When Wrestling was Fun

[Toronto Passions]

I have gotten through two episodes of the six part documentary Mr. McMahon on Netflix. So far it’s incredible. It talks in detail about him, taking over his father‘s company, and the emergence of Hulk Hogan, and how he was the initiator in moving outside of the New York territory and getting cable deals to have nationwide exposure, Saturday Night’s Main Event on NBC… etc., etc. and based on the trailers, I believe it gets into some of the sexual abuse allegations. The first two episodes starts to discuss Pat Patterson, and all the allegations against him. Very good documentary series so far..

I haven't seen it yet but my brother watched the whole thing. He says the last episode is where they really get into McMahon's sexual stuff. It was so nasty he wouldn't let his 12 year old son watch it, even though he watched the others. If the Pat Patterson stuff wasn't too much for the kid, the McMahon stuff must be pretty bad.

I finished watching it. It was very good. It really goes into detail. It goes into very good coverage of the attitude era, Hulk Hogan before and after, WCW competition, Owen Hart etc. etc. this documentary is incredible. It almost serves as a history of wrestling documentary. Really compacted into what matters to many people I would even consider watching it again. It covers just about everything you can think of. Highly recommended. They were interviewing Vince McMahon until the sexual abuse allegations came about and he stopped responding to them and disappeared for the final episode, which is episode six. I wonder if he’s going to get the same treatment one day guys like Diddy are getting. I’ve seen this documentary on Netflix for a little while. I’m surprised I didn’t watch it sooner. I found it very good.

Unlike Dennis Rodman, Shaq took wrestling seriously. Before hip replacement surgery ended his career,he did spots on TNA and AEW. Maybe he should teach Brittany Griner how to deliver a powerbomb, so that she can pile drive Vladimir Putin into 2025. Notice how he lets Cody Rhodes know that he was not hurt.

(1970s) Before Randy “Macho Man” Savage was a star wrestler, he was Randy Poffo the baseball player.

This reminds me of when Bubba Ray Dudley powerbombed 80 year old Mae Young off the stage though a table. She squeezed his hand to let him know she was ok. That old broad was as strong as an ox. Fun coincidence, this happened 25 years ago this week.

Stampede Wrestling, that brings back memories. Mae Young lived to the ripe old age of 90, she probably suplexed The Grim Reaper as she passed.

Bubba Ray never injured anyone with the table shot. He absorbed most of the contact himself, makes me wonder if he has back problems.
