People are pretty sure of similar figures given by Gene Simmons, Wilt Chamberlain, Jack Nicholson, Julio Iglesias, Lemmy, Castro, and Warren Beatty. Flair's not exactly one of the more unbelievable names to boast this count, in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if it was higher, and have an easier time believing his numbers than anyone who's given a similar figure aside from the Stilt and Castro. He's rich, travels all the time, spends lavishly, athletic, charismatic, and already known to be heroically unfaithful. He's not particularly handsome, but neither are half the guys on that list. Women aren't known for being wrestling fans, but neither are they known for being metal fans.

I have no doubts that all of those guys (and Flair, to keep it on topic) racked up large amounts of groupie-related bedpost notches over the years. Fame is a hell of an aphrodisiac, after all. Even Jim Cornette said that back in the wrestling heyday of the 1980s, he was getting laid left and right simply because he was on the TV. And he'd be the first to tell you he wasn't the type of guy women would normally throw themselves at.

Who is the "guy" who HBK refers to who supposedly challenged himself and Jannety and got them fired in their first WWF run?

Does Rock have an endorsement deal with Under Armour? Are those t shirts/vests/whatevers being manufactured by WWE with an added Under Armour logo stuck on?

Devil Child posted:Giving "primary credit" to Regal already acknowledges that there were other guys who helped DBD be great, while stressing that Regal was the central figure in DBD's career. It's not that HBK did absolutely nothing, although he didn't do much, it's that he's only credited along the same lines as Regal because he's a huge star, and it makes DBD sound cool without being too much of a truth-stretcher.

In the WWE Discussion thread with regard to Swags, someone posted that Meltzer has claimed that most wrestling fans skew liberal (perhaps as compared to other sports). Anyone have a citation for this and how he arrived at this conclusion? Not doubting it per se, but I'd like to know if he's done any sort of survey/polling. e: TomWaitsForNoMan posted:According to Meltzer wrestling fans skew further left than fans of most legit sports

It's because demographically wrestling viewership skews very low-income. It's one of the main reasons ad rates are low in wrestling.

I remember reading an article on micro-targeting for political campaigns in the leadup to last year's US election, and it contained several simple graphs rating fans of specific sports and various consumer products in the categories of partisan lean and level of political involvement. Pro wrestling fans were rated as leaning highly Democratic but also very politically uninterested. Golf vans, for example were rated the exact opposite.

Thanks for posting that chart before more people posted patently untrue things. It would be nice if someone posted the full length article. "Voter Turnout Index" doesn't really mean anything without context, and it would be nice to know exactly what the sample size was for each sport out of the 218,313 surveyed. Also, it would be nice to know if people could report multiple sports.

NASCAR - they may be trying to distance themselves from the stereotype but the sport still has a southern "good 'ol boy" image. Monster trucks - See pro wrestling, probably skews somewhat less Democratically due to having less minority fans. Grand Am - fan base probably more interested in European cars like the F1 fan base and more likely to live in an urban area. Motocross - Young rural white guys?

Terry Funk is the eccentric old Kung Fu Master of professional wrestling. No-one's quite sure if everything he says is profound on a level that the average human can't understand, or he really has just taken one too many skull-bumps.
