NFL Pigskin Pigsplosion Preview: Week 7
NFL, Pigskin Pigsplosion October 23rd. 2009, 1:00pm
I’m worried that we’re all waiting for a Brett Favre collapse that isn’t coming. If you look at the schedule, every single game is winnable. Its not like they’re going to run the table, but the conceivably could. (Again, they won’t.) If the defense and Purple Jesus stay healthy, they can overcome any horrible Favre decisions.
I doubt anyone is rooting for Brett Favre’s failure more than me. It’s what gets me up in the morning. The only problem is, he’s protected by that dome. If the Vikings keep winning the games they should, they’ll be a top-2 seed. If you assume the Saints are the other top-2 seed, that means the one game the Vikings would play on the road in the playoffs will be inside at New Orleans. Brett Favre might win a Super Bowl this year. This does not make me happy. I’m just telling you guys this so you’re prepared. This will not be over soon. You will not enjoy this.
Bye Week: Ravens, Broncos, Lions, Jaguars, Seahawks, Titans
As usual, I turn to The Hazean for all my plug and play needs. And that’s not just because he gives me foot rubs and buys me lunch 3 times a week.
Pigsplosive Video of the Week
That’s just a work of art. Like Michael Bay himself directed.
The Jake Delhomme Mark Sanchez Memorial Fraud of the Week Award
5 picks. A loss to the Bills. Five interceptions. It’s going to be a long winter for the ladies’ man.
The Game Manager of the Week Award
JaMarcus Russell. Anytime you can go 17-28 for 224 yards, 1 TD and 2 picks and earn the W, you will win this award. Keep up the good work, Mr. Russell.
The “Is Drew Brees Married?” Pointless Hot Chick of the Week
It was fun while it lasted Kyle Orton, but Drew Brees stole the naming rights to his award back last week. That being said, here’s Bar. And here’s more Bar.
Picksplosion’em
Last week: 6-8
Overall: 45-45
Listen to me. I’ll make you rich beyond your wildest dreams!
HOUSTON (-3.5) over San Francisco
I totally called the Texans being 3-3 at this point. Not really, but they’re going to be just as mediocre as I predicted.
San Diego (-4.5) over KANSAS CITY
Just seeing the city of San Diego mentioned somewhere causes me to go into a fit of rage because of #21.
Green Bay (-6.5) over CLEVELAND
Working over shitty teams will eventually translate to long term success, right?
Indianapolis (-13.5) over ST LOUIS
New England (-14.5) over TAMPA BAY
Are the Bucs the best of the 0-6 teams? I don’t know, but that’s one hell of a distinction.
Minnesota (+4.5) over PITTSBURGH
I’m voting for natural disaster.
Buffalo (+7.5) over CAROLINA
I can’t believe these teams have combined for 4 wins.
New York Jets (-6.5) over OAKLAND
Everyone back on the Sanchez Band Wagon!
CINCINNATI (-1.5) over Chicago
I still never remember where the double-consonant is in Cincinnati. Hope I never move there.
Atlanta (+3.5) over DALLAS
I thought Romo sucked way before it was cool.
MIAMI (+6.5) over New Orleans
The Dolphins will definitely put up more of a fight than the NFC East Fraud Leaders.
NEW YORK GIANTS (-7.5) over Arizona
Eli was all broken up about Miley deleting her Twitter account last week. Expect better results now that he’s had time for it to sink in.
Philadelphia (-6.5) over WASHINGTON
At least they’ll have Michael Vick to talk about. I’ve been wondering what he’s been up to.

This felt rushed. Like when you need to take a dump in a store, and your SO is waiting for you outside, so you push it out quickly to get it over with. Sure it’ll get the job done, but in the end, you just feel unsatisfied.

Sanchez vs. Russell could prove to be a lot like Some Guy vs. Some Guy in the WWF.

you have no idea how hard im rooting for his collapse. i have many fireworks set to go off when it happens and aftewards i have planned a nice dinner.

