I dunno. If you think about it the Shawn Michaels/Brett Hart Iron Man Match from WM12 was a hour long draw. There were lots of lulls in the match and lots of old school grappling, but I thought it was entertaining. Problem is that its has to have lulls in the action these days. Most wrestlers couldn't pull off what they did.

That was also 20 years ago and involved two of the best wrestlers who ever lived.  I remember watching Flair vs. Steamboat go an hour and never once feeling bored.  I've seen Kawada and Kobashi beat the hell out of each other for an hour, inside the ring with actual wrestling moves, while building around a psychology of repeatedly going after injuries.  The pacing in those matches was good and the drama continued to build and build.  That's because those guys knew what they were doing and the booking was solid.  They were all extremely familiar with each other and used to carrying main events on their backs.

Even now, with all my criticism of the WWE, I'd still trust them to map out a 60 minute match in a way that involved unique spots and memorable moments that would serve to keep the crowd engaged.  Simply having guys roll outside to extend the length of a match does not accomplish that.

Its not shocking he as those viewpoints. He has been around for decades and most people I know that are around that age still have some of the old feelings. He should have had enough sense to make sure he wasn't being recorded when he was saying those things though.

Bubba the Love Sponge! Hulk supposedly had an affair with Brutus himself but I don't think there is a tape of that!

Everyone else might already know this but I just now learned the idea to tape Hogan having sex with Bubba the Love Sponge's wife came from ... Bubba the Love Sponge.  Gah.  It was an "agreement" they made.  Then Bubba got mad at Hogan about something, possibly for being fired from TNA for the stupid things he said about Awesome Kong, and released the tapes somehow.

These people ...

Edit:  By the way, your avatar ... is that intentional?

What?! is this true? This is bordering on some sort of sick wrestling backstory that played out in real life.

Yeah, seems to be true.  Supposedly Bubba taped her having sex with other guys, as well.

In the court records is Bubba’s 2014 deposition, in which he talked about his provocative radio show, described his friendship with Hogan, and detailed the security system he had in place both at his office and his house. Bubba also explained his wife’s attraction to Hogan and how having sex was “unequivocally not [Hogan’s] idea.” Bubba insists he did not download the recording in order to sell it.

“It was very much an error in judgment,” Bubba said in the deposition on why he burned the DVD. “It’s the biggest mistake I have made in my life.”

The atmosphere on the Bubba the Love Sponge Show was one of “organized chaos” and an “insane frat house,” Richard Peirce, who worked on the program, said in a deposition. Strippers and porn stars were frequent guests. Bubba’s sex life with Heather was a common topic both on and off the air. Employees testified that Bubba — whose former name is Todd Alan Clem, which he changed because he ran for sheriff in Pinellas County and wanted his name as “Bubba” on the ballot — would often show them nude photos of Heather.

“We all had seen her naked,” Peirce said.

An indie promotion needs to take that whole story and run with it.  Maybe with Adam Cole and Veda Scott, they both do sleezy well.

The Warrior had a pretty good rant on Hogan a few years ago, pretty much confirms the wife swapping. Reason why Macho Man hated Hogan as much as he did.

It looks like Bubba the Love Chocobo  >o

In other news, I'm watching RAW live for the first time since I turned off the "Kathy and Hoda" episode.

Ambrose getting squashed by Show was interesting.  Good of them to put over the up and coming talent.

Cena's nose looked brutal last night. He should have won after the attitude adjustment, not by making Rollins tap out. It made the World Champ look weak especially with the broken nose.
