Lex Luger had someone negotiating contracts for him in JCP. Can't remember if it was just a lawyer or an actual agent. Either way, it was considered quite novel at the time. Several people had agents by the late 1990s. IIRC, Bloom had both Flair and Bischoff as clients at the time of the lawsuit in 1998.

Either way, it was considered quite novel at the time. that's interesting, i'm shocked agents haven't been more involved. WWE contracts are big enough that there should be good money in negotiating deals. the fact that agents don't seem to be involved seems like further proof that the contracts they are offering are really undervalued

Goldberg told a story in some shoot interview about when he first left the NFL for wrestling, he went for an interview with the WWF. And in the waiting room, he told the secretary that his agent (who he had from his football career) was running late and she was like "oh that's fine, Vince Mcmahon really doesn't like meeting with agents anyway". And right there Goldberg was like, well I guess I'm signing with WCW.

Vince signs Goldberg in 2001 but it's just to say WHO'S NEXT to people as they enter the casino.

When did certain foreign objects become regular expected weapons? Who was the first to use each? Folding chairs, tables, kendo sticks, etc. What are some famous named/wrestler specific weapons outside of WWE and AEW? Like Foleys barbed wire bat, Trips sledgehammer, Jerichos bat, MJFs ring, etc. Any crazy weapons big promotions have used? Not backyard wrestlers wrapping barbwire around a roman candle or balloons full of gasoline. The more "safe" professional weapons that you would see on TV. Sorry for 9 questions about weapons all at once.

Probably flaming tables in WWE and some of the more ill-advised glass stunts? There have been lots of trademark foreign objects and the like. Ted DiBiase had his "loaded" black handball glove, Don Carson had his "loaded" elbow-length black glove that he called "Peanut Butter" for some reasson, Iceman Parsons had his Rudy Poot Stick, various Texans had bullwhips with feminine names, The Grappler and many others had "loaded" boots (sometimes claiming it was an orthopedic boot), etc.

Blankspot posted:What are some famous named/wrestler specific weapons outside of WWE and AEW? There are plenty but what came to mind first is the now-retired Takashi Iizuka who had this big metal claw thing called the Iron Finger. When he retired last year, fellow Suzuki-Gun member Taichi got hold of it and tends to carry it around in a pouch (I think not recently, though). Iizuka’s gimmick in his last years was of a crazed maniac only barely controlled by Suzuki-Gun and for a while it looked like a part of Iizuka’s spirit remained in the Iron Finger and was calling to and attempting to possess Taichi. Yes, this was in NJPW, a Very Serious Promotion. Taichi incidentally also has his own signature weapon, the mic and mic stand he uses in his entrance to serenade himself to the ring. a cyborg mug fucked around with this message at 07:16 on Nov 16, 2020 |

Someone who keeps up with the full spectrum of Japanese news, translations, etc. might be able to answer this: Did Akira Hokuto ever formally announce that her breast cancer was in remission? It seems like she's doing fine now, but if she's formally in remission, then that fact never got picked up in English-language wrestling media as far as I can tell. Am I missing something? Or did she announce it, only for no English speakers to pick it up for some reason?
