885: The Royal Rumble

[BrownEyedBtch]

I don't think you guys talked about the greatest RR match ever (didn't watch Sunday night - apparently it didn't matter), but my personal most memorable RR match came at the end of the 80s/beginning of the 90s, don't recall. Anyhoo, one of my fave tag teams growing up was Demolition, and Ax and Smash were the first two to enter the rumble, so they fought it out, then turned on the third guy. Other than that, having Chyna enter the rumble, then getting thrown out was fantastic. But lately the rumbles have been stale because the winner is so obvious going in. The same 5 people have been winning the rumble over and over. If they changed tradition and made the rumble winner the Money in the Bank winner, then it would be better, because the Money in the Bank winners have usually been unpredictable.

Also, at least these days the women are actually wrestling instead of just getting all dressed up to do nothing. Of course they're still green and only put on such a limited match, but they are doing a better job of giving the women something to do. And some of those women are showing off some talent, like Beth Phoenix, Melina, and Trish (I miss her).

Great show!

For a show to be about something I have absolutely no interest in yet still keep me entertained is something. Well done Keith, Girl, Shoogbear!

I compltely fast-forwarded through all the wrestling talk - but I am looking forward to Shoogbear's next comedy submission.

Regarding The Great Khali, i found this on Wiki;

"Dalip Singh Rana’s (The Great Khali) training schedule consists of two hours of weight training, morning and evening, every day. Maintaining his size requires a strict and intimidating daily dietary regimen: one gallon of milk, five chickens and two dozen eggs, along with chapatis, juice and fruit."

I probably should have mentioned it on the show, but the Great Khali killed a dude once training to wrestle:

Interesting note, when you book Jake Roberts for a show... you provide the snake. I think it's something legal, but he can't (or doesn't) travel with one anymore. One of the shows I was on there was some sort of stink about the guy who was supposed to bring the snake showing up late and Jake "The Snake" might have had to come out without his trademark snake. The snake dude ended up showing up during intermission with a massive albino python that was awesome.

Refer to Spooky's epic story to learn about the Snake Hunter.

Just for the record I like Jesse's story better.

Okay, I've heard the story. For some reason I was thinking "reality tv star that I'd never heard of" Snake Hunter (figured there'd be a show for that somewhere). I think Jake Roberts win the crazy contest, but Snake Hunter sounded like he could handle himself in a fight. I'll go with Snake Hunter.

Ok i used to be a wrestling fan so here goes my 2 cents.

The Great Khali was also a prison football player in the "longest yard" remake with adam sandler. He is from one of Keith's favorite countries (India) and used to be a cop and pro body builder.



And keith/shoogbear mentioned Edge's Vampire character. (he's on the left)
