Well, that's valid. The only way I could possible defend that is to say that we all say things in the heat of the moment and are tactless where we should be tactful.
Case in point, there's no reason to call it gay.

Apparently, there's also an audio clip of the interview, where he sounds off on Hogan, Flair, Janetty, Hennig, and others.

I'm surprised they didn't ask him more about Raven. Maybe they did, I only read what was printed, I haven't actually listened to the interview.
I would be interested in hearing his reaction to Raven's claim that Clarke thought Raven being his manager meant that he made all his travel arrangments (hotel, rental cars, etc.) and when Raven said that he was just his on-air manager, Clarke protested and said, "what about what Paul Ellering is doing for the Legion of Doom?" even though LOD paid Ellering to do that stuff for them....

Thought it was funny that Bischoff wanted to call Goldberg... BRICK! I know its just a ring name, but still, seems it would have killed his chances making as big as he did.

Oh, as I said in after "bitter", but in b4 Shawn Michaels fanboys defending their precious holy newborn "Christian". I never knew I was a fanboy. All this time I thought I liked Shawn for his ring ability and passion for the business. Thanks for clearing that up. And honestly, its very f***ed up of the guy to call out a man's wife, regardless of what may or may not have happened in the past. And does the fact that Shawn 'held him back' mean that his new found religion is fake? Really? Because of something he did in 1994? Because a wrestler who doesn't like him would like to point out that "Shawn was a douche and I never liked him." And "The Kliq held everyone back."... regardless of if it was true or not. I like to see both sides of the story and not blast someone because of what the internet says.

Clarke seems like an ass. He considers everyone a p.o.s. and seems full of himself.

Wow.
Before this, reading an Adam Bomb book would've been cool.
Now.............eh, not so much.

If the Nitro Girls were coke whore strippers, why should he NOT say it if that's what he thinks/saw?
Why is it wrong saying Bam Bam was a fat piece of shit? Just because he's dead? A dead piece of shit doesn't cease to be a piece of shit. Moreso, I think he meant it as "he was in such a bad shape it was impossible to have a decent match with", and he explains it too.
I don't get why some things just "shouldn't" be said.
If a former worker has nice things to say, he's kissing asses because he's fancying a comeback or a job backstage. If a former worker speaks his mind with unflattering remarks, he's a bitter never-was who's just jealous and useless.
We've heard so many bad things about the Kliq (and Shawn in primis) from so many people it's hard to believe ALL of them are bitter losers.
While I think Adam Bomb couldn't possibly go much further than he did, the rest of the interview doesn't scream "I could have be the next Hogan, but "they" held me down"

Brick would of been the worst name ever! No, it would HAVE been. "Would of" makes no sense and is incorrect. Learn. Geez.

Probably because he wasn't, and Adam freakin' Bomb is the last person to call anybody out on having bad matches.

In one of Raven's shoot interviews, he said that the Quebecers expected him to do that too & he hated it.

Bryan Clark is in no position to criticize someone's in-ring ability, especially someone with far more talent like Bam Bam Bigelow.

Of course we can't hear Bam Bam's version, but I still maintain it's stupid ripping on a guy just because he's criticizing a dead man.
Moreso, if you actually read past the "piece of shit" line, it refers to THAT SPECIFIC POINT IN TIME, so he didn't say Bam Bam was an horrible person and wrestler. He just said that when they had THAT match, Bam Bam wasn't in the greatest shape (euphemism) and even Bam Bam hiself admitted that.
Asskissing a dead person just because he's dead it's the lowest form of asskissing. Just because you're six feet under it doesn't mean you couldn't have been a bad human being or not the bestest to ever walk on this planet, or at least the greatest in your line of work and personal life.
It makes me sick...

I'm not critizing him for Bigelow being dead. I'm ripping him because he was for all intends and purposes, a pretty bad wrestler for the majority of his career.

It's funny how the ones who always question Shawn Michaels' Christianity and attempt to stir the pot a bit are the ones who come across as the most bitter. Amusing correlation there. Dude's just trying to cause some controversy and get some money from shoot interviews by calling far better talents nasty names, that's all this is.

That being said, I can belive that Micheals was a douchebag back in the day.

Well sure, I don't think there's any doubt he was a jerk in his day, even as recent as 2001 when he showed up for a TV taping pilled off his head and got sent home. How Bryan Clarke has the scoops on his current Christianity, though, I don't know. After all, Clarke was fired in 2001 for... being just a bit rubbish, to say the least.

also in shawn michaels new book he comes off as a dick.
I mean the guy is just not a likable person when you look at his career, I think he's gotten tamer recently but still it's hard to feel sorry for him.

Case in point, there's no reason to call it gay. But attacking a women physically or verbally is very gay. Theres nothing manly about it at all. Which is why I'll never respect Stone Cold or that disgusting man named Benoit.
