but is much skinnier now.
Best wrestling Insta page:@hamandeggersYou won’t be disappointed.
Loved the Andrade / Buddy match, felt like a redo of his debut and the crowd was appropriately hot for him. Like the idea of him going against Malachi, but curious if building a stable around Andrade is the way they’re going so he competes for Trios. Can’t keep track of all the lucha alliances in AEW at the moment and Bandido is out injured
I listened to a couple of Chris Jericho's on Stampede stuff, I liked it, not bad. I'll revisit Cornette's as well. The shit is all still pretty fascinating to me, the roll of the booker, how much everyone got paid, the deals that were made.

[close]I just saw Jim Ross released a new one called The Dark Side of Midsouth. Im gonna listen to it when I get a chance. Apparently there's stories of back when he first broke in as Watts' right hand man and old blind Leroy McGuirk was still around. I guess JR owns a pot farm and is opening a dispensary (like every other person in Oklahoma) nowadays. I don't typically love the Conrad podcasts but I really enjoyed the Bruce Pritchard Houston wrestling episode so hopefully it's similar.Watched the end of dynamite, Eddie looks awful and I wish he would stop caring so much about not caring and drag his ass to a gym because he genuinely looks like he's at risk of a heart attack. How can you take a guy like that seriously? He looked like someone's create a wrestler in a wrestling game cutscene. The continuous run ins were a little hokey but I did like them making Ospreay look like the final boss. Hope he actually beats Kenny, that might elevate him to legit main event status.

I rolled my ankle jacking off on a ladder.
I would’ve wanted Punk Vs Kenta, but Kojima should be good.I hope Sting and Darby’s mystery partner isn’t Goldberg.

Let’s just call it.Also @busey Doink episode ruled. Had no idea about how physically aggressive he was. The story about him attacking Blair three times at the bar was wild.

I also had no clue he was a second generation wrestler. I do remember being a kid & the owner this wrestling store I would go to told me that “the original Doink is a drug addict” & not knowing much.

I do have a Doink figure that my grandparents got me & definitely was so excited when you could be home in Wrestlemania on PS 1.
