This sort of chat should really go in the carnies thread, I think. And her senate campaigns are fair game.

In the crazy world of the McMahons lindas always seemed the normal, grounded one. Although apparently she was late/didn't pay what was promised to people who helped her campaigns.

Just another reason why HBK is a contender for the greatest of all time.

That's not unusual for politicians, sadly. Mitt Romney canceled the credit cards issued to his campaign staff before election night was even over, leaving a lot of them stranded without cash to get home after sitting through the depressing experience of realizing their guy hadn't won.

Speaking of HBK and drugs, when did WWF stop drug testing in the 90s? I remember they had strict testing after the steroid scandal that led to Warrior and British Bulldog leaving, and they started up again with the Wellness Program after Benoit.

Besides Sting, who would be the most notable US or Canadian wrestler of the last 30 years who has never worked for the WWE?

A lot of guys you might be thinking of have technically wrestled one or two matches for the WWF/E. Nick Bockwinkel and Jushin Liger, for instance, both appeared in a battle royal once, and even Verne Gagne has made special apperances. Stan Hansen and Bruiser Brody wrestled for the WWWF. Magnum TA is one example. An easy answer is "lots of Japanese guys," particularly Mutoh and almost every prominent joshi.

If you don't count the WWE Hall of Fame the best answer is probably Abdullah.

Unless you mean the singles match he had at the Wrestling Summit, which was basically an All Japan show with WWF involvement & an outsider or two.

OK so basically the two Linda senate campaigns are portals into three aspects of the McMahons: Their victim complex. Hence Stand Up For WWE. Their disgusting disregard for workers' rights. Lance Cade mainly only being remarkable among wrestler deaths for being the one that happened during one of the campaigns, followed by the campaign being unable to craft any response to it, really. Their sense of entitlement. The "t-shirts at polling stations" mini-fiasco, using the WWE as a wing of the campaign, and doing a totally childish campaign-related segment on WWE TV. This is really only the water's edge of how terrible WWE is, though.

I've been watching some 1997 PPVs lately, and I have to ask, is there some reason WWE seems to have completely forgotten Ken Shamrock ever existed? They never promote any of his matches on their YouTube channel, never bring him up on commentary or anything, and despite being in ostensibly pretty great shape (by wrestler standards,) he's never showed up on a nostalgia show or as a surprise Rumble entrant or anything. Did he burn his bridge with WWE or quietly go crazy or something?

He just dropped out of wrestling, and IIRC doesn't like WWE using his likeness without specifically asking him, which is why he was in WWE13. Which is a shame, because I loving loved Shamrock. And his screaming.
