clintthecrippler Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 If Chris Jericho told me that was an award he was winning I would say "that sounds made up" and think he was messing with me. And then he would still call me a "mark" on Twitter anyway even though I didn't believe him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny because the list of people awarded it was pretty prestigious but Vince is totally right. I think he did eventually have them mention it I think he just really enjoyed messing with Jericho like when he asked he and Christian to get stripped naked on Raw for an angle and when Jericho balked he said it "really isn't that big of a deal" before changing the angle. Or when Jericho had to defend the IC title against a mystery fan vote opponent and they wouldn't tell him who because it had to be a surprise. Or Jericho also tells the great story of him and Triple H trying to come up with a way to get from inside the HIAC to the top of it and Vince, having just seen Spider-man suggests they shoot webs and swing up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both his real name and ring name have interesting pedigrees; "Steamboat" of course comes from Lou Thesz protege Sammy Steamboat, and as Ricky was also billed as being Hawaiian (he's as much Hawaiian as I am, he's a native New Yorker who never set foot on the islands until his wrestling career was well underway). As for his real name, let's turn back the clock to the 1920s and Rafael Sabatini's swashbuckler, Captain Blood, who despite being a pirate was most definitely portrayed as a babyface, being brought to life on the silver screen by no less than Errol Flynn. If you're being portrayed by Errol Flynn in the 1930s, that's about as babyface as it gets. So both names have face attachments, tweeners at the absolute worst.

GuerrillaMonsoon Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Yeah but he named one of his most used spots after his love for skinning defenseless cats. That's still pretty messed up. 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Those cats were never defenseless, he was fighting for his life against them and their onslaught of lasers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curt McGirt Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Vince and Jericho are good friends so I'm not surprised Vince gives him shit like that. Captain Blood was actually on TCM recently and though it didn't hold my attention the final swordfight was pretty neat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niners Fan in CT Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 If anyone wants ever wants to chat with me about panic/anxiety toss me a PM. I dealt with that shit for 4 years, still do on occasion but it is a lot better than it was so trust me it gets better. I was near rock bottom with it at one point and I've come along way. It gets better. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPPA Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The first 15 minutes is just two friends talking (plus cameo Cesaro acting like a goof) so you can enjoy that and not watch the workout stuff.

Ryan Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Steamboat did wrestle as his real name Richard Blood and the unfortunate variation DICK BLOOD very early on in AWA, also in AJPW in the 70s. Also, yes, Tito did wrestle as Richard Blood randomly in the same time period. SO MUCH VIOLENCE! 30AJPW Giant Series 1978 - Day 29 1978/11/08 @ City Gymnasium in Kameyama, Mie (Japan) The Destroyer defeated Dick Blood (17:25 minutes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
