Haku watching the Shockmaster for the first time might be the funniest thing I’ve ever seen

It's so sad to hear when someone has pain or doesn't feel very good, but refuses to go to see a doctor. It makes you wonder if he could have battled his cancer sooner and lived a longer life.

No mention of his tryout gimmick for WWF, a Lumberjack managed by Slick

I don't get it. At all. It's kind of a small horse, I mean what am I missing? Am I crazy?

Saggs looks like he should look given his age and years of wrestling

Episode 2: "Buff and the Bagwells" Episode 3: "Terry Gordy: Final Flight of the Freebird" Episode 4: "Saving Face: the Brutus Beefcake Story"
Interesting, I thought that they were going to save the Brutus Beefcake story for last.

That was such a tough episode. Quake passed two years before Mom, and to cancer as well. While they didn't get everything, it was a nice tribute to one of the great gentle giants of professional wrestling.
I did like that they went over his incident with Kitao.

Josephine and her children are such a close and loving family. Despite sadness, I'm sure this was something special for them-a tribute of sorts to John. It's not like WWE is banging on the door for a HOF induction (with that being said, it wouldn't surprise me if this year is THE year for him).
It would have been cool for RD to have an on screen part but there's really so much to pack in 40 something minutes. I'm mixed on the Shockmaster bit. Of course I laughed for the five minutes. And it's more of a buffer or intermission between the sadder parts. But having seen it on TV now, it did seem very much out of place and after Shockmaster it went right to a commercial so it's not like it was linked to John having bad gimmicks in WCW.
I wish they had spent a little time on his Shark tattoo as to this day that really fascinates me. I still don't get why no one thought of a better way to cover up the tiger tattoo.
Ultimately, the biggest takeaway is the aspect of love of the family dynamic. It really speaks to the heart how loving, loyal and special Josephine is and the great children they raised.

I'm honestly surprised the Natural Disasters aren't in yet. Since they had figures and were in 2k16-18.
