As a kid I found that all to be very entertaining. How did it come about? He was a member of the Horsemen at the time and he's randomly feuding with other heels and then he and Dan end up reuniting My friend, it never had handles to begin with. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 8 hours ago, Nice Guy Eddie said: It's also stated in Pillman's book that he had been complaining about what he thought was just bad heartburn before his death. The way my wife explained it, the pain in the chest and left arm numbness are more consistent with women when it comes to heart attacks. In men the symptoms are things like bad heartburn, nausea, sweating (however excessive) and it can all look more like the flu than anything else. I think we talked about that stuff right around when Kevin Smith had his heart attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd never heard that before, just that they wanted a name that they could trademark, but it sounds plausible enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A friend of mine that was still in undergrad when I went off to get my master's could never discuss wrestling with me over email without referring to "Stone Cold Steve Autism". This is why we have autocorrect now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nash was scheduled to lose to Sabin at Hard Justice 2006 and hurt his neck(allegedly) the week before moving furniture. Alex Shelly took his place. Nash blew a quad walking across the ring. Hurting his neck while moving furniture sounds plausible, assuming you believe Nash wouldn't try to get out of moving furniture in the first place. 1 hour ago, Ryan said: Many years later, he would eat their children, they should have listened. Triple H has four kids. Chances are, Tyson would fill up on the first three, at the most. That would leave Hunter with at least one kid. That's not too bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Lord Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 You know Vince is still stinging over the WWF thing, so it would be like him to make a vegan environmentalist heel champion 15 years later. 10 minutes ago, Ace said: Eddie Guerrero wasn't looking good in retrospect towards the end. I remember after Summerslam that year I posted that he should take a few months off. He looks so damn exhausted. In retrospect the same thing could be said about The Ultimate Warrior. I mean just watch everything from the Hall of Fame weekend. He was with out a doubt having all the tell tale signs of a heart attack. I'm surprised no one really noticed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Web Conn Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 To be fair Warrior had the perennial signs of a heart attack for his entire career. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig H Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Then you have all the stories about Eddy from that time where until match time he would just be laying down flat somewhere and in pain, but once it was his time to perform he would go out and perform.

MonteCarl Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Saw this posted on Reddit and found it interesting.

Man, as much as I love Michael Dorn as Cold Stone, now I kinda wish Austin were involved in some kinda Gargoyles revival. I mean he's gotta be a better VA casting choice than say, Jim Belushi right?
