Plenty of moments in pro wrestling prove to be genuine, bona fide head-scratchers. But that’s not always to say that these situations are poorly conceived, offensive or downright crazy. Sometimes it’s the art of the swerve that yields raised brows, double-takes and a healthy amount of laughter and profane exclamations.
Take, for example, the old “Death of the Bruise Brothers” angle from Memphis Wrestling way back in 1984. The whole bit started with an allegedly grief-stricken Jimmy Hart appearing in the television studio to advise Lance Russell that his infamous tag team The Bruise Brothers (a.k.a. The Dream Machine and Pork Chop Cash) were – as he put it – “no more.” Now, the Memphis fans were accustomed to all kinds of chicanery and deception from the much-maligned hart and his “First Family” and despite the fact that Jimmy laid it on thick, the studio audience wasn’t buying it…at first. But as time went on and Jimmy spoke at length about his tragic loss and rolled some news footage complete with an apparent funeral procession, many fans likely wondered if perhaps this time, Hart was telling the truth. Even Canadian Lumberjack Jos LeDuc made a cameo in a scene from the funeral home, musing about mortality and the like before summarily dismissing the camera crew from his presence.
Eventually, the truth came out and the whole plot turned into what is likely one of the funniest moments in the history of Memphis Wrestling. But for a second, there, The Mouth of The South had a lot of folks saying, “WTF?”

As discussed in the most recent episode of Mat Minutiae, Mike Bessler has launched a new campaign to become Facebook friends with the patriarch of pro wrestling punditry, Bill Apter. Mike was inspired by the brain trust over at VoC Nation who recently mounted their own campaign to compel, coerce and cajole Vince McMahon into eventually inducting Apter into the WWE Hall of Fame. Watch this space for details regarding the forthcoming “Get Bill Apter to Friend Mike Bessler on Facebook Fan Conclave.”

About Mike Bessler
Mike Bessler is a writer for various and sundry pro wrestling-themed magazines that are found on spin racks and shelves of finer gas stations and grocery stores around the world. For the better part of his 38 years on Earth, it’s been Mike’s sole dream to become Facebook friends with Bill Apter. As a child, Mike would sit on the filthy and disgusting floor of the seedy newsstand on Winchester Avenue in Ashland, Kentucky for hours on end, thumbing through the so-called “Apter magazines” as he inhaled an unhealthy amount of secondhand cigarette and cigar smoke from the adjoining pool hall. In the decades since, Mike has enjoyed a number of personal and professional accomplishments including a wonderfully fulfilling marriage, the many joys of parenthood, becoming the first person to have work published in both a British journal of economics (Capital and Class, issue no. 89) and in the world’s most acclaimed professional wrestling magazines, and seeing his work included in the holdings of a Russian museum. But sadly, his greatest of ambitions remains unfulfilled: Mike wants to be Facebook friends with Bill Apter.
If social media has taught us anything, it’s that larger-than-life celebrity types like Bill Apter love being the subject of extensive and protracted Internet campaigns. Little people of the world, spread the word far and wide! Tell Bill Apter to friend Mike Bessler on Facebook!
Seriously, Mike would do it for you. Probably.
This is it! The somewhat-anticipated return of Mat Minutiae — this time as a triple-length, 30+ minute tour de force — featuring a steaming hot mess of complaints, grievances and other associated nonsense along with special appearances by Mr. Akbaz, star of various and sundry podcasts on thebradyhicks.com, as well as Nemar “King Magnus” Wells, co-host of the celebrated VoC Nation radio show.
Additionally, the esteemed Chauncey “The Gaudy” Fentura enters the fray, offering his caustically irreverent musings on the state of pro wrestling and the quality of Internet-based wrestling-themed psudeojournalism. Is this the end of Mat Minutiae as we know it? Is this pulse-pounding episode the equivalent of a Nibiru-sized collision that’s ultimately destined to annihilate this award-nominated podcast? Listen and find out, bitches.
By the way, this episode is offered as an m4a, enhanced audio file that’s iPod compliant. So…you’re welcome.
Here are the top three wrestling news stories as of this very moment…
3. WWE news: WWE has reportedly withdrawn its contract offering to Chris Hero, allegedly due to issues revealed through a medical exam. NewsWire Flash-Commentary: Apparently, the WWE wellness politcy is modeled after the plot from Minority Report.
2. TNA news: Jeff Jarrett has temporarily stepped away from Impact Wrestling to take charge of TNA’s new project in India, Ra Ka King. NewsWire Flash-Commentary: Up to this point, my favorite combination of wrestling and Indian culture was from the outdoor festival montage in Rang De Basanti.
1. Even more WWE news: WWE has confirmed that this year’s Royal Rumble will feature 30 competitors. NewsWire Flash-Commentary: Nevertheless, the action will likely pale in comparison to the fight scene in They Live.
