Finally got around to this. Holy hell this was amazing. I said in the MVP thread that I had to pause an episode because I was laughing so hard I was crying. Whoever came up with Tex Ferguson wearing two eyepatches and sunglasses is f***ing brilliant. Every character is just phenomenal. I want to see Tex Ferguson v. Chad 2 Badd (big up for rock music playing when he entered the promo) so badly. Seriously you did more to want me to see a match in a total of a minute than you do with hours of WWE programming every week. Tex Ferguson is f***ing money. Chad 2 Badd is jealous of that, too

If the Ascension changed their gimmick to the Surf Dudes With Attitudes, they'd be tag champs right now.

If they do more of these then they need to get Randy Orton in on this as a parody of his dad. Have him wear casts on both arms and legs. I dunno, given modern Orton is a sort of throwback to the old school in a lot of his style already, I'd like to see him as a parody of the sort of "Sensational new up and comer" or "high flyer" who was never that high flying like Jimmy Snuka. Bill him as the most daredevil innovative wrestler going, and his finisher is just something like a splash or dropkick or slightly different body slam.

It did cross my mind as I was writing it haha.

I want a scene where a guy in studio is getting savagely beaten and Lance Catamaran keeps saying "Oh no! Stop that!" In his same calm voice Lance Russell and Gordon Solie style "What in the Sam Hill is going on?! Cut the smart stuff, Mister 2 Badd!" (Daughter and I loved this. Tex is great.)

Would be fun seeing Orton as that super smiley babyface that was billed as "electrifying" and "pure excitement".

I hope they don't do any more segments. You just don't mess with perfection.
What REALLY bothers me is that I spent some time in Mobile during the summers in the mid- to late-1980s and somehow missed this.

This "show" does remind me of the old Continental wrestling stuff, which you can find bits of on You Tube. CCW (or CWF) ran out of Alabama mostly. I only know about it due to some of the stuff Foley talked about in his book and also for some of the violent stuff Eddie Gilbert booked there. It is overall considered a lost territory since there isn't much footage of it out there other than the Financial News Network era run.
Anyone else think Chad 2 Badd sounds a little too 90s for this particular era? That gimmick sounds more like 1993 era USWA, where he could be the 3rd member of PG-13 along with JC Ice and Wolfie D.

SRW references are better than watching raw

Lawler should play the head booker of SRW, Fritz Van Der Verne, who insists on pushing his untalented and probably drug addicted son, Gary. That might hit a little too close to home for Lawler, though...

Do we give them wacky names, or do they remain Surfer Dude #1 and Surfer Dude #2? If we give them names, I suggest Sunny Hangten and Brody Sexwax. Also, another underrated moment: Tex using the crutch as a machine gun while also blinded in both eyes. I'm so glad I got this reminder of how funny Luke can be without doing a stupid sketch about balls. He's a Good Brother.

I've had the little monster music riff when the Sea Creature appears in my head all day.
