I'm a question in the 90's Edition of Trivial Pursuit for a match where I teamed with Screech from "Save By The Bell" against Luna and Gangrel. It was filmed but I have yet to find the footage. https://t.co/ZwIKNEbnYa pic.twitter.com/1XUq4I9pqb

When MSP worked AEW Dark we were getting our portraits taken. Jim Ross comes walking up and the photographer, Speedy, says "hey Jim, wanna hop in for a photo?" And without skipping a beat says "Nope!" And proceeded to walk through the shoot rather than around
Speedy snapped this https://t.co/R4YagW9xy7 pic.twitter.com/Ls9IaNKkSh
