Watched part two of The Last Ride. Taker and Vince are both insane. I was dying laughing at the preview of the next episode :mjlol: the botches from the dx vs brothers of destruction match.

This is going to sound weird, but was I the only one who found it incredibly bizarre and disconcerting that Vince simply cannot show any real-life vulnerability on camera? Taker at one point spends about 5 minutes pouring his guts out about how much he loves this man and would literally die for him (whoever had that theory about most wrestlers working to please somebody or for validation is more right about that every day), but he can't spare one word on camera about their relationship?

I know how people can be about their private lives, but can Vince not let the wall down just once, especially if Taker is so willing to do it? It's odd and kind of inhuman to me.

With all that said, this documentary is fascinating as all hell, and honestly kind of sad to watch. It's so clear that Taker has nothing to prove and needs to rest, Michelle's trying every subtle mind trick in the book to keep him away from wrestling, but he just refuses to let his desire for an ideal final match go. There's something very apt about that given his political leanings (ALL fukkING OVER THIS EPISODE WITH HIS AND MICHELLE'S WARDROBE), but it kind of depresses me more than makes me angry. Like, all that rests behind these desires for past or present glories are a bunch of broken men and women that the world has passed by and refuses to take care of (or worse yet, old men and women who the world has passed by and who refuse to acknowledge that fact). Don't think it's going to get easier given that SaudiMania is next up.

He's been working hurt since 1994. He was actually going to retire in 1999. The American Bad Ass gimmick was to change his working style and extend his career, which I guess mission accomplished :sadcam:

Didn’t know that

I didn’t know Buff Bagwell and Shane Douglass were ever a tag team. :dead:

The 2 most boring reflexive remote control grab-inducing bums who could never get over ever made into a tag team.

And they had the nerve to have them as part of the New Blood. They both had been wrestling and sucking at it for over a decade.

Sept. 25 2000 Austin returns to raw but what also sticks out to me is this expletive filled tirade x pac goes on during his first blood match with y2j. Ended with x pac grinding broken shards of a glass bottle on y2j's head, dont recall ever seeing anything that violent.

The PPV before actually had even more fukkery.


Spring Stampede featured 14 matches, 3 separate tournaments going on at the same time, at LEAST one run in in every single match, Jimmy Hart vs Mancow, cops pulling their guns on Hogan, among other things.
