Yo that play that Superstar Billy Graham wrote was kinda dark and wild, with Jake the Snake playing Billy

Some of those scenes were wild, like the one with the demons

Yea I was thinking low key I just want to watch the whole play start to finish haha

Eddie gilbert story is sad. Madusa/christmas part was hard to watch.

He def was one of the most influential smaller territory wrestlers ever with how he helped jumpstart ecw/hardcore.

Bruiser brody did the first shoot ever tho not eddie. Tho eddie def started it on a trend level.

This one was one of the better episodes.

at him saying he was involved in the unsolved Arkansas killing of Ives and Henry

I’m shocked they couldn’t get Missy to be on the episode to talk about him

 

[Handsome B. Wonderful]

Crazy

Billy Jack Haynes is a fukkin' nut

Caught up with the Tony Atlas episode last night... what a fukking life he's had. The scenes with his wife at the end ne were simultaneously heart-warming and heart-breaking... she looked after Tony, now Tony's looking after her. No you're crying.

Just watched foley hiac one

People bring up wm14 as the moment wwf won but it was the 1-2 punch of that and then THIS right after.

I never watched wcw again after this. Wwf stayed on the entire time after that.

Just finished up the Eddie Gilbert episode. That was probably one of the ones I was most looking forward to this season and it didn't disappoint. It's crazy how much he packed into his life in the short time that he was around. When you think of people who one died too young, but also were likely born too early, Eddie Gilbert is one of those people.

Just started catching up on the season. On the Tony Atlas episode I wish they had gone more into the Soul Connection losing the titles. It was rumored that it was because Rocky Johnson took a side gig that Vince didn't want him taking so they stripped them of the titles. Atlas said in shoot interviews he didn't even know they were losing the titles when they did. I wondered if that was breezed past due to the producer's relationship with The Rock.

This season has been boring. Time to either wrap it up or do more international stuff.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Sheik episode

It was cool to see the episodes on territory era I had no idea sheik was ballin like that.

I remember as a kid my grandpa would always say don't be out here big time wrestling with any of these young girls...I never knew where the reference came from until I learned about the Detroit territory..
