The Wrestling Thread Damn Sure Doesn't Work For You!

Man, can't believe its been that long since Eddie passed. Being there at WM20 to see that close of the show moment is one of my best memories. Still have my ticket and some of the confetti I grabbed put away somewhere.

I feel better now that I'm not the only person who saves confetti from memorable events I've been to.

Nothing is better than watching Hulk Hogan "hulking up". I've been on a Hogan kick lately and watch all of his hulking up in his matches. Still the greatest wrestler of all time.

For some reason, this clip popped up in my head. Enjoy.

I miss Eddie very much,Eddie had way too many great moments and matches than to just name a few

One of the first things I remember as a wrestling fan was Eddie forming the Latino World Order.

The first PPV I talked my parents into ordering was Wrestlemania 2000, which featured the birth of "Latino Heat!"

I was ringside when he lost the title to JBL.

3MB might be becoming my favorite jobbers of this generation.

3MB might be becoming my favorite jobbers of this generation.

I have a lot of respect for them in the sense that they job, are buried and roasted by the crowd every single time, yet they still go out and do their jobs taking all the abuse on the chin. It's a contrast when you think about it in comparison to some of the higher up talent who the crowd loves, yet seem to get the hump when things don't turn out as they like or want, or get a bit of abuse or ribbing thown their way.

I still want an LWO tshirt.

 

[venom892]

I had a LWO shirt. It was a birthday gift when I was a kid. I miss Eddie as well. He probably could have slide back and forth between the upper mid card and main event for years same as Jericho has done.

Yeah dude. Also got some from when HBK won the first Chamber match.

- WWE quietly updated its Wellness Policy back on July 23rd. Several things were added, including the following:

* WWE talent can request a Therapeutic Use Exception for a prohibited drug if there is a legitimate medical purpose with a valid prescription from a licensed and treating physician. The use of the drug must be required for more than sixty straight days and the dosage must be "documented in accordance with standards and practices commonly accepted within the United States medical community." The TUE will be in effect for no more than a calendar year.

* Any WWE talent who is arrested, convicted or who admits to a violation of law in relation to the use, possession, purchase, sale or distribution of drugs will be in breach of contract and subject to immediate dismissal.

* A "positive test for alcohol" will result in a $2,500 fine per positive test, taken from the talent's downside guarantee.

* A talent who has two violations of the Wellness Policy may enter a "Redemption Program" if the Medical Director approves it. The program is an eighteen month treatment process overseen by the Medicalk Director or an addiction specialist recommended by the Medical Director. Mandatory follow-up testing is required and no further violations during the program are allowed. After this time, talent can request to have a violation removed.

* The following provision was added in relation to substance abuse:

"Pain medications, and other substances prohibited by this Policy, may be abused at times and can become addictive. A WWE Talent who believes he/she may have a problem with substance abuse is encouraged to self-report and request assistance. No penalties are imposed on WWE Talent for voluntarily acknowledging a problem to the Medical Director prior to a drug test being performed herein and WWE will assist in securing rehabilitation services in such situations. The rehabilitation process can be engaged by a WWE Talent notifying the Medical Director, the PA, WWE Ringside Physicians or the WWE Wellness Coordinator that he/she has a problem and needs assistance."

Did Jack Swagger get busted for weed before or after July 23rd?

 

[Hunter Rider]

Trying to narrow down memories of Eddie is difficult, so many swirling around in my head, so many great matches and moments. One of my favourites is actually his feud with Chavo in WCW in 1998 with Pepe.

Yeah,thanx homie

Before, it was around Mania time.

So talent can't drink at all? I understand ramifications for drunk driving or at a company event or definitely before a show, but not at all? So much for the prospect of a Stone Cold return.

Question:
