Weird News Thread Part III

Cut the guy some slack.He can't hel[p it if he's just a big fan of Indonesian style fried rice.

 

Meh....we all know that, with Iran's permission, Caligula claimed inventing calligraphy. As Rome is South of Italy's Mason-Dixon line only the neer-do-wells live down there so they don't count. Naturally "my people" were from the North.

Nyah...nyah!!

 

The latest bad guy on the Appalachian wrestling circuit? Dan Richards, AKA ...




The Progressive Liberal

In character, Harnsberger tells crowds he'll take their guns. He says he wants to "reprogram" Trump supporters to make them favor renewable energy over coal.

"I know how you stupid Trump voters think," the Liberal Progressive says in one videofor Appalachian Mountain Wrestling. "Allow me to illustrate: dur-dur-dur, I love coal. Dur-dur-dur, I love mountains."

And in the ring, he finishes off opponents with a move called the "Liberal Agenda" he described recently to Sports Illustrated:

"It's just a cross-arm neckbreaker, so if I'm standing in front of you, I'm grabbing each of your wrists, crossing your arms, then twisting you for a standard neckbreaker. I call that the Liberal Agenda so then the announcer says, 'Oh, he hit him with his Liberal Agenda!' "

Wrestling fans seem to eat it up. In one video, a gym full of spectators boos Harnsberger as he makes his entrance before a match; a group of kids scream at him from just a few feet away. In another video, Harnsberger gets into a shouting matchwith a fan. The man calls him "D.C. girl" and starts a chant of "Bye, bye, Hillary!"​

PL should post here! Would be the natural foil of CCJ, stage name "Jimmy SuperLie Snookered"

"I know how you stupid Trump voters think," the Liberal Progressive says in one videofor Appalachian Mountain Wrestling. "Allow me to illustrate: dur-dur-dur, I love coal. Dur-dur-dur, I love mountains."

 

This classic scene comes to mind. NSFW or the Trailer Park:

 

I had a friend who approached a Western PA / Eastern Ohio circuit with an idea he thought would be the most offensive character imaginable: a flaming gay Southern nationalist who wore trunks made of the battle flag of the army of Northern Virginia, with a tattoo across his midsection reading "The South Will Rise Again" with an arrow pointing, ermmmmm, south. His schtick would be campy racist rants, thereby offending gay people, black people, racists, etc etc. The character's name? The Confederate F A G.

It was a no go.

 

Not bad, but he could have just dressed as Hillary.

 

Hmm...could also be someone dressed up as an egghead Harvard prof spouting scientific facts and bodyslamming religion.

 

This was around 2010 or so. Hillary was at a high point, so it wouldn't have worked. "Dan Richards" has clearly taken advantage of the Anti-Hillary slime machine kicking into high gear a year or two later.

 

... OR... a cage fight

 

I'm thinking these guys are ripe for a comeback:

and win matches as a result of a two count (rather than the conventional three count), purportedly due to Affirmative Action.

Yer damn right, that's f-in bullshit! Next thing ya know they're gonna want a black prez-ee-dent.

 

The only person who can save America now is a man who would not settle for victory by a mere three count, but insisted on a five count. A man so honest he could only have come from New Jersey. A man who, in addition to his unparalleled character, is a technological wizard:

 

This led to Microsoft delivering Windows 1.0 whose siblings continue to deliver it's plague indiscriminately around the globe!

 

This is such a ridiculously simple and genius idea.

 

Good God. I know there are going to be people who will pay for that tripe.

 

In every other thread, this would constitute a drifting away from the purpose if the thread.

Not so in here.
