There's also the story of Bret asking Hebner the day before to give him his word he wouldn't screw him lol

if true, he should have just fessed up he had no choice to do it. then at least his conscience it clear

 

[Chris]

But yeah he woulda been fired, tbf WCW woulda signed him right up and probably done a shitty angle about it too lmao

 

[Comrade Khan]

still makes it sound like working for wrestling at the time was like working for the mob

 

[Comrade Khan]

with a bunch of other lil mobs in it

 

[Comrade Khan]

so much ego and shady shit lol

 

[Chris]

That's too cool for 90s America politics

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

Wrestling was quite literally like the mafia until at least 2000.

 

[Chris]

Japan maybe tho

 

[Comrade Khan]

fair lol

 

[Chris]

I'd say it's more like small town high school cliques lmao

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

I mean you listen to stories from the 70s and 80s and it's wild.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

You should hear the stories from the Nashville wrestling war.

 

[Chris]

I imagine it was much worse in the early 1900s when people were betting on it and they were fixing the matches

 

[Chris]

Which instead of resulting in a fully corrupt sport or controversies, just resulted in "sports entertainment"

 

[Comrade Khan]

well i was totally wrong on gresham haha
