From the Wikipedia page on Herb Abrams https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herb_Abrams Wikipedia posted:Before his death, while high on cocaine, Abrams was found naked and covered in a "vaseline" type substance, destroying furniture with a baseball bat in his New York office. He was in the company of prostitutes at the time. Not long afterwards, he died while in police custody, of a heart attack. He had cocaine stuck all over his body when he died. He was laid to rest in New York.

Probably a good 80% of wrestling autobiographies I've read involve violence against cats. Booker T's had a story about a friend of his throwing cats onto a busy highway from above, and then Booker tried to defend it with something like "That was just what you did for fun in those days."

shiksa posted:trent doesnt own a car he just rents them whenever he needs them. also he doesnt do his taxes and presumably didnt have healthcare until he signed with aew The car thing makes sense when you're in a business that has you travelling constantly. Moxley mentioned on the AEW podcast that when he was in WWE he was on the road for on average 6 days a week so he would just rent a car for a day or two when he was home. Makes sense tbh, if you can get a cheap enough rental. If I was on the road 25-26 days of the month and didn't already own outright a completely worthless car I probably wouldn't have one either. 22 Eargesplitten fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Mar 15, 2020 |

I’m pretty sure that incident led to him not being able to rent a car ever again or something, which is why he worked New Japan very heavily for the last few years (as they bus everyone to hotels and the arena) also his throwing himself at the ground in insane spots in those Jr. tag belt matches he and Rocky had with the Bucks was to try to break something so he could use Japanese healthcare to not go bankrupt getting an even longer term issue fixed as well Yeah, Greg’s pretty weird

Can't remember who told this story, but apparently Randy Orton thinks it's funny to yank on the steering wheel while someone else is driving, sending them into oncoming traffic.

There are a couple of people who seem like relatively normal but they might just stand out in a world full of all sorts of weirdos and strange people - and that's ignoring the criminals and scummy people that are apparently present to an extreme degree.

Professional wrestling ribbing sounds like a selection process to only have crazy weirdo pro wrestlers and weed out anyone with standards.

I liked the Lance debut because it's clear he was there just to mess Cody. He wasn't looking to do any heavy lifting. Just enough to get in his head, which Lance did.

BrigadierSensible posted:Everything Kota Ibushi does. Some Kota stories I remember off the top of my head. A lot of these come from the podcast with Kushida that Chris Charlton translated some of the weirder story He gets changed in hallways to not annoy people and once Michael Nakazawa got yelled at in a changing room for being messy, after Nakazawa left to take a phone call Kota pretended not to know him Kota has literally no hobbies and doesn't understand why people have them. He doesn't understand golf and fishing makes him angry. Kushi said that he enjoys reading and Ibushi said that he tried to get into reading but it annoyed him because someone wrote it to make him imagine things and now he doesn't trust books Of course he does have hobbies like shooting himself with fireworks for fun https://twitter.com/MonrovianPrince/status/1012206733966573569?s=19 And investigating typhoons https://twitter.com/ibushi_kota/status/1183021714822746112?s=19 Also he plans to live well into his 100s https://twitter.com/AHROOMEE/status/1230367184464957440?s=19 Burn Down Canberra fucked around with this message at 03:57 on Mar 17, 2020 |

Reminds me of the story told by, I think Paul Heyman?, about how the Steiners and Sting would gently caress with other wrestlers on highways. Like Rick would reach over and open the door to another car while driving. And Heyman prepared for this by locking the doors, so Steiners/Sting just threw trash at the car. Wrestlers on the road are a different breed. I assume the cocaine probably helped cause that.

Kota Ibushi regularly gets lost walking from his condo to his gym when he's had both for over a decade. Kota once got lost going from a US show to the hotel that was less than a block away and Kenny freaked out and demanded to know who was supposed to be watching Kota because he absolutely knew it would happen.

Just a year or so back Ibushi left his phone in his hotel room and wandered off without bothering to check which hotel he was in. He spent the night roaming the streets. This was in Japan. You know, the country he has lived in his entire life and knows the language of. The man is an idiot. A very handsome, talented idiot.

100% of Kota's brain capacity is allocated to wrestling, so everything else kinda has to get by with whatever scraps of processing power that happen to be available.
