Thinking about career killer gimmicks, has there ever been someone who was booked to retire a guy who has never come back?

I've read this like 10 times and I'm still not sure what you're asking.

Ok let me clarify. I'm just wondering is anyone with this particular gimmick has actually retired another wrestler be it from injury or booking.

Yeah, uh, apartment wrestling is a heck of a rabbit hole I've never heard of.

Once, very early on during my wrestling days I was contacted by a guy on AIM who wanted to wrestle me in a hotel room cleared of furniture in only a pair of tighty whiteys. I politely declined but he was very insistent. I told the promoter about it and he asked around and the advise I got was "Don't go, unless you really need the cash and are good at grappling"

I guess the guy had, in the past trapped dudes in hotel room and would stretch the poo poo out them.

its apartment wrestling adjacent.

I think it was AJPW or NJPW that had Tiger Mask jump off the dome into some crash pads. Like 15 seconds of free fall. It was nuts.

Wait what? Like the Shane McMahon bump off the side of the Tron but crazier?

If I could go back in time I'd go to a wrestling school right after graduating high school

Thats what I did!

Grandma gave me $1000 dollars when i graduated and I gave that to carnies in $100 increments for like 9 weeks.

I was 18, weighed like 110 pounds and a was a lithe hairless wonder. I could run circles around all the big guys but when it came to taking bumps and running ropes I had no extra padding and got turned into a human bruise.

I remember seeing some video of a guy who didn't know anything about wrestling going behind the scenes at the Power Plant. He was talking to Parker about wrestling then started asking questions about his storylines work and how they coordinate in the ring or whatever, and Parker just has a deer in headlights look. Felt like no one told him what the interview was about and he was struggling to find a way to answer without breaking kayfabe.

Or maybe he just can't interview.

I know a wrestler who was the worst at washing gear, so they ended up getting popular enough that they constantly had new gear made and would change when it started to smell


Like that rapper who would buy underwear to wear once

I never ever washed my gear once. Granted I did wrestle in Dickies shorts and a cut up orange shirt. You could feel the mood in the room change when I brought out my knee and elbow pads, they stunk the worst.

Lets see, Gypsy Joe, Mass Transit, and Vic Grimes. Who is number 4?

"I wanna give a special shout to my man OJ Simpson is all time"

Would New Jack attempt to mirder Frog? I think they would be chill.

In Beyond The Mat he says he has 4 justifiable homicides from when he was a bounty hunter. I really wish he would have gotten some movie roles.
