Haven't listened to the episode yet, but I'm sure I read in the summary he's still going with the story he never saw wrestling in his life, was plucked out the crowd in Mexico and then straight into the main event? Despite Jericho confirming years ago that story was bullshit? He talked about how he saw wrestling when he was younger but was into Hockey and got into other things and was bodyguard of Milli Vanilli and once that blew up he wanted to wrestle again and he was told either go to Mexico, Japan or Memphis. He spoke vividly about hearing Demolition music is what made him want to try wrestling again. He chose Mexico and basically said he got to Mexico and was supposed to be a jobber but the women loved him and that propelled him up the card despite him having no business being in that position. His look is what made him stand out because of the rock scene and he got put into the main event. He partied got into drugs and all types of other stuff before reaching WCW. Is the interview worth a listen? I can't say as I've ever seen him wrestle, despite knowing who he is. After this, I'll stop sidetracking the thread.

It was a good listen as he has a somewhat interesting story. It's two parts as him and Steve talked a good bit about his lucha undeground match and things he has done such as helping police force and stuff like that. Nobody really ever remembers his wrestling as much as how cool the gimmick was. I had nothing much going on when I decided to listen to it and I would recommend it if you got nothing going on to occupy time.

Dont remember X-Pac wearing this predominantly black DX gear much, obviously the heel DX era since Jericho is there:

Vampiro as Vampiro Casanova in CMLL: Again this could be one that more knowledgeable fans know (I've never seen it myself) but your average fan wouldn't recognise him. I think the face paint look was a wise choice! Reminds me of Michale Graves of the 90s Misfits lineup

More Waltman (hanging out with Juvi), this time in DX AND nWo gear. The internet (or maybe just me) would have creamed themselves for this in 02:

Man, Juvi has noooooot aged well. Somebody do a side-by-side of him with Bo Dallas, because THAT face...
And looking at those pictures of Vampiro, I had no idea he was ever that, well, good-looking. Him and Raven are pretty much the poster children for "these are your faces after this many years of hard drugs".

Saturday Night Slam Masters is NOT a recent video game. The model for Alexander the Grater is loosely based on this attire. Same can be said for Raiden in the Fatal Fury game series. 1) He didn't say the game was recent, just that he saw it recently. Some of us play old games. 2) Alexander the Grater in SNSM was based on Vader, but not this full black mask version. He was maskless (excluding his entrance helmet. 3) Raiden from SNK was based on Vader in general. The full mask was only one of his Vader-style attires. He also fought without it, looking far closer to WCW-era Vader, as "Big Bear". I'm pretty sure he had that mask as an alternate outfit in one of the King Of Colosseum games. Probably where he saw it.

Just seen this on WWE.com, don't think he's ever wore this, would've been cool.

What's the story with CPO and the eyepatch? It's legit, but how and when?
He was a Quebecec in 1994 and a pirate in 1995, but never gave up the patch.

Oddly enough, for the short time Quebeccers were in WWF in 1998, they had three different outfits. Not sure if the red one was their first, but they had a black topped outfit for the February PPV and by WrestleMania or the next PPV, they had a light blue top.
