As the head creative mind for a popular television product, this is a very bad thing. And I'd like to add Shawn Michaels's back injury to the pile. He was very hurt and needed extended time off, but not 4 years. He was an addict who was barely functioning. I think it CAN be a bad thing, but too much pop culture awareness dates your show horribly the second you're not on the bubble. See: Ranallo, Mauro. |

Without a doubt, the one that gets me the most, the one that really is misunderstood in my book (besides Bret having grounds to not want to drop the belt) is.... Finger Poke Of Doom. Listen to fans these days, they act as if everyone hated it, and it was booed and wcws ratings were lower next nitro, and it killed the company etc etc.... When none of that is true
The Fingerpoke of Doom was dumb in isolation, but salvageable. But since there was zero follow-up...yeah.
Still, what really tanked ratings and attendance came a few months later, when they disastrously attempted to double-turn Hogan and Flair.

Was it ever confirmed that Ken Shamrock gave Vader a swirlie during a backstage altercation?

I never see it get questioned but Andre's drinking might fit the bill, it's just wrestling is full of embellishments and its probably easy for it to go from Andre drank 40 beers to 50 beers and so on. Maybe he did do what everyone says, it's just in a business where you have to approach things with a degree of sepactism Carey Elwes wouldn't lie to us. Even though he seems to be the most story driven andre story teller |
