"This is not part of tonight's entertainment" ........As mentioned in the comments things get mighty real when you hear this in a broadcast.

Thankfully there was good news at the end of the broadcast......

Regardless of his pre-qualifiers, with WWE you never know whether it is real or not.

Not sure if it is in the top 3 party hospitals but that Montreal hospital in the Canadian system came through for the King.

WCW 1990 had an amazing tag team scene. This was Doom's elevation to credibility, as they go toe to toe with the Steiners in a great power team match-up.

I got no video to post but when Bret Hart reformed the Hart Foundation in the late 90’s and took on America. That was the best few months for me. Followed by the attitude era.
I was living in the US at the time. It was great.

The Steiner brothers were a little crazy but Ron Simmons would eat them for lunch in real life.

I've heard shoot interviews where he wasn't a regular in the gym but could bench press 600LB's on any given day. Usually I don't put much merit in what I can't see but these claims come from several sources so they're probably true.

Simmons was a standout at Florida State and is remembered as being a legend on the field. He did play for one year for the Ottawa Rough Riders in the early 80's. The man was just an outstanding athlete with explosive power.

All accounts I've heard are that the Steiners were just huge assholes. That no one in their right mind fucked with Ron Simmons is also one of those things I've heard more than once.

Strap matches usually suck, but in the early 90s, Sting v Vader had such good chemistry they could make it work.

When Chris Jericho entered the WWF it was a big deal...they even had him upstage "The Rock" to put him over...
