Yea i'd say the best time was from early 90's - 97 when he was crow sting was his best chance at going to WWF and being treated like a big deal. He sees that jericho and Booker were treated well enough.

Booker was specifically the guy Sting saw them mistreat and was why he decided not to come aboard.

Yea I know that, but as of now I feel they both turned out better than I thought they would. Despite Booker's commentary (I love it).

You would have to be living with blinders on to work in the same company with Kevin Nash and Scott Hall and then abloobloo about people getting mistreated in the WWF.

To be fair, if he went to the WWF during the invasion he probably would have been treated like a joke, or at least secondary to the real (read: WWF) stars.

Dr Death was with AJPW when it was the "best promotion in the world." Johny Ace had five star matches in this company during this period. I'm pretty sure that people look back on it quite fondly. He's the biggest gaijin (aside from Johnny Ace, lol) that isn't in. He's the odd man out I guess.

warbrides posted:Is Brock Lesnar's book worth reading? He paints himself as a simple man who likes simple things like working on his farm but also a man who just wants to do whatever he can to earn as much money as possible as fast as he can because he likes having a shitload of money and being rich as gently caress. Most of the stuff you'd be interested in is completely glossed over with the excuse "And I don't remember what happened at X because I was out of my mind on all the painkillers I had to take to keep myself from curling up and dying during my WWE career". Seriously, every single time it gets to him doing something major in the WWE it's this excuse, so there aren't any interesting details. The latter half of the book is about his MMA career and it's pretty much "I like it because I get to smash guys faces in for real and get paid, this is awesome I am the baddest man on the planet" with a chapter about how he nearly died of colonitis. He takes the time to proclaim Canada's healthcare system as being third world and almost killing him, and telling how he had to cross the border in agony to get to a Real American Hospital to save his own life. There, I just saved you reading the entire thing. History Comes Inside! fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Oct 12, 2011 |

Whats the weirdest (moderately true) thing you've heard about Vince McMahon? I'd love to hear some responses as I find his life so unusual and weird its just fascinating. I remember hearing something about how the floors of the WWE HQ would stink like tuna for days because Vince would go on tuna binges and work out like crazy. Also remember reading in I think ring of hell, that he would do tons and tons of coke in the 80's and brag about not being able to become addicted.

In Bret Hart's book McMahon spends a bunch of time drunk and high as gently caress, including one night in a hotel room stripping down and wrestling with all the guys. There's one story in there where they're all drunk in a bar somewhere, and somehow Bret and Jim Neidhart get dared into performing their tag team finisher on him when someone else makes out they're going to do theirs and wusses out in the last minute. This leads to Bret clotheslining McMahon and bouncing his head off the floor, and the guy is so drunk he doesn't give a gently caress.

Yeah, I should have quoted the hotel scene. It was before Vince and co. decided to piss in Flair's bed. Someone goes rough on Vince and Vince says something like, "I'll remember that." It might have been Paul Roma haha.

On a related tangent, didn't Mr. Perfect get fired because he was ragging on Brock pretty hard - Brock didn't want to deal with any of that poo poo and asked Heyman what to do, Heyman said,"Nip it in the bud now or they will ALWAYS gently caress with you!" and the next thing you know, Taz is looking up from his in-flight magazine to say,"Welp, here come the pain!"

By contrast, the best Vince McMahon story was him beating up Dracula to stop his son from being afraid. The craziest Vince McMahon story is that the man exists, and through it all managed to bring wrestling into the mainstream, decimate any competition that dared stand in front of him, and even became one of the best heels of his era, despite the fact that he couldn't wrestle worth a poo poo.

Yea I don't care how drunk/coked out I get, if I'm ever in a position to ask Brock Lesnar if he wants to wrestle, all the dude needs to do is stand up to remind me he's what happens when Aries fucks a Sherman Tank, and I'll be going 'nope, nevermind, sorry to bug you'. Vince is legitimately insane. Like, I know it's a big 'hur hur Vince is nuts right' joke but I mean this totally seriously, this man has had his brain ruined on hillbilly moonshine and piles of assorted drugs for so long I'm pretty positive if he didn't have millions of dollars, he'd be the dude on the street corner yelling how he needs your quarters to pay the demon cats for safety.

I thought that was Gerald Brisco, not Johnny Ace. Either way, gross. Vince is a fascinating collection of pathologies, but his fighting spiritu is pretty much used up now, hence him no longer being able to distinguish things that make him laugh v. things that make money. He's more frustrating than anything else these days.

Was there ever a video or audio recording of the Playboy interview? Some of the stuff he says just comes off so offhandedly, like "it's unfortunate he died before I could kill him" and all the abuse stuff that he seems to now be okay with? Can you imagine what sexual weirdness Linda's had to put up with for all these years?
