7 Most Insane Things Happening In Wrestling Right Now (March 17)
The one where Kevin Owens is squashed by two part timers and Daniel Bryan channels Monica Geller.
Who is the most deluded wrestling personality out there?
Bruce Prichard is a notorious fantasist, a reputation he has reinforced with the twaddle spouted on his Something To Wrestle podcast. The man takes credit for everything - the 1994 feud between Bret and Owen Hart was his idea, he'll have you know - but is widely recognised as an absolute chancer. According to Simon "Nova" Dean, Bruce once suggested Roadkill as a WrestleMania opponent for the Undertaker which, if true, speaks to his wrestling "acumen".
Buff Bagwell once claimed that fans would have rather seen him team with Sting in TNA than the "fat and out of shape" Samoa Joe, a man who "never drew a dime," as if Bagwell himself wasn't a hanger-on at best in the 1990s. Vince Russo still maintains that putting the WCW World title on David Arquette was a good idea. He is also incapable of acknowledging the many, many, many mistakes with which he torpedoed two of the most well-financed wrestling organisations on the planet.
All were made to look positively sane this week, mind, in the face of a dual deluge of absolute horesh*t...
7. Marty Jannetty Has A Moral Conundrum
Slightly behind the times here - and Messeur Marty Jannetty has deleted the post, so thank the lord for screen grabs - but earlier this month, the former Rocker entertained a future as a skin flick performer on Facebook.
Jannetty was conflicted. Accepting the three picture $150,000 deal would give him the opportunity to "tear up some beautiful b*tches", but on the other hand, his family could see it. But then, Jannetty posited, his family surely couldn't judge him, when they watched it in the first place. "What do y'all think on that?" he asked.
It's not up to us, of course, but a conspicuous photo Jannetty posted two days later all but confirmed he received an answer to his question. He posted a picture of his missus applying a headlock, captioned "Is she Hott or what?? Even if she wasnt her heart is knock out GOLD." It can be reasonably inferred that she has forgiven the man for his temptations.
Jannetty is of course accustomed to taking shots to the face, having been thrown a glass window by Shawn Michaels in the early 90s, so perhaps the pornography industry might be a good fit.
