To anyone who has read Bret's Biography
What was the deal with him and Daveyboy at SS '92? I was watching it on youtube and apparently Davey was coming off a coke/crack binge and was in awful shape and Bret had to carry him.
But also apparently something else should have happened when the match was over and Davey went for the handshake too early? What else was supposed to happen? I'd put this in Q and A but fuck that noone would answer the damned question. But I want to know the whole story going into and aftermath of the match... PLZ and THX Team Toxic 4 lyfe |

Well I only know the basis I don't really understand anything clearly that happened? What was supposed to happen after the match? What spots did Bulldog fuck up otherwise? Was there any tension between the two?

oh got ya.
ok so a couple months or so before Summerslam, Bulldog injured himself in a match. So he sat home all summer just drinking and smoking crack with Jim Neidhart according to Bret. So he showed up for the match in no shape what so ever to wrestle. Bret pretty much carried the entire thing. Bulldog blew a couple spots or didn't remember what he was suppossed to do. He crotched Bret on the post once, he mistimed Bret's plancha to the outside and a couple other things. On the handshake, if you watch the tape, look at Bret right after the match. He's all pissed off. He was doing this deliberately so Bulldog would come over and extend his hand and Bret would look around and finally shake it. Instead, Bulldog forgot about it and Bret just walked over and shook his hand. |

Not in relation to yr question but I love the story about him and Neidhart doing the Hart Attack on Vince in a nightclub after LOD faked like they were going to give him the Doomsday Device.

Also, if I ever injured myself, I'd spend my time recovering by smoking crack and drinking with the Anvil.

lol Heart Attack on Vince.
Bulldog definitely seemed blown up for the majority of the match, Bret was on the offensive most of the time and when Bulldog got offense or was walking around he looked like he wanted to die. He was also puffy as shit. And Bret did almost murder him with that plancha but it ended up looking like an awesome move. |

there was supposed to be a moment where davey turns around and he and bret then reconcile with a handshake. The whole point was to make a heartwarming moment. But davey was busy playing to the crowd.

Damn. This thread is ruining one of my favorite childhood memories.
Pretty amazing how that match is still considered the best match in Summerslam history by WWE.com. |

davey missed spots like crazy that night. Possibly the only ppv where the intercontinental title was the main event.
The finish was something bret got from his stampede days. It worked well and was hard to botch even for davey. |

So, are there any stories in Bret's book that don't involve him "carrying" someone, burying someone, talk about how great Bret is, or anything that doesn't make Bret look like the arrogant cock that he is?

At least I know the balls I'd be tickling were classy and faithful to his wife. How about you go tickle the balls of some washed up wrestler who only is still famous because he put over Shawn Michaels.

lol yeah HHH is a great guy, keep believing that
![]() And I don't know if you've noticed this, but other than maybe 1-3 matches a year, HHH is pretty mediocre nowadays. I guess it's hard to pick up on that fact when his balls are so firmly entrenched in your mouth, it's easy to get blinded. |

Though I guess I lose because you're loser ass wants an altercation, but you suck so much I really don't have a choice. |

Alright. I'm about 70 pages into this book but I've decided I have to go for it now that I don't have school. Determined to finish it before his return. Wish me luck, everybody.

Hopefully you don't die from boredom. I can't imagine reading 592 pages of "I'm the best. Shawn Michaels is a fag. Vince McMahon is an asshole. How could they screw me after everything I did for the company. Man, I fucked this one chick in Brussels and her tits were HUGE. Did I forget to mention that I am the single greatest entity in the history of the world?"

