Are these available to watch anywhere other than Vice? On Hulu Last I checked, it was only available with the live TV subscription. Hopefully that changes if it hasn’t already.

I love how they made Bill Watts look like a total mark. To be fair almost everyone fell for it BUT it was awesome to hear the story of Bill Watts falling for it, he's so egotistical and thinks his crap doesn't stink. I wish the man no ill will but I'm really tired of hearing JR deify the man and anytime someone calls out someone in wrestling for doing something bad (like a few years ago specifically Bill Demott) JR does a football coach comparison and starts an excuse with "my mentor Bill Watts." Like every story about a guy he's trying to excuse doing something awful in wrestling he starts with "my mentor Bill Watts" as in it's something Bill would have done to break a guy. That should tell us something right there. As a kid watching the Man on the Moon movie I had my mouth wide opened in shock for the scene where they revealed Lawler and Kaufman were working together.

Imagine you go to get a gallon of milk and you see Sullivan and his group entering and buying groceries

[...]Jerry Jarrett was the sleeper for me. I'm embarrassed to say I really only know he is Jeff's father, was a promoter, was most likely slated to take over for Vince and of course Bruce makes the guy look like a doofus with a stupid chicken salad skit. Jerry had great stories and it was really enjoyable listening to him. It's awesome that he and Jeff are working together at this stage in their lives. I mean, Jerry is 80 years old by now and I don't know if he had any medical issues, but since around like 2000 he evidently became a much slower talker. But, like I said, the guy is not the youngest anymore, and still I'm glad they had him at the table. I mean, you talk about Memphis, you gotta get The King and you gotta get Jarrett, if you can. Surprised they didnt get Bill Dundee. He is still alive and his memory was pretty good last time I saw him a few years ago.

Just watching the AWA episode now. DDP is really the only one really used to being a public speaker or major promo guy (I believe-so don't flame me) so some things fall flat compared to the Memphis episode with three or four guys with major personalities. It seems like there is some doubt from his fellow wrestlers about Ken's story about the kid throwing the rock/boulder and you can see Ken's noticeably change his facial appearance when asked about it. What a tale from Keirn with his Dad I used to go to shows with Nikolai Volkoff who I was friends with for a few years before he died. We met Steve at a show and Nikolai told me the story as I was shaking hands with Steve. It's even more incredible hearing all the details on the show as opposed to just a short meeting in the wrestler convention room.

I mean, we can rag on WWE for being awful and scummy, but some of these stories....wrestling really has always been just a massive vacuum of some of the worst people

Sports has similar stories, rock stars, actors. It’s not unique to wrestling at all.

If I had volunteered my wife to take hold lessons from Stu, that'd be grounds for divorce.

As a kid watching the Man on the Moon movie I had my mouth wide opened in shock for the scene where they revealed Lawler and Kaufman were working together. Same. The actual Kaufman/Lawler stuff happened before I was born but my Dad is a massive fan of Kaufman and would tell me stories about the whole Lawler thing pretty regularly. We went to Man on the Moon opening day and we’re both shocked

Watched a few of these on Youtube. The territories have always been a bit of a blindspot for me so i'm learning a lot of new things.
Granted i probably could have done without hearing the story of Bobby Heenan getting crapped on but hey what can you do?
So far watched the AWA, Florida and Kaufman episodes. Really like that they use the roundtable and have gotten a variety of speakers. I liked that about the Legends of Wrestling shows the WWE put out on 24/7. I feel this works better though because those shows could drag at times.

So if and when they get to Crockett, I hope Terry Allen is in it, it is about time his story is told.

I'm interested in the Polynesian territory episode next week. Dwayne Johnson helped produce these, yes? I am not surprised, then. It'll be fun to compare this to how it's portrayed on Young Rock, of course.
