CM Punk walking around the locker room dressed like Dolomite while on ECW for literally no reason. Isn't the second part of this story that he backhands Arn Anderson? |

I'm always simultaneously amused and pissed off by the Muhammad Hassan/Eddie Guerrero camel clutch story, especially since I've heard it told live by Ken Anderson doing his best bulging-eyed pissed-off Eddie impression and Shawn Daivari corroborating everything.
For those who haven't heard the story or need a refresher: during Hassan's run on Smackdown, someone (Anderson cited Angle) got in Hassan's ear and told him that he should tell Eddie to stop using the camel clutch mid-match, since it was Hassan's finisher and "he's totally killing your finish, man, you're a top guy, you gotta protect your finish!" Being 24 and impressionable (Hassan himself has said in interviews that he was reluctant to say anything, since "that's Eddie Guerrero, man, I can't tell him to not do anything!", but Angle pushed him), Hassan goes up to Eddie, and asks Eddie if he could stop using the move.
Eddie gets up slowly, turns to Hassan (again, in Anderson's retelling, clenched jaw and eyes about ready to bug out Marty Feldman-style), and goes "Do you know who invented that move?"
Poor, dumb Hassan replies "uhh...the Iron Sheik?"
Eddie leans in and growls "My f***ing father did." Hassan was apparently scared shitless for a good while, ate a Wrestler's Court judgment, and generally carried the heat of that incident with some parties until the day he was released. It's hilarious, but also makes me go "wow, Kurt was an asshole for doing that to Hassan."

The guy who pitched a frozen Nazi gimmick, goose stepped around the room and Vince just packed his briefcase and left in silence. Vince not having a clue who Frank Shamrock is and wanting to fight him. "Who the f*** hired Raven?" The creative team pitching angles and jokes similar to There's Something About Mary because it was Vince's favourite movie, then out of the blue he decided he now liked Old Dogs better and didn't laugh at the Something About Mary pitches. Vince liking Old Dogs pretty much says everything you'll ever need to know about him. |

It's hilarious, but also makes me go "wow, Kurt was an asshole for doing that to Hassan." I think I heard in another interview someone described as since Angle was Angle and was basically booked as a top guy from day one he really didn't understand the implications of putting Hassan up to that since no one was going to shit on Kurt because of who he was so he just assumed Hassan could get away with it too. Or alternatively he didn't like Hassan and wanted him to get heat. |

Well, long story short, the wrestlers were in the airport, and Bradshaw, for reasons only known to himself, shoved Blackman into the baggage area, prompting Blackman to pick himself up and KO Bradshaw with one kick. I'd sure love to know why Bradshaw thought that was a good idea According to Pritchard Show and ive heard it said somewhere he said "because im a dumbass" |

The one about Buff Bagwell pissing off so many people that every time he left his hat somewhere he'd return to find it had been crushed.
Eventually he just decided to crush it himself and when he returned it had been fixed.

JR was very high on bringing in Gail Kim
Vince didn't want to bring her in because be didn't think the American men would find an Asian woman attractive.
JR then showed Vince the Asian section of a porn site. Vince was shocked that Asian porn exists and that American men watch it.
And that's (supposedly) how Gail Kim got hired in WWE.

Most of the stories involving today's generation of wrestlers clashing with the older generation whether it comes to booking or whatnot. For example, the story about The Shield bullying writers and brass demending not to lose to the Cenas and being booked horribly just to protect them. A lot of the newer guys around then were complacent as to what they'd do and not do and that made it easier for guys to be written bad. The Shield, the leaders of that NXT generation of stars, decided to say "nah, f*** that, we're going old school" and it worked out in their favor. Now whenever I read stories about them backstage it's usually about them talking to Vince about what to do and what not to do, them holding a large spot in the locker room and them basically being the leaders. They sort of have that old school mentality of "nah, you can't do this to me" and yet have morphed it into a mentality that fits with today's wrestlers with their gaming, niceness and overall wholesome attitudes.
Oh and of course all the Enzo bullshit was HI-LA-RI-OU-S.

Randy Orton beccoming the undercover locker room leader out of nowhere, after being the poster boy for wrestlers acting like morons in the first few years of his career. He was doing things like standing up for Umaga using green in his gear (DX threw a fit) and being the fall guy for Nick Dinsmore going full Kieth Moon while in London, but everyone still saw him as the kid putting lotion in handbags.

Eventually he just decided to crush it himself and when he returned it had been fixed. my favorite "Bagwell in WWE" story is the rib DDP and Show pulled on him. they bought a limo to take them to a show and when they got there they told Buff that Vince got it for them. Buff was pretty upset he wasn't also given one and immediately went and complained to Vince about it. |

I'd sure love to know why Bradshaw thought that was a good idea Can think of a couple reasons, one 80 and the other 100 proof. |

Malaysian Slaves and MVP with a screwdriver becoming a locker room hero are my 2 favourite obvious bollocks. Malaysian Slaves is the correct answer. I want to say the Newz article just casually mentioned this allegation against Christian like it was not even that important. |
