[GoldenAzazel]

I've still never forgiven you guys for calling me a Bret Michaels fan. I'm not!

 

[Pittie Petey]

Oh wow, this sucks, he was great as John Redcorn on King Of The Hill but also as Chief Hotate on Parks And Rec




"Does it, white man!?"

That might be the best line in the whole series

 

[Stargazer Rex]

[Pittie Petey]

By the way, Hall Of Fame Brian Last did a really great interview with Ron Skoler back on the old 605 Super Podcast all about the original WCW/AAA/IWC When Worlds Collide, its a really great deep dive into the first huge moment for Lucha Libre in America and another terrible decision by WCW(which always seems to pop the crowd here)
Ron Skoler was the promoter of the IWC which was AAA's American promotion team at the time so he was involved from the very beginning and knows where all the nuts and bolts are buried

Man, those early 605 podcasts were so dang good, each one jam packed with so much great stories about the history of this fine bidness

@RollSonnenRoll I highly recommend starting at the beginning with those some day when youre in the mood for some extreme deep dives about the insane hilarious wacky and weird carny characters and interesting events that created this sport that we all know and love, even if the subject doesnt sound interesting at first, by the end of the story you'll most likely be wrapped up in it

I gotta give ole Hall Of Fame Brian credit, he produced a really great podcast for awhile before he decided to sell his soul and just become Corny's sidekick

Savio Vega has no connection to AAA or wrestling in Mexico. Is WWE pulling the "he's brown and speaks Spanish, that'll do"?

I went to his cagematch page and apparently Savio Vega has only wrestled in Mexico 4 times ever. Last time for the WWF in 1999, and a 3 match run in UWA in 1986

They're gonna have advertising on the folding tables now for table spots

 

[Based God]

Oh wow, this sucks, he was great as John Redcorn on King Of The Hill but also as Chief Hotate on Parks And Rec




"Does it, white man!?"

Dang, the first voice actor that played John Redcorn also died tragically after season 1 and this guy took over in season 2 and onward.

John Redcorn might be a cursed role.

“HE SNAPPED INTO A TABLE!!!” - Pat McAfee probably

Yeah, they're gonna get really tiresome with the "snapped into" bit for table spots.

This was in WWE's official announcement of the deal

"This branded table placement will create unforgettable moments when WWE Superstars “Snap into a Slim Jim Table” during matches."

 

[Pittie Petey]

Dang, the first voice actor that played John Redcorn also died tragically after season 1 and this guy took over in season 2 and onward.

John Redcorn might be a cursed role.

Just like the Pawnee Corn Festival!

This is Jennifer Lopez playing Selena all over again!

I look forward to a lot of ham fisted appreciation of Mexican culture from WWE in the coming months
