It seems a bit controversial to include Stone Cold footage in there considering the podcast issue but it was great nonetheless. He was one of my favorites when I was a kid. I haven't watched wrestling in a long time but I missed the old days when I saw the news of his death. Sometimes you don't realize you've lost something until you want it back. RIP RRP.

It was a **** move to cancel Roddy's podcast just because a high rated over sensitive podcaster had a hissy fit over getting mildly ribbed.

If it were performed in BDSM outfits while shooting pyro in front of a live audience.

It's often corny and predictable. And yet captivating. It's Shakespeare in a VFW hall for common folks (and many others).

Even when you know it is predetermined, and that the performers are working together instead of really trying to beat each other up to the point that they can barely move, it manages to impress when done right by masters of the art form.

Like a circus from the 1600s. In Patagonia.

I like classic movies, which might be foreign to wrestling fans. To each her own, I guess.
