    Has anyone seen the latest GF commercial where the two guys are in the background karate fighting? It looks like they just sneaked into it while Mac was talking. Pretty funny.

    I remember his live commercials during the old championship playoffs/finals.

    He would go through his monotone routine, and at the very end, like a second before the live shot ended, you see him "unloading" from his overpowerful speech with the wad of cash.

    It would be great to take the Benji's out of his back pocket.

    How much $$$ you think he's got in one handfull?

    You gotta add the Mr. Norman commercials to the list as well, Chance.

    How funny is it that whenever we start having in-depth Mac discussions, we always end up creating a tangent discussing of old school Houston Wrestling that eventually takes another tangent into a discussion of the commericials played during Houston Wrestling.

    Peter Burkholtz, Paul Boesch's co-host, is/was a business professor at Sam Houston State.

    pg,

    I had to give you credit, you were all over it.

    "is/was" which is it... or was it?

    Really though, was he a professor before taking the job, or was this something he did after?

    You guys call yourselves fans of Houston RASSLIN. Please...

    Check this if you think you can hang :

    Commercials :

    Stubbs Cycles
    Love Furniture
    Pick Your Part
    Mr. Norman
    Gallery Furniture

    Shows that you waited and suffered through before RASSLIN came on on Saturday night :

    The Porter Wagner Show
    Ralph Emery's country music show (can't remember the name)

    On Sundays how 'bout that re-run of the Saturday night matches? But of course you had to wait until the Don Mahoney & Jeana Claire show with their Kiddie Troopers and their damn cowbells.

    Wrestlers? Can I get a hell yeah for the following Houston RASSLIN legends? :

    Ox Baker (the heart punch!)
    Mil Mascaras
    Bruiser Brody (was extreme before there was extreme)
    Rocky Johnson (father of the Rock)
    Tony Atlas
    Superstar Billy Graham
    Leaping Lanny Poffo
    The Great Kabuki
    Blackjack Lanza
    Red Bastien
    Harley Race
    Ivan Putski
    Ken Patera
    Alberto Madril
    Tiger Conway Jr. and Sr.

    Lastly a trivia question now that this thread is SO off-topic :

    Jose Lothario discovered a kid who he tag-teamed with. The kid turned on him and turned into a heel. He was then managed by one of the more notorious managers in Houston RASSLIN history.

    Name the kid and name his manager.

    If you know the answers, I will declare you a Houston RASSLIN Cauliflower Ear. ;)
