46. "Wow..no I haven’t!"
In response to In response to 42


  

          

Clearly I have work to do! I added this JYD book to my audible stack. I’ll come back once I get it in. JYD was my shit as a lil lil kid. And my pops was sure to pump him up to me. There’s no telling what my dad knew about JYD and his drug stuff but whatever he knew, he didn’t clue me in on it. My pops worked for newspapers in Houston and back then, there was still a little bit of the Japan-style ‘covering wrestling like it’s real’ stuff going on…at least for midsouth.

Funny and random as hell aside, years later my pops knew Tony Norris…the dude who gained 40 extra pounds and became Ahmed Johnson for a bit there. He was in great shape before throwing on that ‘look good to Vince’ weight. He randomly called the crib when I was back home from college. Said he was ‘Big Tony’. I recognized his voice somehow so I clowned with him for not using his working name/not protecting kayfabe on the phone and then he came clean! Haha.

And know that you pierced my soul with your take on WWF signing Dog to kill him. They did it with a bunch of folks so I prolly can’t be too salty or hurt just cuz Dog was…err…my dog. Those dudes got action figures and, in some cases, easy ass in-ring assignments (more show than go WWF style vs the southern, more physical style of a UWF or midsouth for instance). But yeah, killing the territories was clearly the goal. Side: if Corny tells stories about Dog being drugged out with Watts, there’s no telling what dude was doing in New York.

SMW on YT? Aight. Good looking out again. I ran myself into the ground over the weekend with rasslin and documentaries..ngl. But I’ll be good by next week to jump back into some rasslin history study. Thanks for this.

>>Yes yes yes. A million times yes. I had them in midsouth
>and

>>And yeah, I was scared of those dudes like Japanese folks
