Count me in. I read that and I was like "oh snap!"

I feel so low for laughing at that.

1. Didn't Jim Duggan go apeshit for Jesus too? I thought he was in the "Ultimate Satan-Punching Wrestling Alliance" or whatever it is with Million Dollar Man.

2. Also, Nikita Koloff should be on the always-on-coke-and-went-apeshit-for-Jesus list. Or maybe a list of guys who were "dicks always on coke and then went apeshit for Jesus because their wife died".

3. Jeff Jarrett's simple, plain dickness overwhelms any other mitigating dickfactors, but I'm pretty sure he was on coke a good deal in the '80s.

4. I have to believe Ricky Steamboat sucked someone off to get pushed back in the day.

5. Other possible lists:

- Guys Who Parlayed Shitty NFL Careers Into Slightly Less Shitty Wrestling Careers

- Guys Who Parlayed Shitty Wrestling Careers Into Slightly More Shitty Careers as Political Pundits/Hacks/Candidates

- Guys Who Parlayed Freakish Physical Defects into Successful Gimmicks (Andre the Giant, Dusty Rhodes, any midget wrestler)

- Guys Who Were Dicks Always On Heroin and/or Methamphetamine (Raven, Christopher Daniels, Christian Cage, the Edge, etc.)

You know Zach Gowen has a LiveJournal, right?

It's the most entertaining blog by a one-legged wrestler of the year.

hahahahahaha @ satan-punching

Hacksaw Jim Duggan and possibly Rick Rude were part of that, too. Then Rick Rude died.

this is probably the only entry i have enjoyed/will enjoy under the wrestling tag. i LOLed and i don't even know most of these people.

My favorite is Koko B. Ware under "Guys Who Were Dicks Always On Coke And Then Started Going Apeshit for Jesus" because, really, I made that one up.

hahaha...yes i'm sure it would have been funnier if i got all the jokes.

I don't understand any of this...but it sounds like a soap opera!

How dare you blaspheme Koko B. Ware!

So what about Guys Who Were Dicks And Tried To Be Dicks In Other Forms Of Media?

Randy Savage
Roddy Piper

Hold on wait hold up there slow down cowboy.

GENE SNITSKY HAS A WEBSITE?

That was a thing of beauty! I don't know what I loved the most, it was all so beautiful. Though Slaughter's jaw did make me laugh out loud, luckily none of my co-workers noticed. :)
I also loved the Shawn digs, because from the moment he went all Jesus-Freak I realized how annoying he'd always been. >,<  

Was Droz the one who fell off the Titantron and broke his neck? Or am I thinking of someone else? Because then that would justify my giggling at Ko's comment of "Oh snap!"

During a taping of Smackdown back in 1999 or 2000, D'Lo Brown attempted a running powerbomb on Droz and dropped him on his head. He's been paralyzed from the neck down ever since. Both of those guys were two of my favorites, too, as I have absolutely the worst taste in wrestlers.

Right, now that rings a bell. Was Droz the guy who kept puking? It's been so long since I've paid attention to wrestling that I forget most things that happened!
I always liked D Lo, though.

D'Lo and Droz were your favorites?!

The guy who fell off the Titantron was Road Warrior Hawk, as part of a storyline where he was upset that Droz was taking his place in the Road Warriors and wanted to kill himself. I was there live for that, and from where I sat it was easy to see that he just jumped onto a platform right behind the top of the tron and pushed a dummy down the rest of the way.

Oh yeah! Now I remember that. That was pretty lame. That was around the time I was getting bored with wrestling, which is probably why it was foggy in my mind. Thanks. :)

I laughed well at both the Droz comment and Slaughter's jaw.

Warrior is in the wrong category. He should be in either the Jeff Jarrett one or the "Guys Who Were Dicks But Actually Gave Head To Get Pushed," depending on whether or not you want to believe the rumor involving Pat Patterson.
