Yeah...there was real artistry to the sport back then.
Just look at someone like Jake Roberts...he could sell a situation just by how he looked in the camera while talking.
This is also a great example...
Cornette's conniption fit while this is happening is beyond perfection and I don't think it goes anywhere without it. It tells the whole story. A casual or non-fan could watch that and understand what's happening and that it's major shit.
lol I was literally listening to the Drive thru as I read that.
You mentioned the missing word 'Sport' That's how it should be sold, when they make people forget it's a work and sell it as a legitimate sport or that there is at least a legit hatred between the wrestlers that's when they draw money. Rarely happens anymore.
Jake was scary to me as a kid not because he was loud, but because he was quiet. Promo's he did where he looks down the camera, and you could see his eyes, you knew here was a man who had seen shit.... and he had. Especially with his dad being Grizzly

They never released the contents of the suicide note.
Chris was the runt of the litter. He had really bad asthma as a kid, took that awful steroid, and it impacted his growth and caused brittle bones.
He attempted to wrestle but it simply wasn't feasible. Reduced to tagging in to wrestle Percy Pringle (Paul Bearer).
He couldn't deal with it and killed himself.
Here he is in action...

I enjoyed that first match, Percy Pringle had such an expressive face for selling. Main thing wrestlers these days seem to miss is that. You see way to many taking and giving big moves with no expression at all

Someone on mygnr has finally called out the clipping on the bass drum throughout.
Thought I was the only one who heard it.
The appalling mix notwithstanding, this is just so amateurish as to be laughable. Right up there with the CD liner notes debacle for me.
GNR is incapable of not fucking up things other bands don't fuck up.

It would seem its somehow both. At least its better than Hard stool, that song wasn't released it fucking escaped.
HAHA. That's a funny phrase. But it's also funny the diversity of opinion. I really liked Hard School, demo and as-released. It felt like a song fans would have loved in 2000 and it also had a vibe that could have fit into a 96 record. And I thought it still worked.
It makes it even worse for me because out of all the locker leaks stuff i probably liked Hardschool the most. But they neutered it completely, hacking the intro off, the mix is awful. It's a shame

I finally got around to giving the 7' a spin on my record player, The General is clippy as hell, but i have to say i thought Perhaps sounded great.
#77 Re: Guns N' Roses » The General and Monsters » 92 weeks ago
i love the song tbh but look how crap the artwork is on my copy. Is this just a UK thing or is it the same for anyone else here?

Separately, on another day maybe a month later, he was asked about his comments album releasing an album with the current songs, and that received no comment.
Regarding when he was asked about that, and gave no comment. Was that after the current lawsuits were known about publicly?
