Hey….I’m back! Like you noticed I was gone J

I can’t tell you all how overjoyed I was to see that Ed Koch post. It was decades in the making.  You see, I remember when I was little Allen Keyes, and I’d watch People’s Court with my brother, Mr. B.  Up until this point, our favorite episode was the one where Judge Wapner made a horrible screw up (he didn’t realize dry ice was cold, and therefore ruled for the wrong litigant) and when he had his sometime Q and A with aspiring legal students at the end of the show, he got absolutely shown up by them and looked stupid.

But then this came along.

It was the perfect storm: Clueless Ed Koch, awful, out of control 5^th-rate “wrestlers”,  court reporter stiff Curt getting shown up, and a strange Chinese man menacing that douche Harvey Levin (I’ll rant about him another day but I can’t stand that little egg-sucking cretin)

 Thank god the videotape was on for this one! We watched and laughed, and laughed, and watched some more. Then we forgot about it for years – decades really. And one day Mr. B and I were talking and what do we remember but Titanic Tony again! And we laughed and laughed.  And searched in vain on the internet for it for oh so long.

Nothing! We searched the net for at least 5 years off and on for clips of this, for any mention of it! Nobody even knew about this hidden treasure.   And then, Mr. B finds the holy grail of videotapes (no, not the deluxe director’s cut of Stayin Alive) and I near crapped my pants laughing when I saw this again. So it really makes my sad life that much brighter that this video now exists and is out there for the world (and ME!) to see at our leisure.

So eff you Harvey Levin! You know why.

Some random thoughts on this one:

• Most like as not, the main participants are all deceased. Those fatso wrestlers probably died of heart failure years ago, unless they died of stupid first. “Crazy” Don Rock (hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha) probably died of moustache dye poisoning. I give the man credit, it takes a superior being to rock a two-tone moustache.
• Wouldn’t it have been hysterical if the young guy who was in training at the time turned out to be a major wrestler now? This tape could’ve been worth a mint!
• Titanic Tony HAW HAW. Rule of thumb from an old veteran wrestling watcher:  if you wear airbrushed outfits, YOU MOST LIKELY SUCK.
• The Behemoth……I wonder why he never made it with the WWE  😉

 “It’s Schtick!”  lol
