The Psychology Behind the No Show

[Next Big Thing]

Apparently Sandman no showed the Impact tapings. After looking at the dude, he's lucky to be anywhere near a ring. Scott Hall did this a few years back in his match with Nash against Samoa Joe.

My question is, what do you guys think these washed up/ borderline blacklisted stars are thinking when they are given second chances and choose not to take them. Is it a pride issue or are they just drugged out fuck ups?

[Theo Dious]

Usually it's rooted in apathy brought on by substance abuse.

[Theo Dious]

Though, and I can't remember any off the top of my head, but I'm sure people have no-showed to play hardball either in contract negotiations or just to try to prove their worth or some such.

[Razzamajazz]

i thought the sandman retired about 2 years ago

[Furious Beardsley]

It could be any number of factors...could be as simple as they just don't care anymore.

[VSG]

People chanting "ECDub" and "EV 2.0" are responsible.

God dammit, Sandman, you're disappointing your fans.


All like, six of us.

[Nark Order]

Probably because they'd rather not show up than show up as a shell of their former selves so everybody can see first hand what wastes they've become.

[Droford]

They didnt promise an open bar after the show?

[Kane Knight]

Nash will manage to find employment.

Sandman? Well, all he's got is ECW....

[bigslimjj]

alcoholics man...What cha gonna do?

[Swiss Ultimate]

Not enough crack.

[teamXtremist]

dude is fat and old fuck him

[YoungFlyFlashy]

A bum who caught a lucky wave with a small time cult like movement in ECW and has never shown appreciation for it. People like Sandman clearly like everything that comes with being (somewhat) a famous wrestler (drugs, women, fans, etc. etc.) except for actually wrestling.

Let's face it. Sandman got his one little shot at the bigtime, 4 or 5 years ago as part of the same idea. A company with little imagination playing the ECW card to get a little boost. What motivation does he really have to work for a two bit promotion like TNA when he's going to be fed to people like Matt Morgan and then discarded after a month. Frankly I wouldn't of even bothered turning up for the PPV but he got what he wanted - a pay cheque and I suspect that was all he after.
