In this week’s best pro-wrestling news, Scott Steiner is the newest Shoney’s restaurant franchisee and will be opening a “fresh new Shoney’s” in Acworth, Georgia. Big Poppa Pump is your breakfast hook-up!

To celebrate the announcement Scott and his brother Rick drove a bulldozer to the stank old Shoney’s while patrons were still inside and started tearing it down. Watch the above clip for the drama of what happens when you have a bulldozer but forget Rick Steiner’s riding in the bucket. I love that they bought a Shoney’s, made a point to destroy a Shoney’s, then got so hungry destroying said Shoney’s they needed to EAT AT SHONEY’S.

Here’s the script for their next commercial: “You know, they say all restaurants are created equal. But you look at Shoney’s and you look at O’Charley’s and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you eat a buffet-style breakfast at a restaurant, you got a 50-50 chance of enjoying your meal. But Shoney’s is a culinary freak and it’s not normal. You’ve got a 141 and 2/3 chance of getting full at Shoney’s. See, Acworth, the hunger don’t lie and it spells disaster for you!”

Holy shit the word "Shoney's" hasn't entered my brain in years.

 

[Jarrod38]

I think the last time I ate at one was like in 1999. Can't believe they're still around.

Steiner: "GIMME A FUCKIN BULLDOZER"

 

[JustenP88]

I thought Shoney's gave everyone ecoli and shut down or something.

They went through franchising purgatory, but a small number of independent locations stayed open.

 

[Transistor]

Holy shit, I haven't heard of a Shoney's in years.

 

[XenoRaven]

Shoney's is the second most Scott Steiner restaurant in the world.

Number one is obviously Cracker Barrel.

 

[Redd]

Whoa, I haven't eaten at a Shoney's since the late 90s. Brings me back.

 

[Goro Majima]

Next thing you'll tell me is that Perkins still exists

Or Bennigans.

 

[Semblance]

Dang, no sympy for that building.

 

[Mermandala]

Bring back Big Boy statues Poppa.

 

[Cagey]

Next thing you'll tell me is that Perkins still exists

Or Bennigans.

Perkins does though.

I even see people in the parking lot at the one near my house, meaning people go there. I assume to eat.

Going to a Perkins when there's an actual diner 2 miles away in New Jersey should be punishable with jail time.

Perkins is alright with me.

 

[JensenBeeswax]

Dang, no sympy for that building.

Nice..

 

[Sanjuro]

Next thing you'll tell me is that Perkins still exists

Or Bennigans.

Oh, boy. Bennigans!

 

[XenoRaven]

Next thing you'll tell me is that Perkins still exists

Or Bennigans.

I know it's been a few years now but when that Tiger Woods infidelity stuff came out, one of the women was a Perkins waitress. While most people's reaction was "Oh my god Tiger cheated on his wife" my reaction was "Oh my god Perkins still exists" and "Oh my god Tiger Woods eats at Perkins".

Time to ask Google if Ponderosa is still around.

 

[BobTheFork]

Haven't eaten there since breakfast was 2.99

It saved me some money and eased up my mind.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I loved Shoney's as a kid because they had free lollipops

 

[Netherscourge]

Need some Bulldozer Divas.
