IF you ever read Flair's book he talked about how after training they would go to Burger King and eat 5 whoppers every day. That's how you get to 300 pounds quickly I guess.

Manny Suave posted:If Jeff Jarrett wants to become a country music star why does he wrestle instead of performing country music Because the country music backstage politics were holding him back, so he decided to become a big wrestling star so that Nashville could no longer keep him down.

Pay attention to the vignettes, man! Much like how Manson became a cult leader since the music industry rejected him. Someone should investigate into whether the Beach Boys spurned Bray at some point.

AkumaHokoru posted:Yes. pretty much right after the medusa thing. No, it was way before that. Madusa, Luger, Rude, and Jarrett all had contracts that had expired and didn't have to wait. Jake Roberts, for example, was released from his contract with WWE in 1992 (before the Monday night wars) and had to wait 90 days.

Flameingblack posted:WCW was always willing to eat the non-compete clauses because they had so much money and just wanted to make the impact. This was WCW putting him under a non compete. That's why he signed on to the WBF, the idea being he'd become a big star as the face of the WBF and then debut for the WWF a year later.

Flameingblack posted:WCW was always willing to eat the non-compete clauses because they had so much money and just wanted to make the impact. Luger had one from WCW, which is why he couldn't wrestle in the WWF. He was not under contract when he went back to WCW, so he didn't have a no-compete clause.

Smoking Crow posted:Sandman reminded me of the guys my dad used to hire in his appliance repair business, beer drinking, chain smoking, intimidating, possibly on parole I said this before and I'll say it again: Sandman is the same as Hacksaw Jim Duggan except with a cane instead of the 2x4 and beer instead of the flag. Sidenote Sandman's entrance at One Night Stand is the best wrestling entrance ever.

Jerusalem posted:That always slightly annoyed me because Jericho and Benoit did exactly the same joke back in like 2002 or so. I remember midway through that skit the crowd just died because it got so bad. I think it was close to a 20 minute segment at that. It also ended the raw with Vince and co. Being drenched in poo poo which was basically the average raw at that time.

Lots of straight-edge guys drink coffee, it's generally a philosophy about intoxicating drugs. And if you think he wasn't on prescribed painkillers when he literally fractured his skull, I dunno what to tell you.Yuriy posted:and? most straight edge people grow up and either stop making a big fuss about it or realize that you can have a drink without turning into punk's alcoholic dad or whatever started his teenage rage against the machine bullshit Being scared off something as a kid is one thing, making a conscious decision later in life to not do it as a result of critical thinking is what a lot of grown ups do. You can argue that Punk isn't grown up if you like, because of whatever personal vendetta you have against him - I assume he didn't sign your program that had John Cena on the cover of it at 5am at LaGuardia.
