That looks like something off of Trailer Park Boys.


That's how well done it is. TPB gets a lot of shite for what it was, but it was always well shot. Countdown to Liquor Day was Mike Clattenburg's magnum opus.

Midsouth Wrestling! What was the name of the venue they used in Lafayette just south of "4 Corners" right next to the train tracks?


My dad talks about that place like it was MSG.

The cemetery was open that day, with real families in attendance. Up till then, it was the WWF's go-to cemetery for vignettes.

They were banned after this, though.


Yea Jim Cornette says they used to do this kind of shite all the time back in the day without even getting permission first.

There's being over the top and there's being a sorry piece of shite. McMahon doesn't get called out enough for being the latter.

I had the chance to meet Ray Traylor a couple of times at the office of an attorney that I worked for back in the day.

He was a genuinely nice man with a great sense of humor.

I remember in the elevator at Kirby Smith were written these famous words on the door, "Black is Beautiful, Tan is Grand, BUT WHITE is the Color of the BIG BOSS MAN !"

I crossed paths with him in a hotel lobby and he was a genuinely nice guy. I didn't realize how young he was then until he died way too early.

What about the storyline when Mark Henry and Mae Young were having a romantic affair and she gave birth on RAW smoking a cigar?

I still remember him making the Big Show's mom admit he was illegitimate on a broadcast. Funny shite.

I can still hear Bossman’s voice, “SO YOU’RE SAYIN’ YOUR SON’S A BASTARD?!?!”

Who did he feed the dog to? Wasn't it Chavo or Saturn?

ETA: it was Al Snow.

Resser Bowden DID the frickin.

Boyd Pierce’s wardrobe put Reeser to shame.

In the old territory days, each territory could have pulled this same gimmick and no one would know. Vince really destroyed the innocence of the territory days but at least it resulted in great moments like the 1992 Royal Rumble.

Supposedly there was also a funeral going on in another room of the funeral home while they were shooting the Katie Vick thing. Vince kept telling HHH to “BE LOUDER DAMMIT.”

Ray Traylor had a real good career and it lasted a fairly long time.

Big Boss Man is an icon of WWE.
