Back in 1991, Bill Watts did an interview with PW Torch and made these comments: - “If you want a business and you put money in, why shouldn’t you be able to discriminate? It’s your business,”
- “That’s why I went into business, so that I could discriminate.”
- “I can’t tell a fag to get the f*** out. I should have the right to not associate with a fag if I don’t want to. I mean, why should I have to hire a f***in’ fag, if I don’t like fags? Fags discriminate against us, don’t they? Sure they do.”
- “Who’s killed more blacks than anyone? The f***in’ blacks. But they want to blame that bullshit Roots that came on the air. That Roots was so bullshit. All you have to do if you want slaves is to hand beads to the chiefs and they gave you slaves. What is the best thing that has ever happened to the black race? That they were brought to this country. No matter how they got here. You know why? Because they intermarried and got educated. They’re the ones running the black race.”
- “Lester Maddox was right. If I don’t want to sell fried chicken to blacks I shouldn’t have to. It’s my restaurant. Hell, at least I respect him for his stand.”
Maddox catapulted to infamy in 1964 while operating a chicken and burger restaurant in Atlanta at which he refused to serve blacks. He also drove them from his restaurant with a pistol and pickax in hand. He closed his business after a federal court ruled that he must integrate the facility.In 1994, Mark Madden brought the interview to the attention of Hank Aaron. Mr. Aaron — who, at this point, was not only a baseball legend and a prominent civil rights figure, but also an important executive with Turner Broadcasting — petitioned to have Watts fired. Or Watts quit for other reasons, if you want to believe his word. Either way, Watts was out and Ole Anderson was in, albeit temporarily. Not long after, Turner decided to go with a choice outside the box, Eric Bischoff. "Easy E" went on to fire Anderson, take WCW to Monday nights to compete with the WWF, and eventually change the entire wrestling business. This has gotta be one of the absolute worst. Watts was such a piece of shit.

Rick Martel being in WCW in the late 90s. I genuinely thought he retired in like... 1994. His late WCW career is actually when I was introduced to him! Even though he didn't have much of a character and didn't do a lot at that point, for some reason I just really liked him.

Ken Patera. Threw a rock through a window at a McDonald’s in Wisconsin, as we’ve all done at some point. Mr. Saito went to prison for 2 years for his role in the same incident. Unless there was more involved, 2 years seems like an awfully long time for breaking a window, jeez.

Wow, 3 pages in and my "favourite" hasn't been mentioned. Nash v Sid in a powerbomb match, as in, to win you have to powerbomb the other. Ref gets knocked out, when he comes to, Sid's out, Nash said he'd done it, and wins. I unironically love this one lmao

I really really dug Zwan and wished that band didnt implode, Jimmy Chamberlin is one of the best drummers alive and him and Billy Corgan always bring the best out of each other and I was excited to hear more upbeat tracks from Corgan and what Jimmy can do with that style of music, sadly only lasted 1 album and it was done. Damn this is such a good answer. I'm a huge Pumpkins fan and I absolutely loved Zwan. That whole album was so good, and I was heartbroken that they broke up.

God it was just SO atrocious during this period.
I'd been begging for the brand split to come back for years and I felt so vindicated when it finally happened. Brand Split Smackdown at its worst is still lightyears better than "we're literally only doing this show because we have the TV deal" Smackdown.

Eh, he’s done alright post WWE. I hear he’s been around the world, and had his way with many, many girls. Unlike you.

I tapped out after PC Principal showed up, and also their depiction of Caitlyn Jenner (a person I can't stand, but they went about it in a way that was f***ed up and offensive even for them), and also just for a number of reasons I can't discuss here.
Good for their fans but no thanks.

At the start, some guys you could point to: Dr. Jerry & Eddie Graham, hated bleached-blonde team known as the "Golden" Grahams. Rocca would frequently team with Miguel Perez (Sr.) to face them, hugely popular duo. The original Royal Kangaroos (Al Costello & Roy Heffernan) were another team fans wanted to get a piece of, using their boomerang as a weapon to steal wins. The Basteins were another popular pair. (Most main events were tag affairs then, usually for the US Tag Titles.) As far as I'm aware of, there is only a couple of TV shows available from the mid-60s "if you know where to look" (*wink, wink). A young, freshly heel Cowboy Bill Watts is in that footage. (Watts was the first "Bruno protege" to turn on his mentor.) Looking at your list, almost every one of those guys was a star of some sort. Been reading the book on Hawaii by Ed Francis, and he puts over "Handsome" Johnny Barend as a huge star. He was another big name in the area in the 60s. Think Buff Bagwell in the top hat, but with a cigar and actual ability. The Golden Grahams genuinely sounds like something that would show up in Southpaw or something similar. That rules.

For some reason I saw his constipated face as such an evolution in graphics. His facial expression is so silly, but it really was a big step forward! The texture resolution on his face was crazy good for the time.
