All-Purpose News Thread Part II

isn't AEW paying him?

They cut ties with him a while back...

Supposedly Vince tried to buy the documentary back from Netflix before it got released lol.

I expect its going to be a lot of old hat for wrestling fans. Stuff people know with little new information. So it will be disappointing.

But for non-wrestling fans it will be a lot of "wtf?" moments since they aren't aware of any of Vince's many many scandles.

Viewer: "Ehh this is kinda boring, I might stop watching."

Vince: "So anyways, I had this idea where I'd be the father of Stephanie's baby. Such good shit!"

I guess this just goes along with the older generations of athletes not believing that brain injuries are serious, hard to believe that Austin wrestled as long as he did and only had one concussion

'Stone Cold' Steve Austin Admits Not Believing in CTE

Steve Austin has shared a controversial view on CTE, a serious brain disease linked to concussions and repeated head injuries, often leading to dementia.

Apparently there is A LOT of Dave in this

 

[sabremike]

Dave's source for this is Zane Bresloff, and given the fact he was the guy who promoted it (and internal records Dave was given access to back it up) I'd say that's pretty conclusive proof.

Tweet wont show... Somebody help?

thought we all knew 93,000 was a worked number?

It was actually 125,000 and Andre had a big breakfast so he was close to 800 lbs when Hogan slammed him

That big breakfast being 40K of that attendance.

That was the Super Dome, Brother!

 

[Emperoreddy]

Hogan going that extra mile to add an extra 114 people on top of it. Lol

Doesn't surprise me, if you're a guy wanting to make a documentary like this and dont have any connections to the business, he would probably be your first call.

This is seems to be common theme on reddit. They're going for the "wow factor" amongst people who dont really watch or follow wrestling and only know of Vince, Hogan, The Rock, Stone Cold and John Cena.

A good documentary will have a pretty hardlined foil to the main subject, and no one’s going to play that role better than Dave.

First episode is out. Just finished watching it.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Vince's description of the Gulf War was "Iraq having heat with the US"

Carny to the f***ing end

 

[Sheppy]

Hahahaha Bruce Pritchard is a complete kiss ass loser.

Meltzer was spot on in this imo.

I think he was talking about Iran and the early 80's.
