Davros1 posted:Wasn't the story that JBL kept harassing Blackman to the point that has when he bothering him while they were at an airport, Blackman did cold-cocked JBL with a kick to the head, then calmly picked his luggage up from baggage claim and left? From Bob Holly's book: quote:At Kansas City airport, Steve and I were waiting around when Bradshaw came over. It was an early morning flight and John was still drunk from the night before. He started patting Steve’s rear end. Steve said, “John, I don’t play that poo poo, knock it off.” John patted him again. And again. Steve was getting brutally pissed. He told him, “John, next time you do that, I’m going to knock your loving teeth out.” So, of course, John did it again. Steve whipped around and backhanded Bradshaw, popping him with jabs in the face. (Sure, Bob. Put yourself over too.)

On top of that, I know he got into a fight with the Nasty Boys (which he lost), but I always assumed the Nasties were the instigators. Lemme see...

Were there any other ideas for Paul Wight’s name in WWF besides “Big Show”? I always thought it sounded loving stupid and I’d love to know what was rejected in favor of that.

Is this meatshoes memory?

You're not making it up, there are references to it on RSPW back in 1999, including a quote from the Ross Report: "Excalibur? Are you kidding me? How the hell did that get started?" There's also a thread about how there is a character select screen for Wrestlemania 2000 on a preview article by Jeff Gerstmann that shows a character named "Excalibur" that seems to have spurred/heightened these rumors, ignoring that the same surviving preview images on archive.org show created wrestlers like "The Rombler" and a rough approximation of rap legend E-40. The more prevalent rumor in the summer of 1999 was that Jericho was going to come in to revitalize a post-HHH Degeneration X, so the whole Ex/X-Calibur thing seemed to be a run-off rumor from that. I don't know that any of this was WWF's doing as much as wild speculation on scoops sites, but I have a hazy memory of there being at least one rumor from that spring/summer that was eventually revealed to actually being WWF planting fake 'scoops'. Unless the planting of fake scoops was itself a fake scoop. Edge & Christian fucked around with this message at 19:44 on May 8, 2021 |

I kinda hope the actual Excalibur and Jericho have had a chuckle about it.

I started training when I was 36 and it wound up not really being for me, but it was a ton of fun despite being like twice as old as everyone else there. Nobody cared about age if you were willing to put in the effort.

Sometimes I find myself thinking "what if I pursued something I am truly passionate about while I was in my 20s instead of working in a cubicle" and wonder what could have been. FWIW I'm down 30 lbs since last September through circuit training and eating properly so I know I can put in the effort to train.
