Not sure, but I think Hart has health problems. Also, I guess I'm dumb as a brick, but what does GGW stand for?
Didn't see RAW, and I'm not that "hip," but what does that really have to do with Test and his testicles?
This is sad to hear....and my condolences go out to his family. http://www.heraldtribune.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?Date=20030210&Category=APN&ArtNo=302100967&Ref=AR Professional wrestler Curt Hennig found dead in Brandon hotel Professional wrestler Curt "Mr. Perfect" Hennig was found dead in a hotel room Monday. Officials said foul play wasn't suspected. Hennig, 44, of Champlin, Minn., was scheduled to appear at the Florida State Fair in Tampa on Monday night. A housekeeper at the Homestead Suites Hotel in Brandon found Hennig in a room about 1:30 p.m, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office. Hennig was not breathing and was pronounced dead at the scene. His body has been turned over to the Medical Examiner's Office, and the sheriff's office is conducting a death investigation. Hennig, the son Minneapolis wrestler Larry "The Axe" Hennig, has wrestled professionally for more than 30 years, according to an online biography. He worked for the World Wrestling Federation and most recently wrestled for Jimmy Hart All-Star Wrestling.
As a wrestling fan, I hate to hear this...I'm 30 now and not into it like I once was but I nonetheless enjoy wrestling still and probably have more respect for these performers now that I understand the non-glamourous reality more. I hate to hear this and prayers to those close...
Thanks for the scoop Clockwork. Which club? So I guess bisexual HLA was not enough to save Bischoff's job. That is, until he was rehired. Will he be fired at NoWayOut after Austin initiates him into Vince's "getyourasskicked club?" Paving the way for Shane to be the new GM?
It was at Toc, I believe after the house show. This was before they started using their kissing on TV, I think.
OK my thoughts: 1) Still depressed about Mr. Perfect. He's involved with several of my fondest wrestling memories (the 2002 Rumble with him swatting out his gum while Austin and HHH are trying to throw him out is a classic) and I'll will miss him greatly. 2) Test and Stacy are an item off camera. If they have kids, Yao might have someone to match up against some day. 3)I knew Shane McMahon wasn't going to take over because he got enough on his plate with the business end. I didn't want them to go with a cop out, but I guess they kind of painted themselves into a corner. Still glad to see Eric on my TV though, I like him (as a character).
OK here's some interesting (in a what the hell is vince going to do sorta way). The WWE has signed Zachary Gowen to a contract. Mr. Gowen wrestled in Jeff Jarrett's National Wrestling Alliance: Total Nonstop Action (NWA: TNA) under the name Tenacious Z. The REALLY strange part is that he has one leg. I've never seen him except for a clip of a moonsault he does off the apron to the floor (which I have should anyone want to check it out) but from what I've heard he actually moves around well (slightly slower than the cruisers) and his moves are very well executed. I'm just scared the young man is going to be turned into a sideshow. We'll see I suppose.
The late Kerry Von Erick wrestled in the WWF with a prosthesis after his foot was amputated from a motorcycle accident in the 80s. Amazingly, he kept this a secret from the WWF.
True...but the point I'm making is that since the downturn in business, WWE is looking for reasons to release guys. They could hold that against him. When business is good, they'll hire as much talent as possible.
I did know about Kerry, but hadn't heard about Raven's little....shortcoming. This guy has NO leg. At all. Well that's not totally true since he does have about what looks to be maybe 6-8 inches of his thigh. He also does not use a prosthesis. He just goes out ther, hops around (no I don't mean to offend anyone, he does hop around the ring) and do his stuff. Pretty well too from what I've heard. In other news, let's rejoice in the engagement of HHH and Stephanie McMahon! No, not only will HHH be able to do anything he wants whenever he wants, he may very well control the company once Vince retires or dies (something tells me Vince doesn't plan on giving up control on any terms but his own). Let's pray Shane gets to run the company while Steph gets to do...whatever she wants as long as it doesn't end up on my TV screen.
