Nice to see Brandi at Mania. Who knows, maybe she'll lace up those boots again?

That match was from 2017. I saw Joey Ryan and thought I would check. Joey got himself into enough trouble that his last match was from Impact Wrestling in 2020 where he beat Crazzy Steve. Funny thing about Joey that before he came up with the Porno gimmick he was a very blan babyface wrestler who relied on sympathy.

Great stuff with Dynamite and Davey against each other in pre-WWF days with AJPW.

Hey, you guys know who David Arquette (one-time WCW World Heavyweight Champion & Lifelong Hollywood Bigshot) is? As he admits he got a little in over his head here.

My wife had no idea who Andy Kaufman was. I told her a story about Andy Kaufman working as a busboy at Jerry's Deli in Encino while he was a big star on TV just to see if people would recognize him. She didn't understand the logic of the whole deal. I told her the thing about Andy Kaufman is that many people didn't realize he was funny until 30 years after he died.

Iron Sheik seemed to think everybody was a Jew(even Nikolai & Vince McMahon) and America had a President named Don Muraco Obama. RIP Khosrow.

King Curtis and The Original Sheik were 2 of the pioneers of hardcore wrestling. Then Memphis, Florida, and Puerto Rico had their hardcore bloodbaths as well. Japan took it up a notch really taking things to the extreme before ECW. W*ING, FMW. IWA Japan, and Big Japan Pro Wrestling were the main Japanese promotions booking hardcore matches.

Many of you may remember Corporal Kirschner from 1980s WWF. He had an issue with drugs and he never returned to the promotion. He re-invented himself as Leatherface in Japan and became one of the better hardcore workers. Those Horror Movie gimmicks were really over with the Japanese fans at that time.

On December 13, 1994, the Leatherfaces faced two popular wrestlers, Shoji Nakamaki and Hiroshi Ono, in a Double Hell Deathmatch. In a match that would become a classic within hardcore wrestling, Kirchner broke kayfabe after the match and ripped off a piece of the bed of nails, placed it on Ono's throat and then executed a leg drop onto the patch of nails. He then powerbombed Ono onto the bed of nails. Kirchner afterward left the IWA, with the promotion claiming that he was fired in an attempt to salvage Ono's destroyed reputation.
