They do know how to promote their lineups, I give em that

Its a carny business

The whole thing is a gimmick. The interior of the stores is all decor for teen girls to take selfies in and they give you the cookies in these giant pink boxes.

Do they put ribbons on them?


I can just see you trying to discreetly walk through the strip mall parking lot in Mudfuck, Georgia with a pink box with a ribbon on it

They do not, thankfully. And yes, it’s extremely awkward

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

But I’m addicted they got a hold on me!

Great reminder that the heel JR run was actually awesome. All the Livewire audio where they blatantly talk about his appearance thanks the Bell’s palsy was wild

I carry my pink box with pride.

I love my cookies and I don’t give a damn who knows it

@Pliny Pete i had never heard the story of Vince trying to get Howard Cosell

In early 1984 I got a call from Vince McMahon, the marketing and merchandising wizard who’s responsible for the boom in professional wrestling. I had never heard of him, but after a quick and precise introduction, he promptly got down to business. He wanted me to be the primary announcer on his wrestling telecasts.

‘You can’t be serious,’ I said laughing.

‘I’m dead serious,’ he said.

‘Come on. Boxing was bad enough, and now you want me to end my career calling phony wrestling matches. Good Lord, you must be crazy.’

‘I’m not crazy,’ McMahon said, and I could hear anger creeping into his voice. ‘You really should think about it.’

‘I don’t have to think about it Vince, I don’t want any part of it.’

‘Well, fuck you, Howard!’ he said. ‘Wrestling’s going to be the biggest sport in this country and I don’t need you anyway!’

I couldn’t believe my ears. Just like that the guy turned on me. ‘Wrestling will be King,’ he said. ‘You’re making the biggest mistake of your life.’

‘That may be Vince, but I’m not going to do it.’ After I hung up, I thought McMahon was a real kook. I still do. But he’s a, incredibly successful one.”

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

I love how even Vince McMahon gets hit with “that fake shit?!”

 

[deezy]

Howard Cosell over Gorilla Monsoon?

Pass.

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

Perfectly normal behavior to instantly tell one “fuck you!” For turning down your business offer

Yea, if you watch the late 70's/early 80's WWWF tv shows(before Vince bought the promotion) you can see that tv announcer Vince is obviously heavily influenced by Cosell, both in the way he speaks and the way he dresses with the dang yellow blazer

 

[Pittie Petey]

I've seen this before, its a good watch for the insane amount of historic memorabilia Corny shows off

I wonder how Hannibal got the rights to it, though, Im sure Brian "Hall Of Fame" Last will be pulling out his uzi soon on that one since he hates Hannibal so much

I can’t help but read that entire story in Howard’s voice and cadence. That’s over, brother
