Yesterday I drove by my local KFC and damn near slammed on the brakes when I saw the Georgia Gold ad up on the sign. ......the WWE put a legit goddamn ad for something modern in the middle of their parody videos - it didn't distract and fit in PERFECTLY.

Yeah on LAW radio one of the dudes just went on about how the whole thing was insulting and made him angry because of how mean spirited it was in a very matter of fact tone. Really don't know how you could watch this and come off with mean spirited. The people involved putting as much effort into it as they did shows how much they love it Wrestling fans carry a certain amount of self-hatred inflicted upon them by the business. I can see how some people might see this as an indictment on fans that loved this kind of pro wrestling. Some people think Vince has his paws in literally everything when he clearly doesn't.

I thought it was mainly derived from Kevin Sullivan's act down in Florida, where he'd summon Purple Haze from the ocean and stuff like that. USWA and SMW had a lot of goofy gimmicks like that as well, Christmas Creature and all that. So you would think that Cornette (the guy who booked SMW) would have a sense of humor about this. I guess not. Cornette misses the point more than Lance Catamaran misses his father.

I didn't even watch wrestling back in the 80s and I loved this. I hope they consider doing more of these, even switching people in and out like the territories would do.
"Our next event, April Reign, will take place on April the 31st...."

I keep coming back to this and god I hope it blows up huge.
Also, I already liked KFC best of any fast food outlet, but now...goddamn if I don't want some KFC just as a thankyou. If only they did Georgia Gold over here.

Wait! What? This might be one of the most affectionate looks at southern wrestling I've seen. It's obvious that there's a real love for the style of product that they're poking fun at. It's like the Airplane movies. Yeah on LAW radio one of the dudes just went on about how the whole thing was insulting and made him angry because of how mean spirited it was in a very matter of fact tone. Oh for f***s sake...if people can't tell that this was a parody that was done out of respect for the territory days, I really don't know what to say about that.

Man, you know what completely sucks that I just realized? All the easily chantable stuff was from people on SmackDown, but I'm skipping out on the post-Mania SmackDown to start to home a day early and with Rusev injured that basically leaves nothing from Southpaw for me to chant at the post-Mania Raw. Something will catch on. Much like life, post-Mania Raw crowds find a way.

That was more of a mockery of my grandpa - whose hair was just like Chett's and who drank liquor that looked exactly like that (he was the only person I've ever known who drank it...that coffee colored stuff? I forget the name...) - than it was Gordon Solie. And I didn't even know Solie was an alcoholic of any sort until this thread. Watch TV, grown up children pundits: depressed people with a glass of booze in their hand have kinda always been a thing.

So the cast I can tell is Lance Catamaran: Cena Chett Chetterfield: Fandango John Johnson: TJ Perkins Tex Ferguson: Luke Gallows Chad 2badd: Karl Anderson Clint Bobbski: Chris Jericho Pelvis Wesley: Heath Slater Big Bartholemew: Rusev "The Banker" Mr. Mackelroy: Tyler Breeze Surf Dudes With Attitudes: The Ascension Christian Joy: Lana Ric Flair: some impersonator Chip Henderson: John Cone (likely) La Barba Grande: Luke Harper (likely) The Sea Monster: ?? I'm pretty sure Flair was actually him and that was kinda the whole point of the joke. Actually, I think the reality is; Flair is so strapped for cash he's taking gigs as a Ric Flair impersonator.

I dunno, I kinda think SRW has a pretty mediocre title scene. John Johnson doesn't seem like he's all that over. I'd rather see Ferguson vs. 2 Badd for the title. If they do more they need to can Chett and bring in some other guy who works as the TV station's weather man, in a nod to Dave Brown.
