After what the Warrior said about Chinese culture, I wouldn't put it pass him to be a bigot. And yes, I did see that infamous 2 hour seminar at UCONN (?) where the Warrior said "queers don't make the world go round". I also remember that the entire audience (especially the students) wanted to kick his ass! lol

But let not take Vince off the hook so easily. Remember, THIS man has a history of lying and making broken promises to people (Bert Hart, 1997 in Montreal, anyone?) every now and then. Warrior has always been a slew but strong-minded business man, and Vince was not used to being challenge like that, hence why he fired the Warrior the first time.

I know about Vince's history. The man who broke his promises to all the territory promoters who were his father's longtime friends and associates and put them out of business, pretty much did character assination on those in WCW and ECW (if you watch the Rise and Fall of WCW, you'll see what I'm talking about), firing people simply because top guys were threatened by them or set them up (that's how the Rockers got fired in '87 before he rehired them), screwed the ENTIRE Hart family, puts his wrestlers under grueling schedules and encouraged them to take steroids....it's shocking no one hasn't done a tell all book about him yet

Warrior is probably a better business man than he is wrestler lol The guy became a superstar simply on appearance alone lol

I think all of this affected his wife's political campaign, not sure.

I don't know how true this is, but I heard that wrestler Chyna left the WWE because she was seeing Triple H, but then he and Stephanie started seeing each other. I am not sure if they got married. But then Chyna had a serious neck injury, so that could be it, too shrug

Stephaine and Triple H been married for a while they have two kids I believe and yeah I do remember Chyna and Triple H dating. Chyna didn't leave on good terms I think , she was really popular in the early 00's with the playboy and Eddie Latino Heat lol

Ok, so then it's true. I don't know what it is, but those Playboy spreads seem to make these female wrestlers careers fizzle. Look what happened to Sable. Remember her?

Vince is definitely the cause of a lot of the problems in the WWF/WWE.

Of course it did. And I just about certain that none of the wrestlers in WWE, TNA, or ROH would have voted for Linda neither. lol

You know the main reason why Linda didn't win the Senate seat can be said in TWO WORDS:

Owen Hart

This tragic death were more than enough to convince some voters that Linda (like her husband Vince) isn't responsible enough to be a U.S. Senator.

I heard her interview on Howard Stern and I just listened to an interview from around 2005 that Triple H did on the Opie and Andrew show when her sex tape came out and he gave his side of the story

It was Lance Cade's death. She didn't acknowledge the man, saying "I may have him in the past" and that pissed people off

2 other reasons was of course Chris Benoit AND fans caught on REALLY QUICK with that "Stand Up For WWE" campaign bull

I agree on all of those accounts. But Owen's death was THE worst (IMO) because it happen on PPV under Vince's watch.

THIS^ is the first and only WWF/WWE event that will never be release on DVD & Blu-Ray. It also does't help that The Undertaker was on the poster.

Just saying.

I don't think I did but I think my cousin said he did but didn't know what was going on and it was only until the next day that he found out that Owen had died that night.

I used to watch "wrestling" religiously when I was a youngster.

When WCW hit like gangbusters, I completely turned my back on WWF. Couldn't stand the cheesy soap opera crap, and a 10-minute monologue before a 2-minute match.

Then Vince turned to soft porn to gain viewership, and it worked. Now he's the main game in town again.

Sucks to see so many former great wrestlers struggling to survive (anyone seen Lex Luger lately?).

I don't mind that my kids aren't into it.

A few years ago, there was a edited version of the footage posted on YouTube. But I've never seen the unedited version at all.

It was strange that he didn’t die wrestling related (drugs etc) He died from a stunt smh.

As I saw it, the WWF was never far from soft-porn from the very start, lol. Never knew, before I started watching WWF, that there were so many "creative" ways to pin a guy to the mat, lol.

He had a really bad stroke back in 2007 I believe and he was nearly paralyzed for some time

He blamed himself for Miss Elizabeth's death too. He's had it rough for the past couple of years sad
