I really feel for these guys. I mean, if only there was some way to educate themselves about domestic violence, its causes, its effects on the victims, and the historical sweeping under the rug too often attached to it. But alas, it seems there's not an ounce of requisite reading available, and for that dearth in…

Bonus idea: if you give some time to a Stu Hart character running a "training" facility out of his basement, you'll have a built-in gay S&M audience, and the money will start rolling in.

Fucking brilliant

Make this happen. Now.

Dude, a whole show based on burly Minnesotans arguing over plates of lutefisk and hotdish about who's going to go over? God, damn you, you brilliant bastard.

I volunteer my services as researcher and archivist!

You mean the UWF that couldn't even compete with Crockett and had to sell out? They weren't weakening? The NWA was basically code for "collusion", and the strap quickly became exclusively JCP's strap. WCCW was going to explode with the quirks of the Von Erichs anyways. How many are still alive?

It's a toss up: Brody's murder would provide a good sub-story for the season after death (the best part would be Dutch Mantell's testimony — we can at see him practice the testimony he would have given, in a mirror or something, right?) whereas we'd get to see a season's worth of Bravo's cigarette smuggling and mob…

"Produce a product where titles mean nothing and pay per view's are the only place to see any matches of value? Check."

A miniseries about the Von Erichs would make Game of Thrones' body count look paltry.

Can you please not link your movie and game reviews? Based on this comment, I don't want to accidentally click and read your writing.

Oh wait, they're not on TV. So this website, and the public at large, could give a flying shit about that injustice.

I'd wager none of the midcard or lower wrestlers get appearance fees, they do it all "for charity" at various events. Maybe some of the top name guys get to do private events. There is game royalties and PPV bonuses but that's included in the 50k. Because they're "independant contractors" they pay tax in every single…

thank you for your service in WW2

Yeah, that's the point.

You really don't read context, do you?

why does the economic exploitation of one group of manual laborers excuse the exploitation of another?

And that there's women wrestlers, apparently.

So most of your basis of disliking McMahon today is because your nephew is bad at explaining things?

The connection between shitty labor practices on the part of wrestling higher-ups, leading to wrestlers doing what they have to (drugs) to hold on to their independent contracts, is just brilliantly fleshed out here.