Was South Park a brilliant deconstruction of how Rock N Wrestling and Vince’s destruction of the territory system replaced good old faashioned Wrasslin’ with douches talking nonstop in the ring, or were they just saying pro wrestling is stupid?
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:19 pm

October 23rd, 2009 at 1:20 pm
Those.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:21 pm
think they were saying people who watch it are stupid
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Not taking the bait. Not getting angry over this.

enchiladas but i wont those again until march
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:25 pm
i think were saying that wrestlers dont wrestle any more and people who watch it are dumb but you can see that they are/were fans and dont like how the fuckers just sit in the ring and talk forever.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:28 pm
no one or nothing rushes a dump outta me
hey mrejr, i covered the state title game when werth’s chatham-glenwood squad, yours, beat waubonsie valley. what, 1995?
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:31 pm
Speaking of JaMarcus Russell, I just started following the FakeFatJamarcus on twitter. So far, so good.
Fake twitter accounts >>> real twitter accounts.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:32 pm
That episode greatly reminded me of my grandmother (now gone). She turned me onto WWF, and totally believed every single aspect of it was real.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Roeth, thats hilarious, my nana loved wrestling too, RIP.

I thought that they were saying that wrestling is to men what soap operas is to women. And the dumbasses are too stupid to realize it.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:35 pm
Tightest NFL board of the season.
Those who disagree or who profess to be making “easy” picks, NOW is the time to post not AFTER the games like a bunch of Las Vegas tourists for the first time at the sports book.
Paper $20 Houston -3 and nothing for real.
My college betting has been better for sure, on paper and for real, than for the NFL this season.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:36 pm
Wrestling is unwatchable now. It ended when WWE bought out WCW. I couldn’t stand WWF after the Rock and Stone Cold Showed up.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:37 pm
Indy at -13 isn’t easy? Really?
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:37 pm
favre’s team this year is better than last, and his division is easier or the same.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:38 pm
colts have been easy all year
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:38 pm
colts and alabama have been like warm cozy blankets
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:39 pm
96 and i only went there for a semester and transfered to another school. i met werth when i tried out for the basketball team and while i was waiting for my dad to pick me up he asked me if i needed a ride. which was cool of him. i had no idea he was a superduperstar in baseball until the second tryout and all the other kids kinda just stared at him in awe.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Next you’re going to be telling me that athletes in hats is more interesting than sports discussion.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:40 pm
maybe he was hittin on you, mrejr. one of these days one of these stars is gonne be outed
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:40 pm
wrestling jumped the shark when Hulk Hogan started being on TV every week. now every single storyline in history has been used and it is predictable as hell.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:40 pm
If that’s the case, it’ll just be one more reason to dislike JaMarcus Russell. I’ll blame him for it all.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:40 pm
Paolo, I will probably go with Falcons +4 or the Giants -7
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:40 pm
The territory system was the shit.
Stampede Wrestling = Greatest Territory EVER
We have the Fight Network up here which shows ‘Wrestling At The Chase’ which is the old Mushnick St Louis territory. King Kong Brody was the man.
/Commence mocking
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:41 pm
I like that line and the ARI line (think NYG will win, just not by enough).
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:41 pm
Good luck. I’ll make you a deal though. You ‘fess up on here on the major NFL post after the weekend on Monday win or lose? You game?
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:42 pm
I found the whole thing terribly entertaining in the 80s. They should have just shut down the whole operation after Piper’s Pit ended.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:42 pm
maybe but in a small town like chatham he would have been found out.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:42 pm
No, that’s just ridiculous.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:43 pm
careful on that falcons pick, cj. they’re missing a starting corner and pokes’ running game is much better than bears’
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:44 pm
Why wouldn’t I? Peyton in a dome against a horrendous team with zero talent and a completely overwhelmed head coach? The line is only -13? I was worried it would be as high as -21, but the Rams kept it close against Jacksonville.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:44 pm
This is a mistake. The line should be NE -35.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:44 pm
mrejr, maybe he was kickin it in glenwood
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:44 pm
“Just when they think they have all the answers, I start changing the questions!”
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:45 pm
Sparty- WFF pissed me off when Bob Backland beat Brett Hart for the Title and it wasnt even televised. That was such bullshit.
As Far as Hulk Hogan is concerned NWO was the Shit and when he beat Yokozuna at Caesars Palace.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Piper was the be all end all of bad guy wrestlers. He doesn’t get nearly enough credit. Guys like Austin owe their careers to Piper.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:46 pm
I think the Indy/St Louis Total is pretty hittable. I figure Indy’s going to win that game 50-7.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:46 pm
wwe attitude was the shit. stone cold, the rock, the undertaker, kane, shawn michaels,hhh, dx, corporation, the ministry, corporate ministry vince mcmahon getting his ass kicked by stone cold, mankind vs the rock i quit match, hell in a cell
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Tampa- And the NWO thing would have worked even better if they weren’t out there every single week destroying someone and spraying NWO on their back.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:46 pm
Why wouldn’t I? Peyton in a dome against a horrendous team with zero talent and a completely overwhelmed head coach? The line is only -13? I was worried it would be as high as -21, but the Rams kept it close against Jacksonville.
Ahhh, the dangerous words of obvious logic when it comes to NFL betting. I’d probably stay away.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Don’t forget Diesel (”toot toot!”) winning it like a week later and then holding onto it for an ENTIRE YEAR.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:47 pm
Indy line is a lock.
/everyone who took the Steelers at 14 last week
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:47 pm
once you lose your competition (wcw and ecw) you dont have to try as hard. plus they had too many wrestlers and when they decided to split up raw and smackdown thats when i quit watching
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:48 pm
Any other year, I would be with you. But the gap between the really good teams and really bad teams is HUUUUUGE this year. It’s worse than baseball at this point.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:48 pm
yep, dirt, but i bet alot on philly and jets last week playing horrendous teams
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:49 pm
