At Rumble V, who does Okerlund scold for smoking?

[Deleted]

When they're interviewing Ric Flair for winning the belt, Okerlund interrupts his commentary about halfway through (immediately after Perfect, Heenan and Flair say ".. but, we TOLD YOU SO!" in unisod) to tell someone off camera to "put out that cigarette!" with a dirty look, and then he shoots another dirty look shortly after.

"TV's The Truth Guy", this should be right up your street ^.^

Unless you're under the impression I have different footage than you, how could we possibly answer that?

It was just someone backstage. Maybe a camera man or production guy....

Oh, I don't know.. it's not like people working in the wrestling industry know people? Christ, I hear stories about what goes on backstage all the time posted on this board. Since this was something rather egregious (to the point where Gene-O had to openly scold someone during a very big moment) I figured word may have gotten around.

When I asked what exactly the deal was with McIntyre/Moolah at WMII, no one scolded me for asking something unknowable. Chillax man.

Pat Patterson, he finally started to smoke that cigarette behind his ear.

Genuine answer or homosexual intercourse metaphor that presently eludes my understanding?

Yeah, but the ending to a match is a little more knowable than 3 words Okerlund said to a unseen person almost 16 years ago. People who report things probably didn't consider "Put that cigarette out!" newsworthy.

I'd like to think it was Gene's wife, and they had a fight about it in the car later.

You're right, what absolute idiot thinks that a live, on-air, completely mood-shattering moment during the middle of a promo that was crowning the greatest WWF signing in the company history would ever be remembered or in a trivia. I mean, this website knows what was really in the bag that Earthquake sat on, they know who smiled at the wrong time in the middle of a promo to kill their career.

My humblest apologies for being a big flaming ignoramus for not realizing that my trivia is pitiful, ignorant and pathetic in comparison to YOUR trivia.

Genuine answer. He always has a cig behind his ear.

Ok, NOW I want to know...

1. What was really in the bag that Earthquake sat on?

2. Who (make Neidhart joke if you blow goats!) smiled at the wrong time in the middle of a promo to kill their career?

3. How humble are your humblest apologies? As humble as Blairs apologies to Sheik?

The answer to 1)--^ is hamburger stuffed into pantyhose, 'Quake said so in an interview on wrestlecrap.

I would guess that two could apply to different people, but the first person I think of is Paul London earlier this summer.

Imagine if that incident happened today...the backstage heat rumors would be through the roof! (I heard that Vince McMahon hates smoking)

As for my guess? Umm, Andrew Dice Clay?
