One of the few undeniably good things Vince ever did or will do in his capacity as a wrestling promoter was taking care of Droz and his family for life after that accident, getting Droz an office job doing something I don't remember, and continued to cover medical insurance and Droz's medical bills.

It fuckin sucks that Terry Funk never got the mainstream recognition he deserved just because he didn't work in WWF/WWE much. Hate to see the Funkster go

Edward Mass posted:What is it with despots and thinking wrestling is real? If you're the kind of person who is able to bootstrap a cult of personality into existence as an authoritarian despot then pro wrestling would look and feel very familiar to you, I imagine. Dictators and their public facing strongman personas aren't that different from a wrestler heeling it up. Having a captive audience cheering your name to deliver promos to is what propelled Trump to the presidency in 2016 (simplified) and that dumb mfer called Titan Towers to ask about vince after his limo blew up in storyline HonorableTB fucked around with this message at 19:34 on Sep 7, 2023 |

CombineThresher posted:Wrestling seems to produce a lot of guys like Ole who had decades of success and never appreciated or enjoyed a second of it. probably because they were physically beaten and sometimes tortured during training and it left them bitter and cynical, confusing those for love of the sport (though unless you're training under bill demott i've heard it's supposed to have gotten better? but "better" is still relative)

Virgil had dementia from concussions and CTE, and he was the butt of a lot of jokes he didn't need to be on. I can definitely see how he would end up jaded and bitter
