I still think a Muhammad Hassan episode should happen. Sure, it was such a brief run, but focusing on how the gimmick turned from "disenfranchised Muslim" into terrorist, and even focusing on racism in wrestling in general could work.
Not to mention a lot of focus on the segment that ended the Hassan run.

I wonder if the problem with Ian Rotten is that he's just got no upside, for want of a better word. He's not a lost soul, or a tortured genius, or an icon with a dark side, nor is his story especially outrageous. He's just a totally irredeemable gobshite. They did an episode on Rob Black, who's just as big as a gobshite.

I'm kind of surprised they still haven't done Ludvig Borga. Is there anything to say besides “Cover up those Nazi tattoos?” and his alleged “Exit Only” tramp stamp tattoo?

The fights he had with The Mountie which the Steiners instigated. He was a bully according to JR, but he has sworn not to appear on the show again, so not much on that. He was depressed and always drinking, and not good with fans according to Bret Hart, and was relieved when on fan asked for his autograph. Other than that, not sure.

the "GLOWING RED EYES CAUSE HE'S A DEMON!" thing is super hokey in the Chris Adams reenactment. I couldn't believe they did this. It's so f***ing stupid

Well, I appreciate the honesty of The Sandman episode. It just starts rollin' from the get-go.

Some missed opportunities though with the Sandman...nothing on when Missy managed him? Lori shoot injuring her arm cause she heard they were having sex? I mean, Missy HAS been doing commentary for other episodes, sooooo...
(Or do they still have heat [after 30 years!] and Missy didn't want to do the show if Lori was getting commentary spots too? Better yet, saving it for Missy getting her own episode??)
No LSD trip, thinking New Jack was Godzilla?
No exposing himself at that 2000 house show?
In kayfabe, the blinding angle could have been mentioned. The time he caned Mikey and they got kicked off Florida stations cause Woman acted like she was having an orgasm too.
And I do not buy Macaulay Culkin being in the running to "play" Tyler Fullington. Sounds like a Hogan-ism, honestly. First Mac was too old for the role, and second, the ECW fans would tear that idea a new butthole.

No confirmation on him being some sort of millionaire from construction? I remember that little factoid about him being spread back in the day.

Speaking of the Steiners, that might be an understated idea for a future episode. Being bullies backstage in WCW, being stiff to opponents, Scott's loose cannon tendencies on and off of wrestling shows, Rick's outburst at that con 1-2 years ago...

Also that he ended his life by eating his gun.

Are these YouTube videos associated with the Vice series? Or is someone just using the DSOTR name?

I had no clue Jeff Gerstmann was the Sandman's kid.

Sandman is an amazing interview. Sometimes this show just works I do find it kinda funny how Sandman doesn't see how someone would have a problem with the Crucifixion angle. and obviously it was all because of Kurt Angle that it didn't go over...
