Be a wrestler brehs

I thought that was Harley Race

Race essentially warned everyone about it. Dynamite still did it and warned Benoit about it, according to Benoit's dark side ep.

So next week is Chynas story?

Dude, that only makes sense if you believe that it's the doc's job to bury him.

It's not the doc's job to bury or glorify, just tell the story and let you decide for

His wife still loved him and so did his daughter, so they said that.

His other daughter was kinda like "meh" and didn't fukk with him.

They didn't make him out to be all good or all bad

Fair enough. I feel like the show has gone out of it's way to bury some wrestlers moreso than celebrate their accomplishments (like Road Warrior Hawk for example). So it just annoys me to see them shine Dynamite Kid in a positive light when he was a walking talking piece of shyt. They didn't even touch on a lot of the terrible shyt he did.

To be honest, I'm pretty disappointed with most of this season so far with the exception of the Brian Pillman episode.

I dont believe anything Jacques says as 100% true because hes obviously a big worker, but hes entertaining

Here is Rougeou’s version of the story

 

[Elim Garak]

Dynamite in his last match in 96.

 

[Mʀ2ᴋDᴇᴇᴢ]

The Dynamite Kid episode on YouTube is ass, not even watchable for me

Audio and picture not even in sync

 

[Ya' Cousin Cleon]

Off-topic, but Corny has no idea how much/valuable these podcasts are in hindsight

He was basically an egomaniac that thought he was the biggest star in every locker room he was in. Jim Cornette’s story about him in Memphis pretty much sums up why he’s universally disliked.

Pretty surprising to see the injury caught on tape.

As a WWF mark, no one was talking about the warriors WCW run except for how bad it was

How would you know it was trash if you're a WWE mark? He must've made you tune in. The fact that he got you to turn the channel in the first place says it all. Bezides, I was there. I remember wwf marks on the web and IRL tuning in because of him and suddenly discussing WCW angles and such. Whether positive or negative, he still moved the needle - which is essentially my point.

I was there too, it was trash and outside of his first appearance no one gave a shyt about it lmao. And even his first appearance didn't exactly move the needle. But hey I'll let you live in your fantasy world.

I was on the webs in real-time. Whether the reactions were positive or negative, it moved the needle, albeit briefly. Even in this thread. Wwf marks were watching. How else would they know it was good or bad? yall want it one way.

I was looking at Dynamite kids bio...and he died on his birthday

Dec. 5th...he's born and 60 years later on
Dec. 5th... he died


Also the fact this raging self centered a$$hole who has to keep up an image at all times was a Sagittarius...is fukking hilarious to me


He's one of ours...#SagGang

Jimmy hart tells the story almost the exact same way and he was apparently right there for both Incidents
