The Strange But True Thread
 

Hi all,

I just thought it would be fun to post strange but true facts about wrestlers. Eg :

Cornette once wanted a hooker to shove a banana up his asshole.

Sid shat himself during a match with the Undertake

Go on add to the list. (they must be true!)

The Great Khali has 4 pet poodles he travels with.

Vince McMahon truly felt the XFL would succeed.

Lawler has a big time foot fetish.

Gene Snitsky actually broke the vase that got Rhino fired. Snitsky used the "Not My Fault" defense and everyone, even Rhino, believed it.

Hogan Knows best is stupid because the family's last name isn't even Hogan.

Lashley is afraid of heights.

Assuming Undertaker beats Batista, he'll have defeated all four members of Evolution in singles matches at Wrestlemania.

I love it when wrestling throws stuff up like that.

Vince McMahon's favorite wrestler is DR. Jerry Graham, interestingly enough Dr. Graham's used to spit water out of his mouth.

Is it a coincidance that a certain son in law does a similar trick?

It's more interesting in the sense that he spits instead of swallows.

Brian Adams has HIV.

Although his addition was kind of a heel tactic to destroy him, Eugene was technically a member of Evolution for a bit. The WrestleMania 24 opponent of Undertaker revealed?

lol, I swear I was just thinking about this the other day.

Glen Jacobs has degrees in both English and Education.

B.G. James was born with only one nostril. He had a septum surgically attached at the age of four.

In the mid 80s, Finlay wrestled a tour in Poland under the name Dick Phlegm.

Justin Credible was the original choice to play the gimmick of The Undertaker, but Hulk Hogan suggested that Mark Callaway would be a better fit.

Before becoming a professional wrestler, Bret Hart worked as a masseuse.

Dusty Rhodes was originally cast to play Bernie in the hit 80s comedy Weekend At Bernie's, but scheduling clashes cost him the role.

During his four year break from wrestling in the early 90s, the Ultimate Warrior ballooned to over 350lbs.

Ravishing Rick Rude once beat two marines to a pulp with just a glance.

The Warlord once told Jim Powers a joke during a match, and they both laughed until they were sick. This was in 1991.

Many wrestlers have strange habits and rituals on the road when travelling together; Vader was known for masturbating everytime he drove through Macon, Ric Flair would wear thirteen pairs of socks on the drive from the hotel to the arena and Koko B Ware would watch a video of Trading Places every single night he was on the road.

Hillbilly Jim had a pet monkey which would often ride in his beard, and due to his competitive nature, in response Jim Neidhart started carrying a ferret in his goatee.

Steve Corino was born a hermaphrodite, and only made a decision on which sex he would opt for at the age of thirteen.

In 1989, during the promotion for Ghostbusters II, Vince McMahon made Dan Aykroyd a huge money offer in order to crown two of the Ghostbusters as WWF World Tag Team Champions, putting them over the Brain Busters. Aykroyd refused the deal.

Speaking of strange but TRUE facts, apparently Vince McMahon is a spokesperson for Crufts, the UK's answer to the Westminster dog show. Don't believe me? Check Wikipedia! It MUST be true.

No-one? Oh, okay.

tsk tsk tsk :nono

British Bulldog was originally suppossed to be the 4th member of the nWo.

Actually, Bulldog was also supposed to be the 3rd man, as was Bret Hart, Ultimate Warrior, Sean Waltman and Roddy Piper.

Hogan was kind of a last resort when they couldn't secure a "WWF" guy, so Hogan (opportunist that he is) jumped on the Outsider bandwagon. A lucky accident, so to speak.

I read fourth according to Meltz or one of those guys.

It was Alveraz, and LC would be correct.

Vince Mcmahon truly feels ECW will succeed. So in that case...:wavesad: to ECW.

Well Bulldog was in contract negotiations for several months with WWE in mid '96. He was going to be the 3rd man, but ended up signing a short term contract extention with WWE in order to finish up his program with Shawn Michaels. When that expired, WCW pursued him once again to join the nWo as the fourth man, but he ended up staying with WWF.
