RARE (and possibly coked up) Sting Sighting Behind the Scenes of WCW's 1988 Great American Bash

Just a few seconds prior, they (Road Warriors, Lex Luger, others - high out of their minds) were messing with him and getting him to make funny faces in the mirror. He still managed to regain focus and continue with his face paint.

We also get to hear the Stinger say "fuck". I've rarely seen him curse outside of this moment.

Book It! Book Review of The Last Real-World Champion, The Legacy of Nature Boy Ric Flair by Tim Hornbaker (ECW Press)

Book It! Book Review of The Last Real-World Champion, The Legacy of Nature Boy Ric Flair by Tim Hornbaker (ECW Press)

Robert Segedy Say Ric Flair’s name and any number of catch phrases immediately come to mind: “Slick Ric”, “Diamonds are Forever”, “Space Mountain”, “To be the Man, You need to Beat the Man”, and “Sixteen times world Champion” among others. And the fact is, whether or not you like him or not, Ric Flair most admittedly could back up any of his catch phrases. A ring veteran of over 5,600 matches…

Be All Elite, Not Just CM Punk

Professional wrestling is bigger than any one person. AEW is more than CM Punk. I am glad I became a fan from the beginning because I get to see people like Kenny Omega, Britt Baker, The Bucks, The Acclaimed, Willow Nightingale, Orange Cassidy, MJF, Skye Blue, and many more wrestle and perform weekly. I am here for all of All Elite Wrestling. It's hard to believe people say they are out after just one person who by his own fault finds himself on the outside looking in.

Sure, Tony Khan has made his share of mistakes. I have to believe he tried his best to keep Punk until he couldn't do that any longer. Other people in the biz have made their mistakes Vince McMahon, Jim Crockett, and every other promoter who has had the vision and resources to start a wrestling company.

Tonight there is a PPV in Chicago where hard-working men and women will put on their gear and provide a great show and will tell stories in a squared circle. Isn't that the essence of what pro wrestling is?

Tell you aswell man, the Gunns have found their spot as a slimy tag team, very midnight express/heavenly bodies type.

both 2.0 and the Gunns have got this fucking great upper midcard slimy heel arrogant motherfucker vibes to them, two fantastic teams but the Gunns have absolutely done fantastic becoming more than just Billy’s boys.

FTR vs the Gunns could have happened in Jim Crockett Promotions and the crowd would be on fire for it.

One thing I notice about current WWE, in addition to being reliant on the past (Which AEW is also guilty of but I digress) it seems that they want the company to be the star lately, not the wrestlers and that honestly makes it feel like I'm watching 1995 RAW instead of 2022 RAW

It's been like this since Cena's decade of doom ended. All it cares about is the image of the company. No one is allowed to be a star like Hogan, Austin, Rock or Cena. Now? No one is allowed to be as big as Roman Reigns The Four Two Horsewomen(I say Two Horsewomen cause Sasha is Bayley's best friend and I can't see Bayley being okay with how Sasha was treated) and no one is allowed to be bigger than the company.

The wrestlers these days are like props with catchphrases. They read scripts and their promos don’t feel authentic and organic. They are not larger than life, they are not stars and no one cares enough about wanting to be stars. The company doesn't want stars or larger than life personalities. They want to control them and every aspect. And WWE views the “superstars” as replacable and no one is valued in the WWE, they don’t care about anyone who isn’t Roman or Charlotte or D-List Celebrities.

Passion, momentum and creativity dies in WWE. No one is allowed to organically get over on their own. If it’s not a chosen one by Vince, then they are punished for having a genuine connection with the audience.

No one wants to rock the boat. No one wants to make the best possible product, they want to do what Vince wants.

Just look at Sasha Banks as an example. This woman is the very embodiment of a star. She walks and talks like a star. She works like a star. She has mainstream star appeal. Oh let's not forget. SHE WAS IN FUCKING STAR WARS!

WWE never treated Sasha like the star she was born to me. Charlotte won at Wrestlemania 32, when the entire crowd was behind Sasha. Sasha had piss poor title reigns and shitty booking throughout her career. Only when the Golden Role Models era did it feel like they finally treated her right.

