Vince gathering all the Hart’s into his office, the first time they’d all been together since Stu’s funeral, because he knew it would descend into an insane shitshow of arguments.

Bruce suggested Batista ought to run in on the Bret v. Vince match, only to be told “Batista is a little busy”.

Christian dumped water on a meditating laid down Kane in the lockeroom. Kane opened his eyes and threw a chair at Christian as he was fleeing the scene. When Christian came back he was greeted by Kane apologizing to him for throwing the chair.

In the same vein, when Chris Masters broke Stevie Richards nose, as soon as he got to the back, Kane told him to f***ing run.

Another great Kane story: After a ladder match, in which Christian took a big bump, Kane asked him he was alright. Christian said yeah, Kane lifts him up on a wall and tells him to NOT to that again because he was worried about his safety. Even when angry and violent, Kane is too nice of a guy.

That's the one I was gonna mention.

Oh, also, Big Show's story of how he got his name. In the backstage for one of the first times and he see's Vince walking through calling out "Hey there Big Show!"

"Who's Big Show?"

"You are!"

Vince then burst into laughter and Show could only nod his head along to it.

Back in the mid nineties, the wwf had a working relationship with the uswa in Memphis and had a talent exchange, well one week Jerry Lawler, Road Dogg and Brian Christopher went there, Jamie Dundee who worked at uswa travelled with them.

Lawler is driving, next to him is Road Dogg and in the backseat Jamie and Brian. Well Road Dogg starts drinking beer and lights a joint. Lawler gets uncomfortable and asked Dogg if he really was gonna smoke dope and drink at the same time, Road Dogg looks at him and goes,

“Yep but we ain’t gonna f*** no fourteen year olds.”

This was during the time Lawler got indicted mind you, the car remained silent the rest of the trip.

You could do a whole thread on Bruce, even off his short times with WWE.

The Harts vs The Knights at Survivor Series. Bret lays out the match as it's planned, to put the spotlight on Owen and lead to their feud. Then they notice Bruce has taken "the biggest and greenest Knight" to one side and "given him a different script the lengthy of Gone with the Wind with Bruce presumably playing Rhett Butler"

This is also how Taker found out about his name.

It was on Prichards show on the Paul Heyman episode and half remembering it, The writers had to go to Vince's holiday home for creative meetings and Stephanie one day thinking the writers need a bit of time off out of the home, gave each one (Prichard/Hayes/Lagana/Heyman/Gerwitz and others) a hundred bucks, to go to a nice restaurant, have time away....Heyman gets whingy about not being good to stay there and him and I think Lagana decides to go to the local McDonalds and pocket the rest of the cash.....(I'm missing a bit - but I couldn't stop laughing at Heymans reaction to it)
