  1. Jim had his son born with a terminal illness and had to suffer through his early passing. He has since been through multiple battles with cancer. What makes you think that he's got the time or energy to put into a screwup nephew that has pissed away every opportunity he's been given?
  2. I met him last year, he stayed at my hotel while appearing at Comic Con in Niagara Falls, ON. We had a 15 minute conversation about his brother, his career and Vince McMahon. Really nice guy and he really enjoys interacting with fans and keeping the Macho Man's memory alive.
  3. Here are my favorite heels from the 70s, Reginald and Hartford Love - The Love Brothers. I used to watch them on CHCH-TV when they wrestled on promoter Frank Tunney's cards from Maple Leaf Gardens. They were great heels, the looked like Summer of Love hippies, but fought like Hell's Angels.
  4. I know that we have a wresting thread, but it's mainly about current wrestling, which is not my cup of tea. This thread is to post a pic of your favorite 70s, 80s or 90s era wrestlers (Baby Faces and Heels) and maybe a line or two to describe what it was that made you a fan. I'll kick it off with a baby face, the "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes. even though he never met a doughnut or a dozen that he didn't want to immediately scarf down, Rhodes had great charisma. His "Bionic Elbow" was a lame finisher, but I couldn't wait to watch him drop it on whatever heel he was in the squared circle against.
  5. Yes, that sort of a shock will tend to taint your glamor shot.
  6. I don't know if anyone is watching this on Netflix. People are claiming that it is truly frightening beyond anything they've ever watched. I asked the wife if she wanted to watch it and she said, "Do you want me to ever be able to be alone in this house again?" https://comicbook.com/horror/2018/10/19/the-haunting-of-hill-house-netflix-reactions-twitter/
  7. I'm pretty sure that nothing stranger has ever happened than for an historically wretched QB like Peterman to somehow redeem his moribund career.
  8. I work in Ontario and it's a non-issue so far. As CBF mentioned above, it will be months until stores are open for retail sales.
  9. Vinton created the name ( and studio ) Claymation. He cited Gumby and Pokey (which was called Stop-Motion technique) as his inspiration. He just took it to new levels.
  10. Haha, a lot of people in this thread are about to go from, "Who in the heck is Bennie Fowler?" to "Why are we letting the Giants scoop Fowler out from underneath us?"
  11. Known best for the California Raisins and the Domino's Noid, but I always think of his underrated Christmas special as his best work. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/09/obituaries/will-vinton-dead.html
  12. This thread needs to be on TSW, not Off The Wall.
  13. If it's an ex-girlfriend, but her name was Birdie, does it count? Asking for a friend...
  14. It's kind of sad that this guy's last act on Earth was plagiarism.
  15. I'd comment, but I'm already on to Houston.
  16. Can't be worse than what we have now.
  17. Feast your eyes - Sabres atop the Atlantic Division standings. http://www.espn.com/nhl/standings
  18. This thread reminded me of an old George Carlin bit: "I met some born agains and they said to me, 'Don't you want to go to heaven and have eternal life?' I said, 'Not if it's filled with you fu**ing people.'"
  19. If a "bad" game from Jack is a goal and a primary assist with a Sabres win, then sign me up for a few more stinkers.
  20. Sobering Stat of the Day: Buffalo professional sports teams are scoreless in their last 9 quarter/periods combined. Sobering Stat of the Day: Buffalo professional sports teams haven't scored in 9 combined quarters/periods.
  21. Regarding the Stan Fischler column: hard to take seriously a writer that doesn't know that Skinner is on the top line, not Sheary.
