General Adnan has passed away

He was one of those guys I always saw in the magazines and he sort of scared me. Which is a great thing. Little did I know he was originally Billy White Wolf, Native American wrestler. Ad, the crazy world of wrestling.

If someone made a video of just the bedpan "dong" 100 times in a row, I'd watch it.

I watched this just the other day, I found the DVD while I was moving house.

Still an incredible doco all these years later. The Rock/Foley stuff is so, so much harder to watch now when you see how Foley walks, and when we know what we do about CTE. It's as squeamish as I've been watching any wrestling (child killers excluded.)

It's probably all that would stop me buying this blu-ray, is that I'm not sure I need or want to watch this again in 2024.

seeing Jake The Snake's massive gut on a cinema screen was traumatic back in the day.

JB Hifi has the release as next week (15th) being the "special edition" I hope it's the 'directors cut' that had more footage - I had that on VHS (came with a t-shirt from Target of all places). I upgraded to the dvd version later but it was just the standard movie. in any case I'll be adding this new bluray to my collection if JB does have it in stock next week!

clearly an angle

Thought so

Must still be quite a few fans (vs also the stores not ordering many copies in) it sold out at few JB's... had to trek to one further out just to get it

Not sure this is "classic" wrestling, but I stumbled across this on Youtube tonight - the final episode of MTV's Wrestling Society X, which was never aired on television, and which was warped on (apparently) about 50% of their DVD releases (which I bought, cos this was back in the day when I bought lots of ROH dvds when they had sales every 2 weeks.)

Holy christ this show is so extra in every conceivable way. Watching this episode, it was probably the pre-cursor to Lucha Underground.
