Guys like the Nasty Boys, especially Knobbs, are perfect examples of everything that was awesome about 90s wrestling because all of them were trained by old school guys like Killer Kowalski who would spend a month just beating down on them to weed the jabronis out before they actually started training them.

Back then, it was such a fringe industry that anyone who decided to pursue it was a weirdo, and then anyone who actually broke in to the big promotions were borderline psychos. Knobbs is a big fat obnoxious slob who got away with murder because he has charisma and was boys with Hogan. His success had nothing to do with his actual in ring performance.

I can’t even imagine what the locker rooms were like in 1997 WCW / WWF. Disco Inferno said he showed up to his first day at WCW and Paul Orndorff was kicking the shit out of Big Van Vader.

Xpac said that Ric Steiner pulled a .45 out of his bag and shot a blank into his chest at point blank range one time. Jim Cornette took a baseball bat to some office guys car in a fit of rage. Edge said that JBL walked in on him in the shower and started lathering up his ass cheeks after his first match in WWF to intimidate / test him.

That was the type of shit that would happen when Knobbs was around. How do you go from working at a place where you don’t get fired for shit like that to 2007 corporate WWE? He probably didn’t even know he was doing anything wrong because fucking with the young guys was just what the old school guys did LOL.
I think Roddy Piper was in the Mid-Atlantic region/promo when he got stabbed by a fan. The police grabbed the fan and brought him back to the locker room where a few wrestlers proceeded to beat the shit out of him while the cops looked on. It was just a different time.

There’s some crazy story can’t remember who it was but it involved WCW guys drunk and fighting in a hotel and someone hit someone else over the head with one of those old and hard as shit rotary phones. They really acted like retarded rock stars back then but worse since they were on juice as well as coke, pills, booze, and who knows what else.
Nasty Boys vs Ken Shamrock.

Sid and Arn got into an argument, and Sid being the hot head he was decided to go fight Arn after he let it bother him enough, and he ripped a leg off a chair to beat Arn with. Arn came out of his room with a pair of scissors and stabbed Sid, but Sid got them from Arn and then stabbed and cut Arn all to pieces. Then some people broke it up, that's what happened.

Jake Roberts also said he was stabbed leaving the ring in one of those regions. We all know it’s scripted / fake but there was a time they had to act like it was real and people believed it. There’s tons of bar fight stories from these guys since so many drunks would see a wrestler at a bar and say “I could kick your ass” and go at them.

I only know who he is cause his son Frank was on Big Brother. I didn't care for him on season 14 but he was great on 18, public perception have them reversed though. On 18, he'd slap the asses of the women in the house and I still quote "titties sitting right" to this day, he made Da'vonne, one of the black chicks on the cast cry. He was also a big troll, he had a really funny story about being the OJ Simpson of his home town but that was only on the livefeeds and never made it to an episode. Here's some of it that made it to the episodes.

Was it you who used to have the in depth reality show discussions with Bam on reddit?

Watch any of the Back to The Territories with Cornette, they're on the channel with that guy who does the Kevin Nash podcast. That guy's probably the most level-headed dude in the whole industry with his Kayfabe Commentary company. Short of Corny (in doses), and Eric Bischoff, he's the one guy I can stand. And as always, fuck Conrad Thompson.

The best Territories ones are with Terry Funk, and of all people, Bruce Pritchard.

Cornette's politics are beyond gay, but he's entertaining and really knows his shit. His wrestling knowledge autism is unparalleled- the only one who is even close would be Dave Meltzer, but he's kind of a bore.

Meltzer is autistic. I will physically fight anyone who disagrees, motherfucker is too awkward socially not to be.

But that gives him the super power of expansive knowledge that makes his obituaries the most complete and informative whenever a wrestler dies - despite being littered with grammar and spelling errors (again, Autistic - look at his fucking office!)

Besides that though, he's the biggest bullshitter and idiot in the industry this side of Disco Inferno. His sources are all biased, he talks out of both sides of his mouth, and he's not a journalist - he doesn't vet sources and info to truly be one, he's a talking head. And DON'T get me started on those pathetic Star ratings.

He's also worse than Jim Norton on the mic, if that's even possible.
