I don't know how to embed tweets but cornette called it horseshit and is refusing to even watch it. I was curious to see his reaction. This parody clearly comes from a place of love not of mockery. You can tell from all the subtlety put into it that all of these guys were big fans of these older and smaller territories. Hell there's hardly anyone in the company these days that didn't first cut their teeth in the Indies. Exactly. From what I've seen that's how that time was. They just turned up the volume a bit.

As badly as I want to see an actual Lethal Leap Year event, I hope they don't do it. I would hate for this to be overdone. I'd like to see a few more episodes highlighting the fall out of Lethal Leap Year though! As much as I'd love to see Lethal Leap Year, it would be the most amazing thing if all we ever see is promos and segments from after the show with them having lost all the footage because the owner recorded over it. EDIT: If we get to see what was recorded over it, even better!

In his second promo, Big Bartholomew describes himself as a broken man. Tell me you wouldn't pay to see "Broken" Bartholomew? "Creature of the Sea... I knew you'd come!" What would happen if Sea Creature swam in the Lake of Reincarnation? Edit: Wait...what if Sea Creature is from the Lake of Reincarnation Also, did anybody not have "Corny will hate it" on their SRW bingo card?

One of the great underrated moments for me is the line about Clint Bobski's dad owning the station, and that's the only reason he has his job.

Cornette SRW is pretty much Memphis wrestling. Stop being such a party pooper.

I love Cornette, but if he was booking a promotion today, it would probably look like SRW, but without the humour.

I say bollocks to it, just do Lethal Leap Year as a one off. It'd be funny if they wrestled in the old rasslin' style and had those old skool stipulations like the loser leaving town or getting his head shaved.

Chad 2 Badd vs Tex Ferguson is gonna be a Blindfold Match, with Tex not needing the Blindfold...BUT...if Tex wins, he gets that nice green coat that Chad was wearing because we all know it's a coat that TEX CAN'T EVEN AFFORD!!

If that happens, I want a Greg Valentine run in so he can put Tex's other arm in the armbar.
