    I always heard that Vince Russo kept the Intercontinental Title on Jeff Jarrett, knowing his contract was coming up and he was going to WCW. So they could get money, or something else. Don't know how true it is. Considering how good of friends they were, the huge pushes Russo have him, the amount of titles Russo have him, and Jarrett giving him jobs and power. It makes sense, but I don't know how true it is.

      He used their wrestler rehab program for his alcohol problems and therefore he had to crawl back to Vince in the end. So Vince wins and Jarrett gets a HoF induction that only mentions his shitty country singer gimmick. That's why.

    The Hulk Hogan situation is complete garbage, but this is how I have always understood it to be. Hogan, as I have heard, used his creative control on the grounds that after dropping the belt to Jeff Jarrett, Russo had no other plans to used him. I can't hold it against a guy completely for wanting to keep his livelihood going. I heard that at this point, Russo told Jarrett to lie down and let Hogan cover him, meaning that that was not planned in the beginning. This, of course, led Hogan to shoot on the whole thing, and we all remember what he had to say about it. Then, boom, Russo followed up with his remarks and action. If I'm wrong about, I'm wrong, but that is the way I have understood it to have gone down.

It's very common in the business world & in many cases it's necessary to prevent other companies from scooping employees with sensitive knowledge or employees who have access to a customer base. In this case it would prevent rival WCW from stealing a portion of then WWF's fan base. It's not only fair but common and a wise business tactic.

    To me,,,, wrestling is nothing but a soap opera now a day's.. i grew up in the 80's when it was wholesome and focused more so on individual talent. I guess this stuff today is what the generation wants. Obviously its selling and i wont disrespect todays generation but i will say dam!!!!! The 80's wrestling gave and still gives me that good ole feeling of having a hero to look up to in the wrestling world. Just my 2 cents😉😉

      Fact check; pronounce Sabu correctly, and produce a video without inserting a meme of himself every 30 seconds.

    I love Simon, but I hate the way he says "Sabu."
