I shall snap into a Slim Jim before I'm snatched up in the blink of an eye.

RIP, buddy.

RIP He was great to watch and was the best Slim Jim Spokesman ever.
If the South should lose, it means that the history of the heroic struggle will be written by the enemy, that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers, will be impressed by all of the influences of history and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision.

Very sad deal.  I had my picture taken with him back in 1998, when he made a publicity stop at the Wal*Mart by the mall.
11/19/2023:  Keeping my original semi-prophetic, apocalyptic signature below.  We continue to regret passing on Norvell, who is in the running for the Playoffs.  We continue regret passing on Kiffin, who is eyeing a New Years 6 game.  Heck, we regret passing on Drinkwitz (he may be a dork, but he will have his team in a New Years 6 game after they truck us on Black Friday).

Meanwhile, Sam is drinking Pittman, wondering if he has the leverage to re-hire Enos, Sexton is doing the triple Lindy into his Olympic-size pool full of cash, and thousands of hog fans are planning to dress up as empty seats for next year's Halloween game.

11/25/2018:  My original "Chad Morris" signature is below.  I'm modifying my view as follows:  We will continue to regret passing on Norvell and Kiffin.   After 3 years, when Morris is 10-26, we are going to be saying "What were we thinking?  Even Bert was better than this!"

Found an article about Hogan where he said that he & Mach had started to communicate again and were regretting their 10 year feud.  Hogan's words:  "We miss him a lot. I feel horrible about the ten years of having no communication. This was a tough one."

RIP to one of the ALL-TIME greats!!!

Spooky.  The Macho Man passes, & they close the plant.  May not matter since the world ends today.

ConAgra is a POS anyway.  One of the worst examples of corporate welfare.

RIP, Macho Man.

Was Macho Man related to Leaping Lanny Poffo?  Did LLP change personae later?  I remember him from the 70's, but lost track.

excerpt:

Savage was a minor league catcher in the 1970s for St. Louis and Cincinnati before turning in the uniform for tights. His father, Angelo Poffo, was a longtime wrestler, and his brother, "Leaping" Lanny Poffo, was also a 1980s WWF mainstay. Condolences from fans poured in to Lanny Poffo's Facebook page on Friday.

He was definitely one of the great ones.  It didn't hurt that he had Miss Elizabeth on his arm either.
A veteran is someone who at one point in his life wrote a blank check payable to the United States of America for the amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor. There are way too many people in this country who no longer understand that.

he spiraled down bigtime after Elizabeth's Death and blamed Lex luger for her death had a big story on it.
Macho man was unique in that HE NEVER changed his personality and he had one of the best Intro Music songs of all time and he has the Best elbow drop in the business  ntm the fued between him and hogan will always be the greatest since it spilled into Real life.   ill just say noone has lived till they have listened to his rap album!

cool Story Bra..  but im willing to bet you couldnt even climb up the turnbuckles or do a leg drop without breaking something or getting winded ;)  those guys even some of the ones who arent roided up and are not so toned would embarasse you in fitness.  heck. wrestling isnt anymore fixed than any other professional sport or entertainment.

Sorry dude. I play real sports. Im not trying to climb a turnbuckle and do a leg drop  that doesnt really hurt someone. I do play Racquetball  4 times a week (at the "A" level) and I also coach  a girls 18&U softball team.  Did you say Wrestling isnt any more fixed than any other pro sport????????  Are you retarded???

Explain to me how a 250 pound man jumping 15 feet in the air and landing on you wouldn't hurt?

Don't you guys know it's fake! I play real sports 4 or five times a week! Manly sports like badminton and shuffleboard, IN THE TOP FLIGHTS! On the weekends I coach a traveling women's lawnbowling team. We play sometimes 2, 3 straight games without sitting down and re hydrating ourselves. Anyone who wants to participate in anything that has to do with "rasslin" should be ashamed of themselves because everyone knows that it's fake and that nothing they do really hurts or compares to the athleticism it takes to compete at the levels of which I do!

Just because they're ENTERTAINING people doesn't mean they aren't athletic. Wrestling isn't fixed it's staged. I've worked for for Wrestling shows before. It's basically an off broadway version of Hamlet with steroids, man thongs and enough physical force to break any bone in your body.

Look at it this way. Is Ballett a sport? Most would say no. You have to be extremely gifted physically and athletically to perform it, and once you've learned all the moves, rehearsed them with your partners and go out on stage to perform in front of an audience...you can most definitely get seriously hurt or injured if you don't perform the moves and choreography, or worse yet, hurt someone else. 

Wrestling is the exact same thing except it's geared toward a different demographic.

I've never watched wrestling, I think it's silly, and I don't really get the appeal of watching oiled-up steroid freaks with their clothes off (not that there's anything wrong with that).

But you can't deny that much of what they do is athletically impressive.  And dangerous.  They really do get hurt.  Some of the moves, if "real", would actually kill the person, but the fact that it's staged to not kill someone doesn't mean it doesn't hurt.

Well, in his defense, if you get hit by one of those racquetballs, they sting like a mo-fo.  And it is possible to break a bone in a racquetball court.... that is, if you don't know what the heck you are doing...