Sasha Banks has had a terribly booked run as Smackdown Women’s Champion, a botched feud with Bayley and Bianca but only good matches. WWE NEVER ONCE capitalized on Sasha Banks being IN FUCKING STAR WARS when she was Women’s Champion. Her feud with CHarlotte was dropped and she went out of her way to bring life back to the Women’s Tag Titles. Sasha Banks walked out of WWE twice, and both times it was because they broke their promise to let her build a midcard for the women’s division. This time she gave up a main event title match with Ronda Rousey for it. That’s not selfish, that’s what a leader does.

WWE should build around Sasha Banks the way they have built around Roman Reigns. She is demonstrably excellent at every aspect of her job, is amongst the company's biggest ratings draws, and has crossover appeal. Yet they never capitalize on her mainstream appeal and instead thinks Ronnie Lousey is worth more, OH AND THE FACT THEY NEVER ADVERTISED THAT ONE OF THEIR BIGGEST FUCKING STARS WAS IN FUCKING STAR WARS(NO I WILL NEVER LET THIS FUCKING GO, YOU FUCKING IDIOTS)

Another Example is what happened to NXT. Because Vince is petty and because HHH lost the Wednesday night wars, NXT was killed and replaced with NXT 2.0. I feel like NXT 2.0 is the modern day Black Saturday. Black Saturday refers to Saturday, July 14, 1984, the day when Vince McMahon’s World Wrestling Federation (WWF) took over the time slot on Superstation WTBS that had been home to Georgia Championship Wrestling (GCW) and its flagship weekly program, World Championship Wrestling, for 12 years. McMahon’s purchase led to a longstanding rivalry between himself and WTBS owner Ted Turner, who later bought GCW’s successor Jim Crockett Promotions (JCP) and formed his own company under the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) name. A lot of fans of GCW did NOT like this. This took away their more serious southern, athletic and serious wrestling or as they dubbed it “Gordon Solie” wrestling and replaced it with McMahon’s cartoonish, gimmicky and silly alternative. I feel the same has happened with NXT. HHH’s NXT was like the old days of NWA wrestling, it had a more focus on wrestling, a dark and gritty feel and it felt like what the WWE needed to evolve into. When NXT 2.0 came around. It made everything more bright and colorful(quite literally lol) more gimmicks, cartoony, phony and fake and it just feels like Vince taking NXT in the back of the barn and shooting it and replacing a prized horse with a jackass. And as Bronson Reed said recently “NXT was the professional wrestling show, now it’s just another entertainment show.”

And honestly? Modern WWE is like WCW 2000. Terrible booking, bad comedy, legends forced down our throat at the expense of the young hungry talent, 3 hours of television and a product no one, not even the people in charge care about.

Wrestling is gonna be so good in 15 years when Punk has poisoned HBK with arsenic and turned NXT into Jim Crockett Promotions.

Three Wrestlers Remain In Hospital

Greensboro News & Record – October 6, 1975

WILMINGTON- Johnny Valentine, Ric Flair, and Bob Bruggers, three professional wrestlers familiar to Carolinas and Virginia-area fans, remain hospitalized at New Hanover County Hospital following a Saturday evening plane crash near the Wilmington airport.

Valentine, 47, the reigning United States Heavyweight champion of the National Wrestling Alliance, and Bruggers, 31, were in serious condition Sunday according to a hospital spokesman. Flair, 24, whose legal name is Richard Fliehr, was reported in satisfactory condition.

Also in the twin-engine Cessna 310, which reportedly ran out of gas while trying to land, were pilot Michael Farkas of Monroe, who was in critical condition after undergoing surgery for head injuries and David Crockett and George Woodin, both of Charlotte, who were released from the hospital Sunday. Crockett and Woodin both are promoters.

The athletes involved wrestle from Jim Crockett Promotions of Charlotte and they were en route to a performance in Wilmington Saturday night.

“We understand all but the pilot were doing well this morning,” a member of Crockett’s family told the Daily News Sunday. “We understand a series of tests will be performed to determine the extent of the injuries.”

Valentine was scheduled to wrestle in the main event of a Greensboro Coliseum card Saturday night, Oct. 11. Dory Funk will sub for Valentine in the match against Jack Brisco.
