Its kind of fascinating to read all this about Vince McMahon who is apparently a total psycho and that does not surprise me in the least.

It's been really cool to read all this backstage behind the scenes poo poo of wrestling which I stopped watching 22 years ago. Would like to read about more crazy poo poo that happened, those are my favorite posts.

Vice put out a series called Dark Side of the Ring where one of the episodes covered that as part of the North Korea trip. You should watch it in supplement to any post explaining it.

I just read a news story on it that quotes the guy. That's loving insane lol.

I wouldn't mind knowing all the scummy poo poo that HHH apparently got up to. I'm just learning that apparently he's married to Stephanie McMahon. That's crazy. I thought that was a made up story, but no he's actually married to Stephanie McMahon. Like what the fuuuuuuuuck.

What the gently caress, can we get some back ground on what the gently caress happened here? Like why is he just covered in blood? Is that all his blood? How is he still conscious. I have so many questions.

Okay there are some answers here. Choose:

1) If you want a effort post about these matches and everyone involved.

2) If you want the inside baseball on why he's soaking in blood as a wrestling gimmick (and thing that generally happens in wrestling)

I was just wondering why he looks so bloody , sure that cannot all be from blading and some of it is fake blood.

New Jack stabbed another wrestler 14 times in the ring and got away with it because he convinced the other wrestler to drop the charges and use the stabbing to get heat and boost his career. the moment the charges were dropped New Jack packed his bags and left Florida and never returned

It boggles my mind a little bit that Goldberg is still a thing in 2022. Like dude has been involved with wrestling for more than 20 years. You would think they'd come up with something new or somebody new but no they still drag out Goldberg.

My impression was that Mark at worst engaged in the sort of locker-room politics that's common in your average sports team. Which is bad, but not on the "WTF! " level that pro-wrestling stories rise too.

edit:

like yeah, turning a part of a company into your own personal fiefdom is bad on principal, but when you put it next to The Clique or Hulk Hogan or The Plane Ride from Hell it just doesn't raise any hairs.

What's the plane ride from hell?

Cornwind Evil posted:

Short answer: a particularly bad plane ride in 2002 where numerous wrestlers were severely intoxicated or generally in foul moods, resulting in numerous incidents. The big one these days is that Ric Flair sexually harassed a/the flight attendants, which has resulted in him being erased once it became re-examined in the post MeToo era.

Long story? Well if I don't tell it someone else will.

I'd like to read more about it. My google isn't really getting anything.

Yeah, Triple H was supposed to win that match, but since he vouched for Michaels and Michaels was zonked out, he lost as punishment. The Streak wouldn't have been a thing if not for that.

Which should be my next effortpost: the Undertaker at WrestleMania or a bunch of goofy-rear end stories involving Sycho Sid? I swear, that dude was like the Forrest Gump of wrestling history mixed with a Will Ferrell character.

I wanna hear about the Sycho Sid , because I've never heard of him

If thats the one where he (Chucky) was talking poo poo and then said something like "watch my new movie" somewhere in there, I saw it on tv when it was live, or broadcast or whatever, and I can tell you that everyone there, my cousin, two of my brothers and maybe a couple other people pretty much instantly agreed that that was the worst thing we had ever seen.

there was the brief period where D-von Dudley was repackaged with a preacher gimmick and came out to condemn the audience for jackin' it too much

to which Ron Simmons had to come out and argue in front of a live crowd that actually it was cool and good to jack it all the drat time

it wasn't a great gimmick, but it did lead to an important debut

Batista looks so different in that video than what he does now.

What's the deal with Vince trying to bury people for this kind of stuff is he just a rear end in a top hat ( I'm assuming this the case) , although I wouldn't mind knowing more about this.
