    I remember in the early 2000s, Sky Sports would show episodes late 80s Wrestling Challenge. Then they switched to WCW Worldwide from around time that Sting was kicked out of the Horsemen. I loved the combination of Tony and Dutch. The commentary was great and the matches were fantastic

    There are a number of things you can always expect from any Sheiky story:
    1. Lots of cursing;
    2. Sheiky either taking, or trying to get, his "medicine";
    3. Something illegal happens (usually either perverted, physically violent, or relating to controlled substances);
    4. In the end, lots of cops appear;
    5. Sheiky not comprehending the problem he's caused, leading to a final hilarious last line from him.

    I always thought "Sid Vicious" was one of the worst and laziest names ever. I can understand how Dutch(having spent the punk days working the territories in the south) didnt know how famous the Sex Pistols are, but to the rest of the world it was like you had named a wrestler Paul McCartney or Ozzy Osbourne. Completely crazy,

      thats a bit of a stretch. Sid Vicious wasnt THAT famous. Its not the same as calling someone Michael Jackson. and its been done in other instances. Look at Michael B Jordan. Yea, he uses a "B", but still. Michael Jordan is certainly more famous than the Sex Pistols bassist.

    The tittle of a story can tell you if the story is going to be good. So here we have a story with The Iron Sheik and Sid Vicious! OK, so right there I know there is a 95% chance this is going to be a great story. So, the next thing I find out is 4 wrestlers ae staying in a "Motel 4" (not 6 but 4) because its not as good as a Motel 6 (2:21). OK. The odds of this being a good story increase to 98%! When I heard that I was drinking a margarita. And then I heard the phrase when I KNEW 100% this was going to be a good story. At 3:37 he said they found a club with a gravel driveway and a gravel parking lot!!!!!!! I paused the video and poured myself a fresh margarita. (2 parts Tequila, 1 part Lime, 1/2 part Pierre Ferrand Dry Curacao and 1/2 part Elderberry flower liqueur).
    I have been to ONE and only ONE club that had a gravel driveway and gravel parking lot. It was a place called "Everybody's Talking" in Santa Rosa, California (circa 1990 -1998). It was the 2nd biggest dive bar I've ever been to! (The 1st was some place in Reno, Nevada about two blocks down the street from "Fantasy Girls"). Age wise, I was in my 20's and 30's during those days, thanks for bringing back those memories on a boring Los Angeles day for a dude in his 50's now!
    If any of the girls from back in those days of "ET's" happen to read this post, "holla at your boy" sometime here on TH-cam by responding to my post!!

    • @jamesb1988
      @jamesb1988 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The problem was that Sid was forced to do it, despite his objections/saying he wasn't comfortable with it. He probably had an injury settlement guarantee drawn up to ensure that if he got hurt that he would be handsomely compensated for it.
