Eddy:
Dave says that in 1996 the plan was in place to move the title from Flair to the Giant in a tag match (which happened) then Giant was to losr to Beniot via crossface tap out leading to a 3 way fued with Eddy vs Beniot vs Giant. This would be just before the NWO came about.
Paul Heyman's original plan in 1995 was to have Beniot win the ECW title and go on a long run culminating with ECW's 1st PPV in Jan 1996 headlined by Beniot vs Eddy
In 1998 in El Paso (Eddy's hometown) WCW Prez Eric B. got into an argument with Eddy and tossed coffee at him. Relations were strained for months after.
Eddy would get drunk very often and did GHB with Jericho among others.
Eddy once was drunk/angry and tried shooting on Kurt Angle in the locker room. Angle took him down and smothered him til it was broken up.
Mando and Eddy were hanging out after his NWO title win last Feb. Mando sarcastically was picking on Eddy and/or the match and Eddy was so pissed he didn't speak to Mando for a year.
Eddy was in such poor condition that he was told by a back specialist to retire in 2002, He had the back of a 70 or 80 year old.
Just weeks ago Eddy went to a doctor and the Doc was astounded Eddy was able to walk.
Eddy was using pain pills when he died, but was able to keep it under control.
Chavo was asking Eddy for help in getting out of the Kerwin White gimmick on the morning Eddy died
Eddy had been using HGH (Human Growth hormone) in an attempt to get bigger in recent months
Austin did go to Arizona for the funeral, but didn't go inside the church. He sttod outside by a hill by himself, cause "Austin doesn't do funerals"
Newz:
Jake Roberts has 7 kids and doesn't see any of them
Bret hart's still doing the Alladin play in Canada
Jim Neidhart was picked up for a DUI this week
Hogan taped a "hogan knows best" segment at Steve "The Fabulous Skinner" Kiern's wrestling school. He and Knobbs were training Nick Hogan on the sport.
The reason that WWE hasn't ran MSG lately and have no future dates is because MSG is charging a 285,000 rental fee and WWE isn't drawing enough that they can make money running there
Vince Russo and Shawn both take credit for the Sharpshooter spot at Montreal in their new books. Both lied.
Juventud is in trouble again: He wants his own talk show on SD!, Wants to feud with Rey jr and other upper carders, Wanted to have a mask vs mask match vs Rey...the agents pointed out Juvi isn't masked, Juvi thought for a moment and sais 'i'll wear one for the match. Eddy had been trying to settle Juvi down, to no avail.

Wow, that speaks volumes about the company that they can't even run shows in their home building anymore.

I thought the exact same thing when I read that.....

- Interesting stuff about Eddie.
- Russo and HBK are huge liars. What else is new?
- Jake is scum, we all know that.
- MSG, the home of the WWE, isn't being booked for shows? Come the fuck on...
- Hogan Knows Best is still on the air?

It got renewed for a second season. I'm assuming that was an episode for the new upcoming season.

Really? I'm not a Hulkamaniac by any stretch, but I found that show to be hilarious.
I mean, Brian Knobbs: babysitter? CLASSIC~!

-Juvi's mask vs. mask idea has me cracking up. "But you don't wear a mask!". "ohhh..."
-Jake Roberts not seeing his kids is NEWS?
-Austin sounds like a prick for "not doing funerals".
-I doubt the 1996 Eddy/Benoit/Giant stuff is true. First, Giant did not beat Flair in a tag match. He beat him in a one-on-one match, cleanly, with the chokeslam. The previous week, the two had been in a tag match against Hogan and Savage, where Woman acidentally nailed Giant with coffee. Sounds like smark retro fantasy booking. "and..and..and then Benoit-Regal would've headlined Slamboree...and and then Owen Hart was supposed to jump and feud with Benoit and Jushin Liger for the title...."

I remember hearing stuff about this in 1996 so I'm sure there IS truth to it. But I believe that the whole plan was actually do something were the belt would end up with Benoit, Eddie, and then end up with The Giant with it again.

I don't know man, funerals can be tough. Especially if you have to go to so many

It's not like he didn't show up period. He probably has a thing about being in a room of hundreds of people crying. Some people are uncomfortable in those situations.
