I mean Piper also said a bunch of racist poo poo so there was probably a lot of personal heat exacerbating things.

natetimm posted:He actually kind of fell off the radar during parts of it. Part of the problem of that era is that the main event revolved around Hogan so much and since they kept feeding him guys that there wasn't really an established #2. You had Hogan and whoever he was feuding with, and then any combination of mid-lower card guys involved in various feuds of various lengths on the undercard. Warrior eventually became the #2 guy built up for the match in Toronto but he managed to make himself such an annoyance that he didn't really stay up there very long. In other words, exactly the same dynamic as the last 8 or 9 years.

Going through the mid 90s WWE pay per views, I've started to notice some people who are in a lot of different crowds. Including one man who I believe is referred to as Faith No More guy. Black, long hair and black glasses and a black leather jacket. I've seen him at a lot of ECW events and always thought he was part of that crew. Anyone know the story behind this guy?

But everyone knows the best recurring fan is Vladimir the Super Fan

Another person I noticed was a guy who always wears a bright pink shirt. I saw him first at the Undertaker HBK match at 25 I think, and I keep spotting him as I go further back through the archives. He keeps getting skinnier and gets more hair.

How the gently caress did the Harris brothers ever get work with one of them having an SS tattoo? I'm watching ECW from 94 against Public Enemy and I saw it on his bicep. I read about it but I guess I had to see it to believe it. Did he get it quickly removed when he realized that no one would ever hire him if even Paul E. refused to work with them?

I think they got them covered up but uhhhh one of them got in trouble for wearing an SS t-shirt in TNA years later. And I read on some web forum that one of them has half of a nipple thanks to plastic surgery.

They got their jobs in TNA because they were friends with Jarrett. I'm not sure if that's how they got their WCW jobs to, but I imagine so.

It kind of looks like her cheeks were done too, though it could be makeup/lighting. Holy poo poo though, I take it back, they sure did make her look more like Sable.

Heyman would actually be one of the people least likely to work with them because of that, as he's not only Jewish but the son of a Holocaust surivior.

I would assume the Harris Brothers getting so many opportunities in WWF, WCW, ECW, and TNA just goes to highlight the ignorance and disregard in wrestling. Even with Heyman's obvious reasons to hate them it just seems like the nature of this business is to keep your head down and don't raise a stink about what assholes people are. Whether someone beats his wife or preys on young women or abuses rookies in the shower or are literal Nazis. It only seems to become an issue in wrestling when someone starts to flaunt it or does something stupid like that thing where a Harris showed off a SS shirt. And even then it probably comes down to whether it affects business to cut you.

iirc Paul fired the poo poo out of the Harrises as soon as they said poo poo about a nazi gimmick. I would imagine that they got hired by other people after that because Paul never said anything about why he fired them and nobody ever bothered to call him up and ask him. Since I doubt anybody in WCW or WWF was in the habit of talking to Heyman for any reason, outside of the periods WWF was working with him.

Davros1 posted:Seriously, this has been the WWE's M.O. since the beginning. Complaining about it now would be like complaining about the sun rising in the morning. I've just now really understood that it was the case with the Attitude Era- shades of grey aside, Austin really was their #1 hero guy (see the RAW episode just recently up on the Network where he saves Stephanie from the Undertaker.) It's just that a bunch of other people were over at the same time, which is the real rarity. (And Austin had time off for injury so they had to push other people as well.) I'd love to read a year by year history of the WWF/E done similarly to Death of WCW. So many things came together partly as a result of them just being desperate to avoid bankruptcy.

Yeah, he got suspended for being hosed up, then came back, won the IC title, got suspended again like two weeks later for being hosed up. That was it for his ever being pushed.

HBK was a coked up addict, but at least he was vaguely functioning. Like, he was a primadonna, but he could go out and do his job with some degree of competency. There's an early episode of RAW where Janetty shows up and just looks completely loving out of it. Ain't nothing but a hamster wheel and cobwebs behind them eyes.

He definitely used to be hooked on pain pills going from his book. "Pills and vodka" is mentioned on nearly every page.
