Vader was a cunt. He fucked up alot of jobbers with his ring performance. He even didn't bother. Washing his tights or the mask. Dirty bastard.

- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal (himself) to a troll.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never shown this video footage during any of his media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergencies (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.

I was always surprised they decided to make Terry funk “chainsaw Charlie” because they didn’t think the crowd would know who he was yet were cheering for Cactus Jack who was known from different promotions.
Don’t forget Lawler also doing a great job putting over the heels while JR would act like he’s personally offended and disgusted by the heels action. The puppies shit got old with Lawler but him with JR during those years was the best, up there with Bobby The Brain and Gorilla. I was watching some old WWF recently with Brain on commentary and it’s amazing how so much of what he said wouldn’t be allowed today since it’s so “non PC” even though he doesn’t use any foul language.
It’s between cm punk and Bret hart for the most bitter wrestler. Just two grumpy assholes.The good news: punk came in 3rd place in a BJJ competition
The bad news: There were only 3 competitors
Note the UFC flipflops, the true sign of a legit badass
Roddy Piper's work with Cyndi Lauper was pretty funny. They presented her a gold record for "She's So Unusual" at Madison Square Garden and Piper came out and smashed it over Lou Albano's head. Simple fun.
I come from Britain's World of Sport. The gymnastics shit would never fly when you had a grapplers mentality like they did.
Cornette, Last and Rip Rogers had it so right here. Credit to Orton for speaking up too - never did the the dangerous stuff others did and he actually drew.
DIVE!
One of the last American matches I took the time to watch - and one of the few from the 2000 era - was Jeff Hardy vs. Undertaker for the World title. Ross had one of the greatest announcer lives ever:
"CLIMB THE LADDER, KID! MAKE YOURSELF FAMOUS!"
That's what these guys are supposed to do, at least when the wrestlers in front of them aren't insulting everyone's intelligence.
Piper was my favorite, playing the heel takes work but you could tell he loved being the bad guy. I met him a couple times and he was a cool guy. He told me Mr. T was a real asshole and I mentioned working with Hogan in the past and he asked me if Hulk was “huffing and puffing full of steroids”
I got to see a dark match at a live show back in 2002 in Philly right before the brought Randy Orton to the main roster, I think he only had the one tattoo on his upper back at the time. Who did he wrestle?
Mr Perfect
Talk about a dream match nobody knew they were watching. I’m surprised the match hasn’t been released in some form to WWE network but it was a dark match so video quality wasn’t good, no commentary, and probably few angles.
JR is so much of what made that era so good. You're listening to him for the entire episodes of Raw plus the PPVs.
Curt Hennig would have been a God over in British wrestling - but at the time he was in WWF, Britain's industry was beginning to collapse. I see it's only now been coming back the last decade.
But yeah, more than even Bret, he's my favorite American wrestler. He would make everyone look great, even put over Bret with a fucked up back so he could win the IC Belt clean.
One of the few druggies of that era I actually felt sorry for.
Agreed. It's why I think Andy Kaufman's wrestling shtick is only just starting to be appreciated in recent years. It was reduced to "fighting girls" for a long time but his "I'm From Hollywood" angle was hilarious and set the stage for some of the most high profile moments in wrestling history at the time (most people thought the Lawler slap on Letterman was real when it happened).
Sure he wasn't technically gifted at all, but when you compare Kaufman's passion and influence to any celebrity who dabbles in wrestling today to promote a project or further their brand, it's night and day.

Yeah he was a guy that “got it” as they say, of course his father was a wrestler but like Bret he could put anyone over. That was they were using him at the time, putting over guys on Heat / Dark Matches. He really should have been used on the main shows but I guess they felt he was from a different era. Of course he was gone after the plane ride from hell (supposedly him and Brock got into a shoot fight on the plane over real wrestling) and ended up in TNA when they were signing anyone. Died in hotel from an overdose at 44. If he just kept clean he could have been used as a producer / teacher for the new guys.
Andy Kaufman pretty much ruined his career to do the wrestling because back then it wasn’t like today with WWE being a global brand. But what he did really laid the groundwork for Hollywood and wrestling working together eventually. The “I’m from Hollywood” promos are still funny, telling the crowd they’re stupid rednecks, teaching them what a bar of soap is, the Duuuuuhhhhh wanna wrassle? etc back when wrestling crowds would attack heel guys. That took balls and dedication to mess the audience
