Does anyone know where I can watch Vince's interview with Brian Pillman's widow?
I've heard so many bad things about it, but never actually seen it. Was just reading about the most distasteful promotional tactics in WWF and this is the one I missed. Call it sick curiosity. |

Stan Hansen is going to be on the Ross Report next week. I can't imagine the stories he has.

A quick Google search shows that there is no porn star by the name of Sasha Banks. Though it does sound like a porn star name, along with most of the other NXT women's names, as I've said here before.
My Google search has shown however, that there are porn stars named Briana Banks and Sasha Grey, so maybe that's why you were thinking she was a porn star. Unless you were meaning the woman herself and not the name. |

I have a vague memory of Triple H making a subtle reference to Vince being responsible for either his or Owen's death after Austin locked him in a room with a rattlesnake and he pretended to have been bitten by it. I don't remember the Davey Boy thing though.

I dunno, maybe those are legit things to discuss in a situation like this with a friend or something, but not some asshole on live TV.

An interview with ex-WWE photo chief Tom Buchanan. Some interesting tales from the road, including Owen Hart's final plunge. Don't quite understand why the company would have only one full time employee handling the entire photo requirements.

I would.
You rarely get to hear stories about Japan, and given his storied career there, he probably has a lot of them. |

you rarely get to hear about Japan and its wrestling/wrestlers. Stan was one of the biggest names to ever compete in All Japan. I'm sure he has some great stories. |

we all know about the monday night wars of course.
However there was a big war between All Japan and New Japan at one point. http://wiki.puroresu.com/New_Japan_P...romotional_War New Japan and All Japan were having a promotional war, in which both groups took gaijin stars from each other. Tiger Toguchi, who was at the time the third star of All Japan, Dick Murdoch, and All Japan's top heel Abdullah the Butcher jumped to New Japan in 1981. Later in the year, the fans saw two top gaijin stars of New Japan, Tiger Jeet Singh and Stan Hansen, in All Japan. All Japan also took the British Bulldogs, Dynamite Kid & Davey Boy Smith in 1984, and New Japan took Bruiser Brody the following year. While the promotional war was taking place, the importance of the gaijin talents declined. The triangle feud between New Japan (Inoki, Sakaguchi, Fujinami, Tiger Mask, etc.), the former IWE wrestlers (Rusher Kimura, Animal Hamaguchi, & Isamu Teranishi), and Kakumeigun (Masa Saitō, Riki Chōshū , Killer Khan, & Kuniaki Kobayashi) was the hottest thing around this time. However, after few years of what was probably the best days of New Japan since its start in 1972, many Japanese wrestlers left the company. In the summer of 1983, Tiger Mask announced his retirement, followed by a coup within the office which took Inoki, Sakaguchi, and Shinma from their respective positions as president, vice president, and business manager. Inoki and Sakaguchi soon returned to their positions, but Shinma was never welcomed back. |

So yeah, Darren Young is fucking HUGE now. Dude could literally be that black superstar WWE's been looking for for years if he can keep that kind of physique up. I mean he's got some charisma, is decent on the mic and he's got all that publicity with charity organizations and LGBT rights stuff. |

Didn't they basically make a gimmick out of the fact that he was so awkward on the mic by having Titus do all the promo work and then having him just follow it up with "Yeah!"? He's pretty abysmal.

Pretty sure he had some good moments on NXT, and early on on the main roster.
That one time on commentary he was disastrous, though, and after that they didn't really let him speak other than "Yeah!" |
