10 Unusual Demands Made By Wrestlers
7. John Laurinaitis Is Back To His Old Tricks
His old, incredibly weird tricks.
As developmental head honcho throughout much of the 2000s, Laurinaitis, in addition generally scorching the company's future, had a particular demand that was non-negotiable. You were simply unable to have long hair. Sorry. It's a short back and sides for you.
Laurinaitis ordered every developmental prospect to cut their locks. This absolute birdbrain wanted every last one of his prospects to look the same. This wasn't some kind of black trunks n' boots Young Lions deal, where the NJPW Dojo prospects must force themselves to stand out; Laurinaitis just didn't want to look at people with long hair. Was he haunted by his humiliating days as a Dynamic Dude? Was the opposite true? Did he not want any young stud to look as dynamic as he did, once upon a time? Or did Triple H say "Only I may have long hair" before spitting from his water bottle and doing a troll yell?
Get this: time is a flat circle, about as flat as he likes that barnet, and Laurinaitis is doing it again. Recent NXT 2.0 recruit Javier Bernal was recently asked to shed his locks.
Bernal's prior occupation?
He was a hair model.
Jesus Christ.
What next?
Asking Ricochet to tone down his high-flying?
