Liv is on borrowed time in WWE anyway. They root out families: They fired everyone connected to Windham. Father, brother, his friends he worked with, so many people gone. Liv is dating Taylor, I was really surprised she survived these cuts but maybe she's below notice for now.

Also why can't Danhausen get driven into Canada once the border opens? Are injured people not allowed to cross?

I would assume the aftercare plan and needing to be seen by the same physicians?

Liv can't leave until her feud with Carmella over who the hottest woman in the WWE is gets settled. :v:

Considering how horribly his career ended it's crazy how well adjusted he is. Double that after the stroke.

He probably can, but he often stays with his parents while he’s touring, so he doesn’t have to go back and forth across the border. They probably also have more free time to help him out than his wife does. I don’t know.

Bret's book is completely insane and makes him look like an rear end in a top hat, but I think writing it helped him overcome a lot of bitterness that would have eaten him alive otherwise.

Especially anybody dealing with psych issues (so, everybody), or in denial about having psych issues and putting off getting help for them (so, far too many of us).

MONEY FALLS...

...FROM THE SKY...

...WHENEVER HE POSTS!

quote:

I was dead broke, overweight, depressed, and wrestling in front of eight people in a bingo hall. I remember there was this place we always used to do shows in Palo Alto, Pennsylvania. Me and a buddy used to drive out there, wrestle, hopefully get paid, and then drive back. You’d spend your whole check on gas and a meal afterward. So we get up there to do the show, and we’re backstage getting ready, and we could all tell it was kind of quiet. Lace up the boots, go through the curtain, look out into the crowd….

Eight people.

I remember seeing a clip of their entrance from this show on Youtube about a decade ago, it's not there anymore. Him & Blackjack Marciano were the Wild Cards in Chikara, they come out of the little doorway that was the entrance, Blackjack bounces out first & throws his hands up looking for SOME kind of reaction & one guy just yells "Yo, Blackjack SUCKS!!" and you've never seen a more depressed looking wrestler in your life. Then Eddie comes out all "YEEAH!!! Everybody's fired up tonight!" while you knew he'd rather be anywhere else. All the while their Steely Dan theme music that didn't fit them at all was playing. One of the more depressing entrances I've ever seen. For Eddie to come from waaaaaay down there to where he is now is remarkable.

Smile. Win. Yay!

I liked Eddie in Chikara, he had a really good match with Claudio Castagnoli in 2009 and was immediately proven right all along regarding how shifty Claudio was.

He also did a really good promo for Chikara's first PPV in 2011 in the leadup to him winning their championship.

This is the extent of my Eddie Kingston knowledge, outside of having some vague recollection of him being in the ROH vs CZW Cage of Death without remembering anything else about that match

I like how Eddie's story and success comes off as the first Rocky translated into the inner workings of wrestling.

Every time I hear that piece of trash Enzo Amore call himself the realest guy in the room, I just think "No, that would be Eddie Kingston ".
