JIM CORNETTE'S DRIVE-THRU 05/04/20
Jim Cornette talking about the Barbarian drinking in a bar in 1985: "He was in the hotel bar and was drinking. They wanted to close and he didn't want them to. He wouldn't let them close the bar. He wouldn't get up. If they weren't going to serve him, he was going to reach over and serve himself. They call the cops. He is not creating any incident. He's not trying to get sh*t free. He just is not going to leave and he is not going to let them close the bar is the way I heard it. There was not a big fight or anything until the cops got there. By that point, he was not going to let them take him out of there or close the bar either. When they tried to, then there was some resistance. It took like 7 of them to get him out to the car. He either broke a set of handcuffs and they had to do the double handcuffs. They couldn't get his hands behind him. He headbutted the roof of the police car in getting mad at them and busted his head open. He ate the mace. They sprayed him with the mace and he licked that off and ate that. Finally, he decided, ok I'll go with them. Then he goes and they sew his head up and he head butts the wall and busts his head open again."
AEW UNRESTRICTED 05/06/20: TONY KHAN
Tony Khan talking about his ideas for empty arena came from: "When everything shut down, I watched a lot of other programming. I watched a lot of wrestling. I watched a lot of other stuff too and tried to get an idea of what people were doing with the restrictions without an audience. The thing that really captivated me was I have a really good friend who is a writer for Jimmy Fallon who works on the tonight show. I watched the show Jimmy Fallon did without an audience and he had his writers and his band in the studio, a small group of people and their laughter and the exchange they had made all the difference to other talk shows where they were out there cold. I thought the Tonight Show and Jimmy Fallon were really on to something and I thought that is what I want to do...The next day I figured we can have a babyface side and a heel side and that was good too."
GRILLING JR 05/07/20: WRESTLE WAR 89
Jim Ross' talking about Ricky Steamboat not knowing Terry Funk was going to attack Ric Flair after the match: "I think Ricky had a tumultuous marriage. I think that was probably his biggest cause of consternation. But to not be informed of what was going on after your losing the world title was disrespectful and that's how I perceived how Ricky felt. How much disrespect, we didn't know? Again, as my role as a broadcaster, I tried to stay away from all that stuff. I didn't want or need that extra information. I didn't have a clue he (Terry Funk) was going to do that. But you don't do that to your world champion because earlier in the day, when all that was discussed, he was the world champion, but he wasn't treated like a world champion. Enough was enough and we lost a really good talent."