I don’t know who in hell has decided that Dallas should be favored against Atlanta, either. That’s retarded. I guess that’s just where all the action is.
Atlanta is better than Dallas. Matty Ice can carve that secondary up.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:49 pm
I miss the whole “corner” skits that wrestling used to have. Who doesn’t remember Brutus the Barber throwing people through the window of the barbershop, Piper doing all kind of crazy stuff in the Pit, etc. The whole “stand in the middle of the ring and talk” gets redundant – though the Rock was a master at it.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:49 pm
Only lines I like on this weeks card are GB(-6.5), Pitt(-4.5) and Oak(+6.5).
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:50 pm
not a big Rock fan. just a bunch of catchphrases. Piper is the best ever on the mic, followed by Flair.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:51 pm
when TNA pulls their head out of their ass and fires russo and hires paul heyman or jim cornette along with mr. kennedy then TNA will be viable competition for the WWE until then they are just a step below the major leagues.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:51 pm
I never have to admit to Paolo that I blew it, because I never actually gamble. I get all jittery, and can’t handle the suspense. I even get nervous when I buy a scratcher ticket.
So Paolo, all my bets are paper.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:51 pm
falcons didn’t exactly hammer bears last week—if it weren’t for an orlando pace false start or 12 men on field, that outcome at home is easily diff.
saw paranormal activity last night
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:52 pm
so paolo how are your bets going so far this year?
/doesnt give a shit
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:52 pm
You had me til that part.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:53 pm
The Bears are a LOT better than the Cowboys.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:53 pm
That was the point. it was awesome.
Yea Thats what pissed me off the most.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:53 pm
@sr1weeze – I wasn’t saying Indy’s a bad pick, just that the logic in your comment almost ALWAYS comes back to bite you in the ass.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Anyone ever catch Ring Of Honor wrestling on HDNET? That’s some awesome wrestling with way less of the talking bullshit.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Yeah I parlayed the Ravens +3 and Eagles -14 last week, the Ravens pulled out a miracle to lose by 2, and I thought I had it in the bag. Fuck Mcnabb.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:54 pm
I have, good shit.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Highlight of Pens homegames when Tyler Kennedy scores a goal – the PA announcer goes “The Penguins goal, his Xth of the season scored by #48 Tyyyylerrr Kennedy………Kennedy”.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:54 pm
The Bears are a LOT better than the Cowboys.
Dallas plays atlanta. Bears have the week off (and by that I mean Cincinnati).
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:55 pm
KENNEDY!
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:55 pm
Experienced gambler wisdom here …I have been burned too many times by such logic that I avoid many “easy” bets. If the line were -12.5 though …
At least one or more of my “easy” bets usually fail, as did those two weeks ago when I picked “easy” New England over Denver and “easy” Dallas over Kansas City.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:55 pm
anderson(mr. kennedy) has the potential to be rock like on the mic.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:55 pm
never mind mole. I missed a comment by vezina.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:56 pm
mole, the bears and the pokes are in the same grouping of inconsistency. there’s only a few teams WAY better than the rest. and a handful or more that are WAY worse than the rest. what would your line be at dallas and at chicago assuming personnel as it stands this week? not more than 3 either way
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:56 pm
What was the “corner” skit with the Undertaker and Paul Bearer called? Can’t remember. Don’t feel like googling. Anyway, it was sweet when he stuffed Warrior in the “air tight” casket for like 15 minutes.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Smart man ugly icon.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:56 pm
hey mrejr, i covered the state title game when werth’s chatham-glenwood squad, yours, beat waubonsie valley. what, 1995?
Chatham won football state in ‘98 I believe
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:57 pm
…. I know, someone said the Falcons didn’t beat the Bears by enough. But I guess the Cowboys beating the Chiefs last time out was enough to justify the line.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:57 pm
Might be true but he does not have the ability to be Rock-like in the ring. Everyone forgets that Rock was actually damn good in the ring.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:58 pm
i liked it when Jake the Snake slammed a casket shut on Undertakers hand, and then the Undertake dragged the casket with his hand pinned.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:58 pm
hell yeah but when they do talk it is horrible . there does need to be some talking. the wrestling is the best you will see though.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Smart man ugly icon.
I’m actually thinking about changing my name. I’m getting sick of being called Dirt.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Sorry you were talking Phillips ball.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:58 pm
Also the Falcons held Forte to like 20 yards rushing.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:00 pm
The Funerla Parlor. And Backlund won the title at Survivor Series when Owen tricked Helen Hart into throwing in the towel. It was Nash beating Backlund in five seconds at MSG that wasn’t televised a week later.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Neither of those are easy. Dallas sucks, and winning in Denver is never EVER “easy”. You have to ride the elite teams (Indy, New Orleans) and the truly horrible teams (St Louis, Tennessee)
Never got the big deal with him. He has the presence but he’s ordinary in the ring and just shouts all his promos like he’s stuck on a 1988 WWF Superstars episode.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:00 pm
change it to MVP
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:01 pm
NAME CHANGING IS WRONG
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:01 pm
Correct. Hart also won the title from Flair at an untelevised house show in Saskatoon.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:01 pm
I got a kick out of this, for the Steelers’ fans on here were really, really quiet when they got fucked because they did not cover. “Easy” bet yeah right. Betting successfully on a consistent basis is NOT easy.
At this time of the NFL season, I stay away for real. For college, I’ll play one or two for real like ND/USC O48 last week that I hit, but I stay away mostly until the rivalry weeks.
And then for the NFL playoffs it’s all great action again.
The rest of the time the handicappers are just too damn good and I don’t bet what looks like a 50/50 proposition ever when I can flip a coin for free.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:01 pm
yup it had kenny boyle on that team. he went to Illinois and sucked big time
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:02 pm
One of my all time favorite moments. Jake just pummels the shit out of him with a chair but Taker keeps coming back.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:02 pm
That was part of a brief feud between those two. I seem to recall Jack the Snake getting Undertaker’s arms caught in the ropes and then letting his snake bite ‘takers arm. Did I make that up or did that actually happen.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:03 pm
that was Macho Man who got bit.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:03 pm
You’re thinking of Randy Savage/Roberts, not taker/roberts.

