This is sad

I didn’t like the guy at all and wasn’t a fan, still surprised he let death go over on him. I’ll probably feel the same way about Vince when that time comes

RIP

Damn. He truly revolutionized the entire industry there is no question. Loved him as a kid, hated him when I discovered how poisonous he was behind the scenes. I still blame him for the rise and ultimate demise of WCW.

I do like that Hulk's final wrestling appearance was getting the living #### booed out of him. A fitting end.

The man lied so much about so many things that no one believed him when he said he was dying.

Like many in wrestling he will leave a checkered legacy for people to look at. Probably the single biggest draw of all time and most important driver of wrestling popularity at the time wrestling was most popular, pushing it beyond "territory" popularity and making it an international entertainment behemoth. He made others rich just by being on the card. On the flip side, he was a racist ####head who was a corporate stooge that would always put his self-interest above all.

I don't think he will be missed, but his contribution to wrestling will never be deniable.

Here's why you never use the Monkey's Paw:

Wrong Huxtible.
Wrong Orange Skinned Racist.

I don't think there's such thing as "wrong" orange skinned racist. They're all the right one.

No doubt it was a heart attack that took out Hulk. A true icon of the industry but a lot of bad stories about him as well. Surprised me made it to 70+ with all the Steriods, and rock star lifestyle those guys lived.

WWE Unreal is pretty good.

It's a shame they didn't actually use the idea for Chelsea Green to win the Rumble, because that would have been a perfect moment.

It's also dissapointing that they executed Elimination Chamber so well, but then dropped the ball in the actual road to Mania in the end.

I almost found myself feeling sorry for Chelsea at certain times. you could really see how hurt she was that she wasn't booked at home.


And I found Charlotte a little more likeable after watching that episode.

Wow, I met him a couple of times, he worked at an auto shop next to my Dad's store, and it surprised me, here was a guy on TV every week and he had to work as a mechanic. Super Nice guy, but he was really hard to understand.


In the ring he was a really good fundamental worker. And he became a really effective heel without changing his style.


RIP Champagne.

Yeah seems like they could have put her on the heel team in the war games match pretty easily if they wanted to.

In terms of Charlotte her behind the scenes personality seems a lot more down to earth than her on screen personality, I think there are still some things where she doesn't seem genuine though, but made her a little more likeable.

Keeping her out of the main event scene for a bit and not always being in the title hunt will be what helps her rehab her image a bit more too - as generally the "LOL Charlotte wins" booking was what made most people get annoyed with her.
