[Friend no. 2]

Only remember some of his time in WWF (I'm only a young'un), but he was great.

 

[Dave]

Any grown man who enjoys watching WWF or WCW or whatever the crap is called is a fucking idiot.

The best thing about this thread is that bald interviewer on 1.20!!

"but the beat goes on.." ;D

Very funny video.

 

[Bradley]

I'm with Dave. I don't get it, yet twice a fucking year WWE sell out the arena I work in. Mostly dad's with their kids but there are also real people there, really strange people.

 

[darkstarexodus]

Legend really, even if he may have been actually insane.

On a semi-related note, anyone catch The Voice (Michael Schivaello) v Hulk Hogan this week on HDNet. Fascinating 1-hour long interview.

Other Sports LTW?

Whose chain are you yanking, this thread should be in tv forum.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Fair point, but darts is hardly a sport & that's in here.

 

[LarryHagman]

One thing I never know about American wrestling is, do the fans know it's fake and like the entertainment, messing about and general slapstick, or do they still think it's somehow real?

 

[Rosco]

It's not fake

 

[LarryHagman]

See, that answer's just confused me.

 

[Bradley]

I was just bust'en chops byw.

 

[FoxForceFive]

Some people believe it's real:

Remember though that WWF paid huge chunks of audience members when it first started to behave the way they do, & now of course all the real audience do the same.

They carried on cheering once when the blue blazer's harness failed and he fell from the roof of the stadium into the ring. He died.

There's s book I read in my teens, the unknown wrestler, or the real wrestker, something smilar, where he explains how WWF got the fans to behave & that's how they did it during the first televised bouts to encourage things.

[OLD_Lewy]

so essentially it comes down to;
eating too many eggs
snorting too many eggs
shooting yourself in the face with an egg

 

[Holle]

Eggs are baaaaad.

 

[Rosco]

There's loads more than that DHSC, I saw a list last year and it's unbelieveable - the first 2 ommissions that spring to mind are Chris Benoit (suicide) and Eddie Guerrero (heart attack). I'm quite sure Crash Holly died recently too but not sure under what circumstances.
