So I've always known that Patrice O'Neal was a writer for WWE a couple times. But today I discovered he also appeared on a November 2000 episode of Sunday Night Heat! He plays "Dante", a Chyna trainee!

On top of all of that there's a HEEL REF! Pure insanity and I love it

This 'Persian Club' challenge with Iron Sheik & Ken Patera that turns into a brawl that turns into a match (?) was so violent and out of control that it basically ended the boom of wrestling on cable public access.

[Wrestlespective @Wrestlespectiv3]

@PrinceofS2 It's telling that the material was so bad that even Hayes couldn't save it

[Wrestlespective @Wrestlespectiv3]

Did anyone in WWF think Dok Hendrix was cool? Or did everyone know it was shit?

Vince later sold the Coliseum to The Christmas Tree Shop

[Book Pro Wrestlers @BookProWrestler]

Before there was Titan Towers, there was the Cape Cod Coliseum.

As the WWF grew into a national powerhouse, the company outgrew one headquarters after another—from Cape Cod to Greenwich, then Summer Street, before finally settling into the legendary Titan Towers.

Today, WWE calls its new global headquarters home. Think how many of wrestling’s biggest moments were imagined inside these five buildings?

Salivating 🤤

Today I will be uploading, from 1999, perhaps the most star studded wrestling show ever to air on cable access featuring such stars as Ken Patera, The Iron Sheik, Doink the Evil Clown, Jimmy Snuka, Jim Brunzell, Bill Irwin, Jim Neidhart, Tatanka and of course Dirk Malibu

The butterfly effect of this store leading to ECW and modern wrestling is wild!

[Allan @allan_cheapshot]

#OnThisDay in 1985: The Squared Circle, probably America's first store dedicated to wrestling merch, started just outside Philadelphia, holding a tiny booth less than 150 square feet in Levittown PA's I-95 Marketplace. The grand opening was attended by Bruno Sammartino.

@10thWonderUK I don't disagree. It's unfortunate but it's the way it goes. I mean I'm about to turn 40 and I love this shit, but the wrestling nostalgia I'll show my kids is like Mania 8 and 2007 ROH. But I'd still try to expose them to all eras if they have an interest cuz I'm a dork lol

[Wrestlespective @Wrestlespectiv3]

Lotta Nick Bockwinkel talk this week. All I'll say is, I like his selling

[Wrestlespective @Wrestlespectiv3]

@HLecture62914 Sure was!

[Wrestlespective @Wrestlespectiv3]

@notyourspam He's great! Gotta recommend this match against Curt Henning

@JimmyFromTheQ Those Tennessee punches are untouchable

[Wrestlespective @Wrestlespectiv3]

@RayBtwin91 I forgot that was two cages! Yes but not the bamboo either 😂

[Wrestlespective @Wrestlespectiv3]

I still think the cage within a cage concept has legs! Just don't do the dogs

[WrestleTalk @WrestleTalk_TV]

A look at the new round steel cage for the 12-man tag team match at AEW Forbidden Door tonight!