October 23rd, 2009 at 2:04 pm
This is a fine example of hindsighting after winning the “easy” picks, but no admission of losses ever comes of course. Have you met Jay V? He does the same.
Two weeks ago the picks were all “easy” after the fact, and last week he was nowhere to be found likely because those “easy’ picks did not work out.
I hope it continues to work out for you, but I doubt it’s working out all that well for any serious gambler in reality.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:04 pm
I think that was a different deal. Didn’t that happen during the fake wedding reception after he and Elizabeth were fake married (after already being real married).
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:05 pm
Only reason I recall is we were there in ‘98. 2A.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:06 pm
I don’t remember that – I actually bet (not on paper) on the games last week, and I didn’t go anywhere near the Steelers line.
/hit 3 of 5, including my “big” bet on the HOU money line
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:06 pm
You should do this and set it up so every time you make a comment Voodoo Chile (Slight Return) plays.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:06 pm
Shit. You’re both right. Was Elizabeth involved in that? She was pretty hot back then. Turns out she was drugged up most of the time, so she was probably a good fuck too.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:07 pm
no, only savage. i believe it happened during the “proposal”
“ElizAbethhhhha”
“ElizAbethhhhha”
“Wiiiiilll you marry meeeeee?”
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:08 pm
It happened on Superstars around Survivor Series to set up Tuesday in Texas.

