I guess it's just like having a band jam, if you put someone up for a vertical suplex and they do something similar but not what you planned you just have to change it on the go or something.
This is a pretty good analogy actually. And when you really get down to it, almost every move ends in a back-bump or front-bump, so taking moves on the fly isn't as haphazard as it may seem.

Quick example is that move where it starts like a back suplex, but then the guy giving it kinda swings his free arm over and turns it into a Rock Bottom. It's the same exact bump as a back suplex, so I never bothered explaining the move when I did it in a training match.

And the counterpoint to this is when Jeff Hardy goes to give a guy a front suplex, and the man taking the move thinks it's a normal vertical suplex, so Hardy ends up spiking the poor bastard on the top of his head.

Smith was a massive drug addict by all accounts. He also went into rehab at about this time.

You're right, but I would love to see him just one more time drop that loving elbow off the top rope. I could then happily stop watching wrestling forever.

Both of them being out of their minds. Diana's attempted suicide happened when she grabbed Davey's bottle of pills, yelled something at him like "This is what you're doing to me!" or "You're killing me!" and downed the bottle. I think it's in her book. Allegedly, Davey was abusive too but the drug use was what killed the marriage.

He continued to use steroids and drugs after rehab. Towards the end it seemed he had cleaned up, except for steroids since they were accepted in the business anyway.

Yes. However, I recall reading about the suicide attempt and it's on the Hart and Soul DVD. Also why I used the word "allegedly." But the drugs use was undeniably a problem in Davey's life.

It seems that you can always assume that when a Hart is telling a story you should take it with a grain of salt anyway. They all have major problems with each other, especially Bret who some siblings (and Strikeforce commentator Mauro Ranallo who did commentary for Stampede in the 90s and dated Neidhart's other daughter) say acted better than everyone because of his money and fame. Whether or not that's true (Hart had an ego, but so does an major star) it's a sign of the infighting. Hell, my dad came from a family of only four kids and they weren't exactly the Brady Bunch. I can only imagine the drama with 12. It's honestly shocking that the only known Hart grandkid who's known to be hosed up is Teddy.

Martha sued Diana for libel, won (which is hard to do), and the publisher took the entire book off shelves (which is also hard to accomplish unless the book is a steaming pile) and donated what the book had made to an Owen Hart charity fund.

Meltzer's take is that some of the book is true, but so much is laughably false that the book just isn't worth reading.

My take is that on top of everything else it's horribly written.

The only way a thread such as that could work is if it works as the news thread does, and any non-news gets probated.

No, it is his hair that makes him look like a white guy with heavy tanning. There's a photo of him somewhere with a different hairstyle and it completely changes the way he looks.
