Prichard defending the HHH vs Booker angle. I can't remember if I heard this, what was his reasoning?

Prichard defending the HHH vs Booker angle. I can't remember if I heard this, what was his reasoning? Some bullshit about how "people like you" referred to Book being an ex-WCW guy, which completely ignores the "nappy hair" comment.

Conrad then asked him, "Did triple h ever told a white babyface to carry his bags?" The bitch Prichard had no answer.

Everytime Teddy Hart opens his mouth. He said that he was a police informant, this at the time he was accused of two rapes.

The initial promo was such an unforced error because HHH did in fact mock Booker for being WCW Champion when it was being held by Russo and Arquette, but no one remembers that because of the "nappy hair" remark.

Jesse Ventura saying that Bobby Heenan resented him because he knew he could never be a better commentator than Jesse. It's a ridiculous statement considering that the two are so close to each other in commentary ability.
Whenever Bret Hart talks about Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair or Triple H. It's just ridiculous how little credit he gives to those guys.

I'm reminded of a New Age Outlaws shoot where they ask what it was like working against the New Midnight Express. Billy Gunn's response: "We didn't work with the Midnight Express, me and Bart did." So apparently Bart wrestled himself. That whole interview was pretty bad as it seemed like they didn't remember anything that was asked. Then they actually started getting pissy with the interviewer about it as if he was asking them these obscure questions that would be impossible for them to remember. Like I get it that some wrestlers don't have that good of a memory compared to a lot of fans especially when you consider the schedule they have and all the days probably blending together for them, but at the same time that doesn't mean you have to get an attitude with the interviewer when he's just doing his job. It's not his fault you guys don't remember anything.

It's just ridiculous how little credit he gives to those guys. Eh, I'd say Bret gives Hogan quite a lot of credit. Even though he obviously doesn't care for him on a personal level, he readily acknowledges that Hogan is the biggest star in wrestling history and that he did a great job as the top star for the WWF over many years. He also compliments him for being more like "one of the boys" than someone like Warrior was, and that Hogan always treated the fans well (also unlike Warrior).

Those guys literally did a burial DVD on him don’t forget.

I mean, would anyone blame him if he blotted the new Midnight Express from his memory?

I don't know when him and Bart could've worked the original Midnight Express since neither team was in a promotion together at the same time and the Original Midnight Express were long done as a team when the Smoking Gunns debuted. I guess he could've been thinking of the Heavenly Bodies since they were both managed by Cornette.

Rick Martel one time claimed that the Wrestlemania 5 Strike Force breakup was NOT in the script and he decided to do it himself for whatever reason. And that they just decided to 'run with it' with the heel turn and Model gimmick.

The initial promo was such an unforced error because HHH did in fact mock Booker for being WCW Champion when it was being held by Russo and Arquette, but no one remembers that because of the "nappy hair" remark. He did, but in the weeks leading up to Mania, the comments were leaning more towards the racial aspect of it rather than him as a WCW champion, with the incident in the bathroom where Trips threw a dollar at Book and told him to get a towel for him. I think it was only at the WM19 3rd Degree special where Cole asked Trips about it and he tried to say the "people like you" comment was geared towards guys like Michael Cole also, which was silly. If the feud was about the whole "Big fish, small pond WCW Champ" deal, I probably wouldn't have cared so much if Trips went over.

Man, I had no idea Manny Fernandez led such an interesting life Haha he also claimed to injure Invader 2 in Puerto Rico as revenge for Bruiser Brody...it was a wrestling angle Manny. Apart from Manny Fernandez, I think Bobby Jaggers is wrestling's biggest liar. Apparently he claimed that Elvis Presley was his fan and recognized him at a concert, Cornette also told a story about Jaggers claiming to have been in an accident and the car was split in half leaving Bobby only grabbing the steering wheel.

Bret Hart claiming he was the most over person in the UK... in 1992. Obviously Bulldog was the most over in the UK, but Bret was definitely 2nd. So it's not that ridiculous a claim to make in my opinion, even if it is untrue. Bret was hugely over all across Europe.

He was over, but the most over is a damned stupid thing to say (Even second is questionable when Savage and Warrior were there). It's like Undertaker saying he was the most over guy in Canada in 1997. It also completely ignores Davey Boy and his contributions which is a great disservice.

Kevin Nash saying that Goldberg's plan after the Fingerpoke of Doom was derailed when Goldberg hurt his hand punching out a limo window, which didn't happen until a year after, and had nothing to do with the Goldberg failed push. This is the one I came here to post. I think Nash genuinely remembers it that way, but it drives me crazy every time I hear him say it, especially since it’s always an explanation of why the finger poke of doom failed. Another one along those lines is Flair saying on his podcast that he found Brody’s body in the showers, when I’ve read he wasn’t even in Puerto Rico at the time.

He was wrestling in the States that same day. Flair has a notorious "bad" memory, likely because of the drugs and booze. While it doesn't seem like a big one, one of the ones he's constantly bringing up is the trade that got him sent to Mid-Atlantic, in which he gets the year and who got traded completely wrong every time. I'll be fair to Billy Bitchcakes here and assume he was confusing them for the original Midnight Express. I mean, would anyone blame him if he blotted the new Midnight Express from his memory? The "real" Midnight Express (any combination of Condrey, Eaton and Lane) was already disbanded and hadn't existed for two and a half years when the Gunns started with WWF. Apart from Manny Fernandez, I think Bobby Jaggers is wrestling's biggest liar. Nah, wrestling's biggest liar would be "Hangman" Bruce Pobanz. Google him sometime. I've only left him out of this so far because I don't think anyone's been stupid enough to pay him to do a shoot.
