Scott Bowden coulda been a contender (Pt. 1)

As a result of a likely payoff to editor Bill Apter (who needed the money to pay for his daughter's braces...even though she was in her 20s), Pro Wrestling Illustrated inexplicably named manager Scott Bowden the No. 8 contender in its much-ballyhooed OFFICIAL RATINGS.

Funny. Scott Bowden was a combination of Jim Cornette and Jimmy Hart. "Number 8, baby. Look at it; #8!" That had Jimmy Hart written all over it.
