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

 

[Canadian Dragon]

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

 

[Canadian Dragon]

with a bunch of other lil mobs in it

 

[Canadian Dragon]

so much ego and shady shit lol

 

[Chris]

That's too cool for 90s America politics

 

[Bobby Barrows]

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

 

[Chris]

Japan maybe tho

 

[Canadian Dragon]

fair lol

 

[Chris]

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

 

[Bobby Barrows]

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

 

[Bobby Barrows]

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"

 

[Canadian Dragon]

well i was totally wrong on gresham haha
