The Honky Tonk Man's response to that story was "...I can't see Ricky leaving," which is to date the funniest thing he's ever said.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Was there ever any explanation of that one WWE event where like half the card got pulled for Elevated Liver Enzymes? I remember Great Khali was one of them. It came to my mind because I tested positive for elevated liver enzymee and now need a liver ultrasound.

great american bash 2006

nothing has really been confirmed as to why it happened. i've seen it reported as legitimate, steroids, hep c scare, or false positives.

also, the undertaker fought big show in the punjabi prison...which made sense...

IIRC it was right after they introduced a stricter wellness policy, so they were testing for all kinds of stuff they wouldn't have detected before. A Hep scare might have been kayfabe to cover for a few guys pissing hot.

Unfortunately, Chuck Berry actually did sexually abuse women in weird ways. I'm 100% certain Elton John did not actually suck so many dicks that he had to get his stomach pumped.

Storyline-wise, he was fired after the WWF beat the Alliance at Survivor Series.

In reality, Jerry Lawler was returning to the company and I just think Vince was more comfortable with him on commentary.

First public mention of it that anyone can recall. Meltzer and others have later said it was already a rumor circulating within WWE for a little while. One thing that everyone always forgets that the story, as posted, was clearly false based on how it addressed Stephanie's age. And it was not a thing that I remember anyone in the thread even believing at the time. It only picked up steam because it was very early in the "Vince won't work with Savage" odyssey and it quickly became clear that he wasn't giving anyone a reason. How much of it had to do with it coming within 18 months or so of the "Stephanie confronts Vince about trafficking her sexually to business associates as a teenager" promo, I have no idea, but I suspect that it played a role to some degree. But by and large, it caught fire because of the complete lack of alternative explanations, to the point that a lot of people in the company believed it.

Years later there was that whole weird thing where Dave suggested Oliver Copp knew the whole story, only for Oliver to later admit he had no idea what happened. I've never been able to determine what was up with that.

I've never really believed it, myself, though I've long been intrigued by it. And I have my own theories about who was behind the "G. Gordon Liddy" account, if just because of some of the other posts in that thread, who in WWE was known to use aliases online, and who would have a motive to try to smear Stephanie in 2004.

Total fuckin' silence.
I have to imagine that the Vince and Savage fallout is probably something as simple as Vince feeling "betrayed" after Savage went to WCW. As for why he "forgave" Hogan for it but not Savage, Hogan is the bigger star and also Vince has always been a complete Hulkamaniac. He probably thought he was doing Savage a favour by demoting him to a commentary role.

But the Stephanie thing is definitely juicier... or maybe the week in which Vince said "I DO NOT WANT TO TALK ABOUT THAT MAN" or whatever was his one week a year where he decided he hated domestic abusers.

Chuck Berry was literally arrested for hooking up with a 14 year old and possessing child porn. There was a class action suit that he settled involving him installing cameras in women's bathrooms. If anyone has done a glass bottom boat it would be him.

I know someone who lived the rockstar life for a while and he privately told me about a glass situation that had the perfect mix of offhanded-ness and disgust that lent it credibility. People are into poo poo and who knows what can happen when drugs/alcohol are involved?

Hogan also informed Vince of ambition to do movies and poo poo beforehand, I think. Whereas Savage just kinda left, and took some sponsorship money with him.

I want to say that it was either during the Invasion (where she was feuding with Vince as the owner of ECW :cripes:) or during her feud with Vince in 2003. Hmm, I don't remember much about that time, let's check Wikip-

quote:

In the summer of 2003, Vince McMahon began to resent Stephanie's attempts to stop him from pursuing an affair with Sable.[53] In a controversial segment of SmackDown!, John Cena requested that Stephanie rip Sable's top off and that he be allowed to slap Stephanie's buttocks; she agreed to it and he slapped her buttocks, after which she went backstage, fought Sable, and ripped Sable's top off briefly exposing Sable's breasts on air. The feud culminated in the controversial first ever father-daughter "I Quit" match at No Mercy.[54][55] McMahon was accompanied by her mother, the CEO of WWE Linda McMahon, and Sable accompanied Vince in their match.[54] McMahon lost when Linda, at ringside threw in a towel on her behalf because Vince did not release a choke he had on her with a lead pipe.[54] As a result of losing the match, McMahon was forced to step down as SmackDown! General Manager. The match was made to write Stephanie out of storylines as she was marrying Paul "Triple H" Levesque that week.[56]
