I remember watching that Horseman/dusty angle on a Saturday afternoon. I think that when ever Dusty wanted to be lazy, he'd shoot an angle where the Horseman broke something, arm/ankle, so he could do promos and vignettes for a month before main eventing a tour and taking all the $$. Lots of stories about Dusty fucking people out of money.

Old Pacific Northwest wrestling fan. How fucking nuts is Billy Jack Haynes??? I saw clips of his shoot interview on youtube (check em out) so I bought the dvd when a sale came around (Black Friday is usually up to 40% off at RFVideo. Billy claims Buzz Sawyer was killed, not a heart attack, because of some drug running shit they were involved in.

Magnum and Tully hating each other isn't much of a stretch at all. From what I've read and seen in interviews, everybody hated Tully. Coked up, arrogant, backstabbing weasel. Dude lived his gimmick. And like a true shit heel, now he's pimping god.

Rick Flair and Sting were the biggest beneficiaries of Magnum's car wreck. Sting got his top baby face spot, and Flair got to keep trading the belt around. Magnum was going to be NWA/WCW's Hogan style superhero. It is easier to rotate the evil villian of the month into feuds, than develop likeable baby faces to go after a heels belt. Heel champ was better in the territory days when you traveled town to town, going up against the most popular guy there.

Favorite Bloodbath as a Kid: Fantastics and Terry Taylor v Sheepherders and Jack victory in a cage made out of barbwire and 2x4s. Bill Watts UWF aired about 1986, but I don't know if that is when the match was from, they aired 1 hour current and 1 hour classics back to back Saturday nights. Ring was painted with courts of blood. It was like the Manson Family just had a ho down.

I'm getting as wordy as you Barry. Some one start breaking my balls and shut me up.

Edit: Sheik's heart still good, because he didn't juice. Beer, weed and coke, and he probably hasn't been able to afford a good coke habit in 15-20 years. His daughter gives him an allowance from his royalties, and he lives off SS and appearances. I think he gets $5000 to do a Monday Night Raw, which is Vince's version of charity.