God bless Wikipedia
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:08 pm
There’s an episode of Love Line with Macho Man promoting his rap album, and the advice he doles out to callers is outstanding. It’s the best 45 minutes Adam Carolla has ever been a part of.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:08 pm
You know Lex Luger killed Elizabeth in real life.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Paolo – Of course there’s no way to prove it to you, and why should you believe Some Guy on the Internet, but there’s no way I would have put any money on either of those games. I also held off on Pittsburgh/Cleveland and Philly/Oakland. Neither of the favored teams are in that elite class.
Since you asked, my losses so far this year are SD -9.5 over Oakland in Week 1, and Tennessee moneyline over NY Jets in Week 3. I’m 5-2 this year.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:09 pm
yeah, elizabeth keeps screaming Randy while he’s being bitten, and Piper finally gets him out of the ring and keeps screaming get him out of here. They keep showing kids crying in the crowd during it. Heavy stuff.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:10 pm
I avoid many “easy” bets.
I don’t always avoid, just bet low amounts.
as did those two weeks ago when I picked “easy” New England over Denver and “easy” Dallas over Kansas City.
Had KC, knew Dallas was a fraud. But I also had NE who choked on a 2nd half cock. However, the day ended on a huge plus when I took Indy in the night game.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:10 pm
Wrestling turned to shit when it stopped being good guys verses bad buys. I think Diesel (Kevin Nash) was the first cool heel* who was cheered for beating up the babyfaces. After that, wrestling started to suck major ball sack.
*with apologies to the Road Warriers who originated the concept
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:10 pm
i was in atlanta when it happened. craziness.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:11 pm
*with apologies to the Road Warriers who originated the concept
Bruiser Brody was a heel who got treated like a face, even before the Legion of Doom. You’re right on, though.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:12 pm
I’m 5-2 this year.
Christ. I thought I didn’t play many games. I usually play 5 college games and 3-4 NFL games/wk. Have absolutely been killing it lately, but the first two weeks of the season weren’t as kind.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:12 pm
yeah, that was seriously intense for wrestling back then. the only time i remember being somewhat bothered was when Hacksaw Jim Duggan was being choked by Andre the Giant and started coughing up blood, then Duggan reached down and grabbed his 2×4 and skull cracked him to break the hold.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:12 pm
This is actually all Philedelphia’s fault, if you watch anything from there in the late eighties, especially NWA shit, they boo the hell out of the baby faces and cheer the heels (except the Freebirds, who are always faggots). That’s a strange city.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:14 pm
blame the canadians too. when wrestling started being televised all the time, and they would have a show from canada, they would cheer only for canadian wrestlers, face or heel.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:14 pm
For the record …about even overall in real money and having an okay year for college but not the NFL. And no it’s not “easy.”

