El-P Posted November 15, 2017 Report Share Posted November 15, 2017 That's Russo being sarcastic. Or trying to be. Which, considering Ken seems to be serious about that stuff, comes off kinda assholish and self-satisfied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruiserBrody Posted December 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/kayfabe-lies-and-alibis-shoot-interview-with-tully-blanchard/ Tully Blanchard touches on his father's early days as a football player, wrestler and promoter. Next Tully's own background in sports, and how it came together when he became a wrestler himself is touched upon. Blanchard covers the many legends of the sport who served as teachers for him as he grew into a regional star and eventually a nationally known heel. The sad story of Blanchard's friend Gino Hernandez and his fall into a world of drugs in the Dallas underground is gone over, which then transitions into Tully's own woeful tale of drugs wrecking his life. Talk of the glory days of the Horsemen drawing big money and living the high life leads into talk of the downfall of JCP. Blanchard's WWF run and his limited return to wrestling finish out the interview. Along the way we hear stories on the Magnum TA feud, why Blanchard refused to put over Terry Funk in WCW, the injury that ended his dabbling with indy dates, helping prisoners reform their lives and more!!

C.S. Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 At the end, he tells Shamrock that the incest angle wasn't his idea, and that it must have been Vince McMahon or JR who came up with it! Russo has really become a professional troll - that's his occupation now. Even the most casual of wresting fans knows J.R. wouldn't come up with rubbish like that - he prefers a serious sports-like presentation over ridiculous soap opera bullshit. I could see the idea coming from Vince McMahon maybe, but not J.R. http://culturecrossfire.com/wrestling/kayfabe-lies-and-alibis-shoot-interview-with-tully-blanchard/ Wow, this is new, right? "The party lifestyle people think the Horsemen lived is a myth. The guys had a hard schedule and by the time they were done wrestling it was late in the evening, and most of the times all that followed was finding some food and having a few beers before bed." The ESPN 30 for 30 documentary on Flair - as well as thousands of other interviews, articles, sources, etc. - give the distinct opposite impression. The Horsemen "party lifestyle" is so woven into wrestling lore, but I guess like everything else in wrestling, it's carny bullshit - assuming "born again" Tully isn't just downplaying his wild past.

flyonthewall2983 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Well, consider how the 80's ended for Tully Speaking of which I found this clip recently Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Sorrow Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Maybe Tully is just talking about himself and the others not partying every night, and the fact that not every town was Baltimore or Atlanta. I can see Flair closing the bar at the Holiday Inn in Columbus, but perhaps the others were like, " Yeah, think I'll have a couple of beers and hit the sack."

I can see Flair closing the bar at the Holiday Inn in Columbus, but perhaps the others were like, " Yeah, think I'll have a couple of beers and hit the sack." Maybe, but the excerpt specifically mentioned the Horsemen, not just Tully. Then again, it was a recap, not a direct quote, so I guess we'd have to hear/read what Tully actually said word-for-word.

The Thread Killer Posted January 19, 2018 Report Share Posted January 19, 2018 I am a big fan of the Breaking Kayfabe series, as I discussed earlier in this thread. I actually paid for the episodes with Sabu and New Jack, but you couldn't pay me to watch that crap. He's basically trolling people at this point. At least Oliver calls him on it, to a degree.

El-P Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Those Legends of ECW roundtables with Sandman are pretty funny. Episode 7 had Francine & Jerry Lynn brought to tears listening to Hak tells some of his stories and never shutting up. Warms the heart of this old ECW fan.

El-P Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Insight = 0. Stories = 0 (Okay, two, one being told by Sean himself). With all the free podcasts all over the place, you can't have such a show like this with guests who have nothing to tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpetCrawler Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 That's a bummer. I was so excited for this one and bought it immediately when it became available. Still haven't watched yet. How's the Bundy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's the Bundy one? Bundy one was good if you like Bundy's personality and humor, I have only seen 1 other Bundy interview so all the tidbits he throws in outside of talking strictly WWF and WrestleMania II were interesting to hear. But I agree the Orton interview was blah, he didn't really have a lot to add and seems like he was a good hand who was friendly with the the right people which got him the spot and he was just glad to be there and was more about getting drunk and having a good time rather then getting involved in the creative process. So that lifestyle coupled with age, his self admitted aversion to doing interviews and unwillingness to go into any detail over his out of the ring exploits and rather give a hearty chuckle or grin instead when asked leaves him being a pretty mediocre at best guest for something like this.

flyonthewall2983 Posted February 24, 2018 Report Share Posted February 24, 2018 I think my favorite Bob Orton story is either the one about him beating the hell out of a member of the Yakuza, or the one Mick Foley told about having him second Evolution at WrestleMania 20 and the setup they had planned for it.
