i just discovered OSW after seeing someone mention kane frizz in a comment section, and as someone who was absolutely captivated by the frizz progression during my first watch of the 2001 royal rumble, i was thrilled to find out there's a community of us out there who are enthralled by this phenomenon.

i just wanted to share an honorable mention which is the steel cage match against triple h (february 1, 1999) kanes hair is visibly dripping from the ends when he comes down the ramp, but somehow during the twelve minute scuffle, his hair dries up HUGE. like you have to see it for yourself to believe it because these pictures don't even do it justice. this could possibly break the frizz meter. i'm thinking somewhere near 150%

it's also notable that x-pac comes out and legitimately splits kane open with the steel door, which leaves the mop visibly streaked with blood by the end of the match reducing the frizz level down to about 75%, so the maximum frizz is short-lived, but still unbelievable to see.

i just discovered this podcast after listening to the 'kane will set himself on fire' episode, and i literally had to rip my airpods out of my ears to avoid laughing out loud at work. the electrolarynx impressions were killing me. i then listened to the katie vick episode, and somehow they even made that train-wreck funny. it looks like they covered most of kanes monumental moments, but they need to do more kane-centered episodes because the way they talk about him is hilarious. definitely happy i discovered this pod.

i recently learned about the von erich family and am so unbelievably intrigued by the fact that kerry von erich wrestled for years with a partially prosthetic foot. if there is anyone in this subreddit that has been following wrestling for 40+ years, i'm curious if there was any speculation that he may have had the amputation? were there rumors? knowing now that he had a prosthetic, it's easier to notice that his right boot appeared fuller. i know there's a story about his boot being pulled off during a match, but did word spread and did people believe it? or did it seem like a made up story since the von erichs were insistent that kerry was healed? thanks!
