Dark Side of the Ring

[Jacob Fox]

Doesn't come up on mine bud. Use the EC at the end of mine and it works fine. Just have to catch it later on .

Well I look forward to hearing what you think about it. It was a good episode

 

[Tommy Shelby]

Yeah because Dark Side of the Ring just went off a few minutes ago and they are showing the Shaq Kobie thing now. But I would assume they will have the replay up soon.

Yeah I'll just catch it later on. Thanks for letting me know about the replays .

Been watching some of the Vader moments mentioned in the show. I see what is happening in a different light.

Also, I knew Shawn Michaels was a prick, but it seems every time you turn around, you see something that makes him worse. That miscue and HBK's suqsequent tantrum and kicking Vader in the head... Hell if I was Vader, I would have been like "Okay, fuck this job." and beat the shit out of him.

HBK is easily the rudest wrestler I have ever met and although he is one of the best wrestlers of all time, he is also one of the worst people in the business.. even after his supposed "born again" moment.

BTW I read his book. I became born again when I had a religious experience of a really difficult night where something happened profoundly and I came to a realization. HBK became a Christian because he wanted to date a Nitro girl.

What a pathetic human being0

Yeah that infamous Summerslam 96 moment cost Vader the World title. He was going to go over Shawn at Survivor Series instead of Sid and run with it til Rumble

90s Shawn was an ass

Yeah I'm a big time HBK fan myself and hearing these things even though I've heard it a dozen of times still makes me angry to know he had that much Cache in WWE to this degree. Hansen saying he considered Vader an equal to him even when he was a younger got to me.

I am a HUGE fan of him as a wrestler. It's just as a person that I don't like him.

I went to a book signing for his book. There was a line out the store and all around the block. He showed up 45 minutes late, told people he would not personalize the book. Then he cut the line after half an hour. Over 200 people were in line for HOURS and didn't get their books signed.

I also told him, God Bless You. His response: Thank you.

WTF. I don't get a you too or a God Bless you back.

But as a wrestler... few come close to him. I love watching him work

Man if I was one of those people who didn't get their Book signed I'm snapping hard in that situation

I was so disgusted I gave my book to the first person who was cut off

Shit I commented on the first post without seeing this one lol my bad .

lol well I guess I will never know. Even if I had kept it, I would not have read it. I have read a LOT of wrestling biographies but there was no way I could do it after his behavior that day.

Oh, and I am not claiming he is like that all the time. I mean I only met him the one time. But the one time I met him was the only personal impression I have of him and I will always see him that way.

However, I did just watch the Summerslam 2005 match with Hogan and it was awesome how he oversold Hogan's offense and made it look ridiculous. I may hate HBK but I cheered for him over Hogan

The best Wrestling one I've read is Moxley one. Comes across as a real down to earth guy and even has a section dedicated to making sandwiches, which was funny . Liked Becky lynch one also. Match v Hogan was good with the over selling by Shawn. He seems to have mellowed since retiring but who knows . Guess it's right when people say don't meet your heroes as you'll be disappointed.

Liked the Show this week. Loved the Big Van Vader gimmick In Japan. The mask was cool as hell. Didn't know that Vader was fought off Stan Hansen and Bruiser Brody which was cool to know. Know wonder he hit the way he did then as the two guys were notorious for being stiff in the ring. Cool episode this week.

I havent read Moxley's . I didnt even know he had one. Maybe I will check it out.

It is hard to tell which one I thought was best. I read Ric Flair's in one day because at the time, he was my idol. But this was like over 20 years ago. It was before we knew really what kind of person he was.

Bobby Heenan's books were REALLY good. Also, Heenan was the opposite of HBK. At his book signing, and he had as many people as HBK, Bobby stayed and signed every single book. He talked to everyone politely and personalized every single book. I told him it was a honor to meet him and he replied, "Oh it's not. It's an honor to meet you."

I don't really hate HBK, I guess. If I did, I would hate his matches. That day could have been a bad day. BUT I am no HBK, but I spend time with all of my YouTube fans. I talk to to them, answer all of their comments. And maybe I do this because of meeting HBK I dunno. But if he has mellowed out, that is good.