The Freebirds are the best wrestling team ever. Those guys rocked (except Buddy Roberts). OK, so they were 67% the greatest team ever.

Canadian fans are kind of like that too. WWE is always nervous when they do TV here because they have no idea who’s going to be cheered and who’s going to booed. Edge used to get booed out of the building when he was a face and then he was the most popular guy on the show once he turned heel.

I think I told this story once, but Hacksaw Duggan once asked me if I had any weed. I was a teenager.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:16 pm
I totally remember that. I was terrified of Andre. Until I saw “The Princess Bride”.

Fantastic.

Mole I have that on MP3 funny as shit.

Duggan got arrested for weed in his hometown (not actually glenfalls new york I don’t think, some shitty suburb of it) during a weekend honoring his father (who was the chief of police) in the early nineties.

I got high with one of the Nasty Boys before a Rays game. Unreal shit.

For greater proof, post your PAPER picks on here BEFORE the games during “Pigsplosion” and “College Football Smorgasbord.” One of my paper picks usually is a real bet anyway.
Of course like me you probably don’t post the real picks due to the jinx effect, but as usual most folks don’t ‘fess up week in week out as do I.
That’s the only simple way I can think of to demonstrate some credibility instead of the typical “I won X number of easy picks” erratic posts by many a bojack.
Having stated the above clearly, I know that few will actually do it and just continue to be bojacks claiming “easy” picks only after they win them.

In 1987, “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan and Khosrow (Iron Sheik) were pulled over by New Jersey police after a WWF event, suspecting Duggan of DUI. After a search of the vehicle and the persons, police discovered that Duggan was under the influence of marijuana and alcohol, while the Sheik was high on cocaine. Small amounts of cocaine were also found in the vehicle. Duggan received a conditional release while the Sheik was placed on probation for a year. The mini-scandal that erupted after two in-ring enemies were found drinking and doing drugs together led to the end of the angle, the Sheik’s release, and Duggan’s temporary departure from the WWF

And Dirt is the title of one of the alltime best fucked-up albums. Keep it

Adrian Adonis got arrested in a small MN town next to mine back in the mid 80’s. He went to the McDonalds after a show but they had just closed. When the manager refused to reopen, Adonis threw a huge freakin’ boulder threw the window.

threw = through
Fuck me.

The most entertaining part of pro wrestling is all the bat shit crazy carny adventures that take place between shows.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:25 pm
there may have not been a heel more hated than Sgt Slaughter. I mean, little kids grew up knowing him from GI Joe, then they turn on wrestling and he is siding with Hussein. No better way to get heat from the crowd.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:25 pm
I think Mr. Saito was with him at the time but I only remember Adonis getting arrested.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:25 pm
F them and their beady little eyes and floppy heads.

The most unbelievable part of this story is that Glen Falls NY has suburbs.

Adrian Adonis got arrested
was Dirty Dick Murdock egging him on? Or was he in drag?
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:29 pm
This was during his AWA days when he was half of the East West Connection with Jesse the Body.
October 23rd, 2009 at 2:32 pm
I could get AWA wrestling at my grandfather’s house. He had the cable. He was always watching wrestling. But not quite that far back. He didn’t get cable till I was 12 or something.
I only remember Adonis in drag.

Remember Haku/Meng? He seems to be widely regarded as the scariest motherfucker on earth outside of the ring:

Polynesians are huge, powerful badasses. I remember that guy as King Tonga, though.
