Remember these things? Bret Hart’s popped up as a meme elsewhere and I remembered how much I used to enjoy them all those years ago. A bunch are collected online here: www.pinterest.co.uk/jamieleecostell/wwf-personality-profiles/If you Google there could be even more. Here are a few for those who don’t feel like clicking:

The Rock one is VERY interesting considering what would happen in later years.

After a quick search, Rocky listed his first wife [then probable fiance] as his favorite actress, not to be confused with the then-yet to be born AEW wrestler.

I remember them well. I expected them to be kayfabe, made up by writers but they seem pretty real especially lots of Rocky's and the way Marty acts. Val's is all kayfabe.

Would like the Apter ones from I think Wrestling Superstars (the ones with the Superstar Dream Match column). They used to have centerfolds with similar profiles.

Thanks for posting these. I am actually going to use the Rocky one for some work social media projects. I am always making wrestling references at work. Not too many wrestling fans here. Very few, if any ever heard of "Rocky Maivia" and they get a confused look on their face. But mention Dwayne Johnson or The Rock and OH of course they know him. Rocky's early career really shows how perseverance and believing in yourself pays off.
I actually just read a story last week, told by Mark Henry, where someone smeared poop in Rocky's sandwich. That's got to be into Rock's heel turn because I don't think Mark was around Rocky Maivia in 1996 or 1997, I believe.

Granted, of course he was injured a lot of times during the early run of his career as well as his later years, but still.

The Stone Cold one is pretty funny if you can find it. It was written pre-face turn, so it's in full blown heel mode. Although, I'm like 90 percent certain he didn't actually write any of his answers. They kinda just don't seem like things Steve would actually say, but it's still something to get a kick out of.

I forgot that Mark would be around if Rocky had some dark matches for WWF pre Survivor Series. But he was injured before Survivor Series so unless WWF was bringing him to shows and not working, I still wonder about the timing. I can also see into early 1998 someone doing the crap sandwich especially a DX member. I have no doubt it happened to Rocky and we've known for years it happened to Mark.

The Brian Pullman one is ironic because he says that his biggest joy was bringing his son into the world. “AND MAYBE HE WILL BE JUST LIKE DAD.” Well, Brian Jr. did become a wrestler but fortunately like his dad, never did drugs (at least as far as I know.)

I remember Edge had one when he debuted and all the questions it asked him were left blank just to fit the character he had at the time.