I can honestly admit that at one time, as of late actually, I completely despised Triple H. I joined hands with "smarks" across the web in propounding my disgust for this superstar because of his back-stage politics, marriage to Stephanie, talent-squashing ways, blah, blah, blah. I mean I honestly thought I had Paul pinned down as pro-wrestling's anti-Christ and if need be could reel off every excuse in the book for what now seems to be just a blatantly ignorant viewpoint.
What led me to my proverbial "seeing of the light" so-to-speak were two things: first, that at one time I considered HHH to be my favorite wrestler next only to The Rock and second, I recently did some digging for any and all information on the "Cerebral Assassin". Much to my surprise, I was dumb-founded with what I had uncovered. Seems like Paul Levesque, aka Hunter Hearst-Helmsley aka The Game, is that damn good. However I must credit www.triplehunleashed.com for making me see the error of my ways. Had I not come across this site out of boredom, I may still be among the legions of naysayers who have issues with Levesque and HHH. Gratefully, my once skewed viewpoint has been straightened to a certain degree. Don't get me wrong, I still had my gripes. The 30-minute promos, the predictable matches, the dominant title reigns: HHH has used all of these tactics much to the chagrin of the avid internet smark. But who hasn't" On top of that, once I really thought about those three factors and how they pertain to the business, those gripes turned to gratitude. If you want to hate on his promos, at least the guy can get fans to listen, at least he deserves to have a mic in his hand (compared to some of the lackluster orators who find it the epitome of difficulty to even string together a coherent sentence, much less a monologue riveted with passion and intensity). If I had a choice of a heel promo, give me Trip's any day of the week. If you want to hate on his predictable matches than go ahead and throw Flair, Cena, HBK, Austin, Hogan, Rock, hell, throw 75% of the marquee superstars of this industry into the exact same category because like it or not: when a wrestler is "over" with the fans, they know the fans want to see those signature spots. It's smart money-making. If you want to hate on his title reigns, then you must really not understand the business as well as you think you do. I don't know about you, but HHH restored so much credibility to the championship that I couldn't wait to see him drop the belt, it made me salivate that much more for a deserving star to grab the ball and run with it. Or would you rather have the days of WCW when the belt meant nothing more than some gold and leather, because it was being switched left and right to undeserving "wrestlers". (David Arquette anyone") The truth is this: HHH has done his job better than anyone on the current roster, both shows included. Why" Because he's truly made all us smarks hate him, loathe him and BELIEVE IN THE UNDERCARD. That's the whole point of a heel, right" They make us hate them, make us hurl obscenities, even drive us to the point of swearing off wrestling... but we still watch with baited breath for the moment that heel is toppled and makes way for the new blood. HHH is the best heel in the history of this industry because during a time of low ratings and weak buy rates, he has given the belt the legacy it deserves, the respect it commands. More importantly, Levesque himself is the complete opposite of the character he portrays. While HHH has turned on his friends time and time again for the sake of power (X-Pac, Nash, HBK), Levesque on the other hand supported his friends during the infamous Kliq-Madison Square Garden incident, stood by his decision and took his punishment like a man. While HHH has a hunger for violence and destruction, Levesque seems like a sincerely "good" person. His "confrontation" with Bill Goldberg at a certain convention was more so Goldberg's immaturity and lack of professionalism to which Levesque laughed off with the best of intentions. While HHH has had an iron-grip on the title, seemingly reluctant to drop it, Levesque has stated his desire to work with many of today's top workers. He truly believes in a lot of talent out there, but he knows the nature of this business. He knows what draws money and he, despite many insider accounts, sees promise in working with young up-and-comers and looks forward to helping them become a "polished stone". Trust me, I read a lot on the net about Trip. I've read articles from "insider professionals" which do nothing but spew venom claiming the WWE is heading for disaster because of Levesque's supposed "pull" with Vince. I've read countless entries from smarks saying he's holding people down. I used to believe all this, all because I refused to give him his due. Scores of wrestlers say HHH is everything he claims to be and more. Ric Flair has said, "Triple H is the best wrestler alive in the business today. Coming from me that's about as strong of an assessment there can be." The Undertaker himself said, "Triple H has definitely earned my respect....and uh, you know, I don't throw praise lightly." And if you honestly believe he's the nail in the WWE's coffin than why not read what many other wrestlers say about him. I mean that should be as close as getting it from the source as us smark's are going to get. If you search, you'll see they respect him for being a dedicated wrestler who has a passion for the industry paralleled by few wrestlers. If you search, read about the kind of work ethic he brings to table, read about the commitment to excellence he harbours, read about the countless number of superstars he's helped create, legacies he's helped preserve. If you search, you'll see a side of HHH that may surprise you, like it did me. Search and seek, for the truth will set HHH free.
