Damn Mr. Perfect was awesome. Another Minnesota born wrestler bites the dust.

Yeah, I was watching Raw last night, and at the very beginning, they had "In Memory Of." I was shocked to hear that. There's still no info about his death, which is wierd. :(

That sucks. He was one of the better wrestlers, especially when he slapped spit into his opponents face.

NOOOOOOOOOO!

Whenever I spit my gum out, I smack it with the palm of my hand in mid-air so it goes flying off into the distance... AND IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF MR. PERFECT!!!! :(

'Tis truly a sad day :tear

Damn .. That bites. I've actually met the man at my old gym and spotted him for a few exercises. That hits just a little too close to home.

This sucks. A friend of mine down South is in charge of a wrestling league that somehow got a hold of a lot of ex-WWF wrestlers and Perfect was one I was hoping to see. Man, that sucks.

But at least it didn't suck at much as the episode WWE dedicated to him. I mean, I don't like to see McMahon inch his way to a Springerque heart attack while some dork tries to kiss his ass. Ugh.

That makes one of us. Vince's ass brings ratings.

AND IT DOES TRICKS >:

Really? So that's how he's funding the WWE now. Ass-tricks. ;)

Off-topic, does anybody else think the initials WWE look like some kind of Women's Channel?

Well, if man-ass is there, Jamesman will watch.

IMO, Mr. Perfect was the second greatest wrestlet ever with Bret Hart being first.....hell they had the greatest match against one another at Summerslam 91

He was good, almost brilliant next to the wrestlers they have now. But honestly, the greatest wrestler was Andre the Giant.

I don't watch much pro-wrestling, but I do remember when Mr.Perfect entered the scene. He was defiantly one of the best love to hate characters out there. As for his death, I wouldn't be surprise that long term use of steroids affected his heart. I heard years back while watching the Olympics that there's a chilling report out there, somewhere, on the premature death of NFL players.

The British Bulldog had the same problem - steroid abuse leading to a weak heart.

Is there a page out there that has all this info on the old school wrestlers? I'm getting quite interested in which guys from my childhood are doing what and which are still living now.

Hell, with everything going on the next thing I'm bound to hear is that the Bushwhackers were really violent Black Panthers. ;)

Believe it or not, a while ago, me and a friend saw a notice for Ted Dibias (however ya spell it) appearing at an old folk's home in my town for some reason...It was kinda cool, but also kinda sad. I would've gone to check it out, but I forgot and the people in those homes creep me out.

Probably for the best. Through the saddest thing I saw was the Iron Sheik at the Motor City Comic Con. He was in a bad mood as him and Nikolai Voltkoff weren't talking and the guy who did the voice for Space Ghost was telling everyone 'not to spout any Anti-American slogans.'

Of course, he ran like a bitch when Nikolai went after him. Go fig. ;)

Ironic that WWE should show a tribute, didn't they can Mr. Perfect just a few months before he died? Then he went to AAW, which, by my understanding, was much better for him. AND they showed the tribute first. AND it was a lot more sincere. But hey, we're talking ratings, right? ::sighs:: the only reason I watch WWE anymore is for Lita. mmmmmm :love

They fired Mr Perfect because he got in a fight with Brock Lesnar on a plane right back to the US. You NEVER challenge Brock, to ANYTHING. He will fucking eat you.

Anyway, Curt kept trying to instigate stuff, and Brock just kept pushing him down, trying not to make it escalated. Eventually Triple H got involved to break it up, and he got pushed into the emergency exit door.

There were other incidents, like X-Pac cutting off Michael Hayes' mullet while he slept, and Goldust getting drunk and singing love songs to his ex-wife, but Curt's situation was a serious endangerment to others.

Oh god...You REALLY need to stop watching that shit.

I have to agree. That was probably the gayest post ever.

Has nothing to do with watching the show.

Oh,a nd SSA, don't ever change. You make me feel so good about myself for not being you. So don't ever take that away from me. :(

The closest I've ever found to it was http://www.kyn.com or http://www.knowyournews.com (I forget without opening my favorites folder which it is)
