Come to me .... and live forever.
Let's keep in mind that LuFisto nearly retired due to a back injury, and then suffered a stroke that probably hangs over her head every day, and then suffered a knee injury during Wrestlemania weekend.

Not that she's the only wrestler who ever had problems or injuries, but that's a lot of heavy physical stuff to deal with in addition to the emotional. Now that she's starting to get up there in age and pain, I wonder how she reacted to losing the Gut Check vote for TNA or if she's ever had a strong interest in trying to join one of the big two.

Everyone can jump on the Hate Colt Cabana bandwagon as much as they like but getting a loving dart thrown at your mouth and having it poke you in the lip is so amazingly disgusting and dangerous I can't even find the right words to get properly ragey about it, ESPECIALLY at a JCW show. All this proves is what a bunch of jackasses the Gathering of Juggalos crowd are and that they're nothing but a bunch of lowlife scum who collectively need to be shot out of a cannon. Honest to god worthless people.

It sucks he got hit in the mouth, but the guy has become so bitter and whiny about not making it in WWE that his show has become unlistenable. He's got a very niche ring style and that's fine, but I don't know why he gets so salty when it doesn't appeal to everyone.

People keep asking about it and a lot of it has come out at the same time with the Steen and the Meltzer interview. He's not any more bitter than he's ever been. Dude's still amazing.

Always shocks me about how quick people are to poo poo on a guy for being bitter about something that they have a legit reason to be bitter about. WWE fired him because he was an indie guy who wasn't supposed to get over or a Jew depending on who's asking. TNA hasn't hired him because they're a bunch of loving idiots. ROH fired him because Jim Cornette is the real bitter idiot of all of this. Have you all never had a bit of adversity in you life? Have you always been magnanimous in defeat at the levels he's at?

No, he's absolutely more bitter. When even Steen is telling him, in so many words, to jack it down, and Colt is admitting to it, maybe he should try doing something else.

I have never once heard of him being fired for 'being a Jew', though I absolutely believe that's what Cabana thinks. TNA hasn't hired him because what the gently caress are they going to do with a one-note comedy character when they're already not using Eric Young? Joseph Park is funnier than Colt is.

And no, I have never experienced any adversity in my life. Thanks for asking.

Zack doesn't talk about how happy he is with his life in one breath then turn around and start bitching about being released the next. Zack's just all whine all the time.

Being told you're not good enough to pursue your 10 year+ dream while watching underwear models go on to million dollar contracts, that's some serious poo poo to put up with.

Zack made a misogynistic music video, whines all the time and as Mick Foley revealed never goes to Vince McMahon with any of his problems. Zack had a point at the start of it all but somewhere along the way became a complete dickhead about it.

Colt just talks on a podcast and admits to being unhappy that he got so close to his dream of being in the WWE and having that dream taken from him and that's proven too much for some internet nerds who would obviously never whine or complain if that happened to them.

It really sucks that his dream got crushed, and maybe it's therapeutic for him to air his grievances all the time, but it's not really fun to see anymore. At first it was interesting, but now it's like... we get it, Colt. We get it.

I'll admit I got sick of it and stopped listening to Colt a while ago, maybe he's gotten better. I wasn't even originally posting about this, I just thought "THE LAST REAL HEEL" thing was so lame in that video haha. Maybe he was intentionally trying to be lame and that's the joke

That's my feeling about it. It's been years since he was let go, he seems to be doing okay (and better than most) on the indy circuit, and he gets to wrestle all over the world without being under Vince's thumb. I don't need to hear this guy complaining.

When Kevin goddamn Steen (a guy who should be just as bitter about Cornette if not more so) was the more reasonable one in their interview, I was done.

A lot of people went through Developmental at its worst. As a worker, his ceiling in WWE was and always will be fairly low. I don't think he can really accept that. Scotty Goldman, to me, was just an exaggerated version of what Colt always was and instead of realizing he kind of pigeonholed himself to get over on the indies, he just blames the WWE poo poo on a bad gimmick. Obviously it was a stupid gimmick, but if Colt wasn't the way he was on the indies, that Scotty Goldman thing probably doesn't happen.

Now he's got some bitter thing going with ROH because of a guy that doesn't even work there anymore and because his WWE experience makes him assume things about ROH now that they're owned by a major media company. Listening to him bullshit on AOW while Steen basically negated all of his Sinclair-related reasons made it pretty clear to me that the guy just likes to feel slighted.

I quite enjoy him when he's not talking about himself and I'm fairly indifferent about his work, I just think he sounds like someone who is having a rough time coming to grips with the fact that his expectations for himself in the industry don't line up with reality.

I don't hate Ryder or blame him for being somewhat bitter (assuming this isn't all just a weird work), but I've personally never found him entertaining in or out of the ring and I wouldn't miss him if he never showed up again.

Colt's a pretty good wrestler and a great comedy act who I enjoy watching. Do I think he sounds overly bitter at times? Sure. I don't really get wh he's so reluctant to give ROH another chance if one of his friends who went through the same exact poo poo says things are better now that Cornette's gone.

As coconono said he had the misfortune to be in developmental at it's absolute nadir under Johnny Ace, so even while they've made genuine improvements there under Hunter I can't blame him for being pissed at how he was hosed over. It's admittedly not the most entertaining topic to discuss on a podcast though.

We talked about this earlier, but yes casual anti-semitism in WWE is definitely part of the reason he wasn't given a chance.

I swear people look for any excuse to jump on the dude. We're talking about this now because he had the audacity to hype his video using the phrase "Wrestling's Last Real Heel" because people got legitimately violent at him for his act. And now he's being compared to Zack "being bitter at creative is my gimmick" Ryder because he talks about his WWE experience in less-than-positive light? Give me a loving break!

He was called a kike by somebody who was supposed to be a mentor to him. He was denied the chance to do what he had worked a decade plus to get to because creative had nothing for a guy who otherwise fits the profile of what they look for: Tall, technically gifted, willing to do jobs, more than willing to do comedy. I don't think Colt feels that he should be WWE champion in perpetuity; he just wanted a shot. They didn't really give him one.

Then, the company that he had previously always been able to count on fired him for an arbitrary, nebulous reason, despite the fact that he was part of the hottest feud the company had at the time.

But, hey, by all means, continue to compare him to a guy who's had a WWE main roster contract since 2007, had a successful Youtube show, was put over a multiple-time world champion for his only a singles belt in his hometown, was in a stable with the hottest bad guy the WWE has had in the past decade, and continues to make money off merch. Colt is doing okay, but it's because he works hard and decided to take responsibility for his own success.
