It turned goofy but i think they dropped the ball with him a little. When he first snapped and turned he was over as a legit crazy person. His chickenwing was putting people in the hospital and he felt like a real threat. Instead of him getting squashed by Nash in 5 seconds i think they could've stretched that feud to WM before putting the belt on him.

Was he shoot the first roided up guy in the business?

He lived pretty long considering guys like Warrior,Savage, Road Warriors, and others checked out so early.

Look up how The Sheik (the orginal one) and Dick The Bruiser made a fortune trying to run each other out of business and went into the hole as soon as one of them won

pic is shopped and fake. SBG never wore that or anything that skimpy in the ring. always the long tights. i don't think he ever wore short tight even early in his career. that quote is fake too although he was certainly no fan or friend of Backlund's whatsoever

Women have a much higher chance of tearing their knees up than men. Its due to how wide their hips are. Called the Q Angle.

makes sense. they need to put the girls through different training, two of your big prospects both going out at the same time with the same injury is a really bad look. didn't Bayley injure her knee the exact same way, during training?

Yesterday i watched the 1984 NJPW tournament for the vacant WWF Jr. Heavyweight championship.
There were three matches:
>Davey Boy Smith Vs. The Cobra
>Davey Boy Smith Vs. Dynamite Kid
>Dynamite Kid Vs The Cobra
This was my very first exposure to Cobra, and i thought he had a way better match against Davey than Dynamite did
