I liked the Vader episode cuz it was new to me. He was pretty much out the WWF when I got back into it around 97.

this is what happened with Unsung. The point was to show groups that coulda been bigger but they didn't get their props or something prevented them from being a crossover group. By the end that shyt was Black Behind The Music.


I didn't know about Vader ending some dude's career and then crying about it though.

it's not that they're less shocking, but wrestling heads knew the Vader story.

At least they didn't try to milk the show about the Territories.

They never run re-runs of that Territories show. I'm going to have to buckle down and just watch it on Daily Motion or something.

I'll check my Vice on Demand and see if it saved them.

The stories are significantly less shocking. They sort of seemed like they were running out of steam last year too. Might be time to wrap it up after this year.

Bro they’ve done 6 seasons of this show. No one else with anything exciting to say is going to talk to these guys.

All 3 episodes this season have been mid.

And they literally did a whole show separate show on territories already.

Man, y'all be tripping.

Do motherfukkers have to committ triple homicide to impress you motherfukkers, damn

This show been on fumes since A&E was putting out the same content but better and that was years ago now. Still think the best episode was the Brody one.

Ludwig Borgas wife was clearly a scum bag. She’s got to be a sociopath to go on nation television and try to paint herself as some cluelessly in love housewife

I didn't watch the Foley episode about HIAC, I read his book, watched the docs on it already and that topic has been beaten to death.

The Borga episode felt hollow. They tried to cover so many different topics in such a short period of time, most of the people in the episode were a$$holes imo. Just typical racist cacs juelzing about racism. Funny how his ex had no problems with the nazi regalia but his cheating was a dealbreaker

Then the bytch tried to pull the "I was young and didn't know" card and she was like 23.

And then they pulled the "bad childhood" and "he wanted attention" instead of just saying he was an ignorant, roided up POS.






The Vader episode was pretty solid. NGL I thought dude was an a$$hole for the way he was stiffing lower card guys but it's the way he was taught to begin with and he got his karma after Shawn hoed him anyways so

Folks have been saying that "it's stories everyone already knows about so it doesn't hit the same", but that's cap to me. Outside of Gino, I had prior knowledge about every one of the topics they covered in the first two seasons.

The series fell off when they botched the Jake Roberts episode, because they just skimmed over the stories. How they didn't make that one a two-parter is beyond me.

 

[Da_Eggman]

They do one on Chyna ? I can’t think of a darker story than hers

Brian Christopher, Luger, Raven, are all pretty dark

 

[VegetasHairline]

The Brawl For All episode was one of the best episodes of this show.

The GOAT, "Big Van" Vader

I'll always remember Vader from old WCW tapes my dad used to rent at Blockbuster Video, seeing him walking to the ring with Harley Race in that 'robotic viking' helmet and at one point that bear skin cape he used to wear

Vader's WCW theme

 

[blues_funk_reggae]

No one can ever convince me otherwise that Vince was bringing in guys from other territories just to sh*t on them and throw a bucket of ice cold water on their character. Vince just hated seeing top guys from other territories. Bruce Prichard can try to juelz all he wants, but the proof speaks for itself.

They still play it. Just a few days ago, maybe Tuesday. They showed the Polynesian wrestling and Crockett promotions.
There's a few I need to watch, but I enjoyed the show.
