The sad tale of Kenny was that in 2016 he was "told", hey we wanna use you for a few months and maybe a full time job if everything goes well. He then QUIT his real life job (did a no call no show) and then was like YESSS, I am back....they then never used him again on WWE tv and was basically out of a real job as well BUT, as of 2021, they hired him to be a producer so I guess it worked out for him in the end

[@Beavie]

Kurrgan aka Robert Maillet still lives in my hometown and even still works a regular job from what I know. Met him a few times, served him an iced coffee once when I worked at a Tim's. Genuinely nice guy. A gentle giant who hasn't let his Hollywood success get to him. Also fun fact: I knew someone who dated someone in his family, they were at a family gathering. Robert came and he brought a giant rotisserie chicken from Superstore, a large thing of potato wedges, and a big thing of coleslaw. That was all for him. And he ate it all. Legend. As a wrestler though, total boy, and safe to say me and Tom share him as a Bottom boy.

If you're looking for a wrestler who looks good in brown, look no further than Mantaur. That man (and arguably OSW favourite Berzerker) love it in brown town.

[@Carlitonsp1]

I think the issue with monsters going goofy is that once a freak is revealed to be vulnerable, they lose a lot of their appeal as scary monsters. It's faster to go from "AGH! HE'S A FREAK!" to "Haha, he's a freak!" then it is to build them back up from a loss.

[@Xehanort10]

When a monster heel has their first loss you can bet they'll be a comedy act within a month.

[@kevintran3285]

Undertaker I think is the only giant that was never booked like a joke. The closes would have been that one off air segment on Raw when everybody tried to convince Taker to do a spinaroonie but in the end he didn't do it.

[@stingray-sw3jj]

I wanna say Umaga, he kinda was a monster jobber to the stars but he was always presented as a threat

I guess Suburban Commando doesn't really count, but I feel like it deserves an honourable mention for casting Mark as a big scary henchman with the voice of an actual toddler.

[@Dessydd]

Can I just say, from the bottom of my heart, thank you for doing this. Thank you for being OSW. I've only just been watching since last year but have seen ALL the wrestling content, several times. It's given me a new appreciation of the squared circle. The blend of shoot and kayfabe. Ten years of content to devour I've been blessed with, which I consumed in an erratic order. Having the lore of OSW be revealed with suprise, understanding and confusion. Then when I followed the story lines you reviewed in order. It delighted me even more! To discover the quips and jesting terminology back to front made you guys even more entertaining and then engaging when I knew the punchline. Bravo guys. A winner is you!

(The absolute gaul of TNA to make anyone pay double to watch this show) -Bryan attempting to request a refund from Comcast live on air. (Comcast denied his refund) -And finally, Jessie Neil getting legit heat from real US veterans who watched the PPV and accused him of Stolen Valor because of his weight and haircut being in violation of the US Military’s standards, all because TNA portrayed him as an active servicemen. (Which Jessie had not been in years since he was in the middle of being a wrestler.)
