On the subject of racism in wrestling, does anyone else remember Jim Neidhart dressing up in a fucking Klu Klux Klan outfit to psyche out Virgil?

In a way I'm kinda glad the territories died.

God damn. And this is why I don't watch old wrestling.

Wrestling has been racist as fuck since forever. Doesn't make her tweets any better. I just see it as a classic example of twitter actions have consequences. I will say I love the "But you're taking food out of her mouth." argument. Like wrestling is the only thing she can do and grown up jobs aren't a possibility.

Oh yeah she's a dumbass for tweeting it, but these kids throwing a fit while they watch Vince "spic it up" McMahon's show every week is hilarious.

In general if you're looking for good people making your entertainment media, wrasslin is about the last place to go.
 
Guerrero no-selling. No-sells are horrible etiquette but Eddie makes this an awesome moment.

 
they were a bit optimistic when they booked that stadium

As well as when they called it "Legends of Wrestling". Legends may never die, but in some cases maybe they should *cough STEINER cough*.
 
"legends" is wrassle-ese for "old guys"

Scott Steiner deserves to live forever based on promo quality alone.

I am a huge Scott Steiner mark.

I don't care if he put poor old Kurt Angle through some of the worst matches of his career, I just love to see a man who truly loves his gimmick.

Scott Steiner and the Iron Shiek: the last two kings of kayfabe.

Last I saw he was calling out Hulk Hogan to a million dollar body slam challenge.
Some wrestlers just don't ever retire. Steiner will be doing 'Legends of wrestling' shows with Abdullah the Butcher for years to come.

I like the mystery of "Will he kill somebody tonight?" If GFW every becomes a real thing I am oddly hyped to see Steiner vs Seiya Sanada.
 
But of a derail, but just saw this, and had to share:

Does every wrestler these days look like a personal trainer and use their real name? *sigh*
 
I love Scott Steiner so much like he was such a god tier wrestler in the 90s. In retrospect most of his moves hurt him more than his opponents and he's paying the price for it physically and mentally but god damn he's such an entertainer still. He can still pull a standing frankensteiner in my heart.
