Mike was well-respected as a level-headed and very personable guy.
I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

Anywhere in a 50 mile radius of The Epcot Center....
C'mon, they had Nikolai (Russian), The Iron Sheik (Iran) Kamala (Uganda), The Blue Meanie (Fairyland), Vampiro (Hell) Bruno SanMartino (Italy)
Just because my life plan is written on the back of a Hooter's Napkin, it's still a life plan.... right?

That's a big enough world for meQuote50 mile radius of The Epcot Center....
Mick Foley is probably the primary reason I started training. I've still yet to meet him but the guy I manage has worked with him in New York several times. Hopefully one day I'll make the trip down and say hi.
Jake was a freaking mess in that movie, he seems to bounce backwards and forwards. I saw him really messed up at an ECW event as the special guest (him, not me), and then he screwed up the Legends of Wrestling PPV - now it seems he's a little cleaner and healthier. It's a shame, he really has such an awesome presence and persona.
TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.
Did Jake use the DDT? Is Jim Duggan still carrying the 2x4? Kamala still got that spear?
Any steel chairs/bloodshed?
Be humble, ask questions, listen, learn, follow the golden rule, talk when necessary, and know when to shut the fuck up.

QuoteMind giving us a rundown of who won what matches?

As best I can remember
Nikolai Volkov (With The Iron Sheik) v Hacksaw Jim Duggan
Jim Duggan won, with the 2 x4 which he gave to a kid in the audience.
Rick Steiner v Koko B Ware
Koko won, but he doesn't have the parrott anymore
Greg The Hammer Valentine v Jimmy Superfly Snuka
Snuka by disqualification (thankfully they "stopped" him climbing to the top rope, although Snuka still looks really fit)
Eddie Colon v Vampiro
Can't remember - it got messy, good match though
Kamala v Jake The Snake Roberts
Jake won, but oy..... 2 outa shape guys. No spear, but he did have "Friday" with him, who interfered. Jake could not have lifted Kamala the shape he's in.
Guest Appearance by Bruno SanMartino
Dory Funk Jr & Mike Graham v Tully Blanchard & David Flair
Dory and Mike won. David Flair is nothing on his Dad (who is STILL the man) but Tully still looks hard as nails.
Virgil v The Disco Inferno
Virgil, easily
Diamond Dallas Page v Kanyon
DDP whipped Kanyon in a brutal match that involved chairs, ringside fences and miscellaneous objects. A lot of action in the crowd. It was obviously well rehearsed (I think they do this match a lot) and there was a lot of trust between them
All 3 members of The Midnight Express (w. Jim Cornette) v The Armstrongs w. Bobby The Brain Heenan
The Armstrongs won. Jim Cornette got a bloody nose after being hit in the face with his own tennis racket. Beautiful Bobby and Loverboy Dennis are really out of shape, but Stan looks like he could still hand out an ass whooping in real life.
Buff Bagwell v Scott Steiner
Steiner beat Bagwell. Steiner is RIPPED and pumped. He's still using the name Big Poppa Pump and his arms are fucking huge. Maybe Alex knows why he's not still with the majors, he's a physical specimen bar none, and incredibly athletic.
The Blue Meanie & Norman Smiley v Jonny B Badd & Russ Rollins
Jonny B Badd and RRR won with a very duplicitous story line fuelled by the radio plugs that were very well done. The match involved a trash can, a chair and a little bit'o'blood. I can't tell you how disgusting it is that the Blue Meanie is even still in the business, the guy's a mess, a big fat blubbering mess........

Well I think it may be to do with the fact that:
1. He's so roided up he can hardly move.
2. Any wrestling ability he had went with his mobility
3. He completely tanked on a major PPV
4. He's not considered the most professional person to deal with (see Mick Foley's book, any of his last run in WWE).
5. he gets out of breathe going through the ropes.
That covers some of it.

He looked pretty mobile last night. You think he uses steroids? Really however, he did a lot of crowd interaction after the match last night and I noticed that security were paying him a lot of attention. I had a feeling he may have been on the verge of being out of control, or a VERY good actor.

Russ did a good job, he has packed on some fighting weight, although Marc Mero did most of the wrestling. The Blue Meanie is truly horrible, and an insult to the industry. He's disgustingly fat and has little talent. Norman Smiley carried the match, and Russ and Marc had a nice double cross planned for the finale. It'll make for good radio today.
