PWD PWD 1136: LIKE MUSSOLINI

[Pittie Petey]

I have not

Its not perfect but its definitely worth reading if you want a deep dive into all the moving chess pieces of the rasslin business in the 70's and 80's

Theres an audio version too but one of my favorite parts of the book was reading through all the pages and pages of random little footnotes, references and factoids at the end of the paperback book and thats not in the audiobook

 

[Pittie Petey]

As usual, took a bit to get going. I've highly enjoyed the last two episodes. The politics of 60's/70's NWA and the promoters determining who gets the belt, Dory's accident on the ranch that kept him from dropping the title and finally an in-depth look at Terry's run as champ. The initial episodes focusing more on Dory Sr were a bit of drudge to get through though. I know you have to set the scene but it's really unnecaary to spend all that time on him when the story is about Terry

And since this all takes place in Texas, Lapsed Fritz occasionally shows up and it's good to hear from him again <Lmaoo>

Thats a subject I believe I'd enjoy but I dont think these guys are my cup of tea

They laugh at their own jokes A LOT and I know that’s a big pet peeve of yours with stand up. It is for me too. Your job is too make me laugh, not yourself!

@My Spot finally started the WWF section of O'Connor's '84 episode, we're almost through this fucking thing!

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

That’s what it’s all about!

That’s the standup equivalent of HBK slapping his thigh for the SCM. Now everybody and their grandma gotta work that spot!

Will Mansour be allowed back into Saudi Arabia after this?
