Bruce Prichard revealed on the Something to Wrestle With podcast that Shawn Michaels had
campaigned to backstage officials to get Vader removed from any future plans with him because
of a series of miscommunications and botches that happened during their match at SummerSlam 1996.
This in turn did have an effect on Vader as Prichard revealed that the original WWE
plans were to have Vader win the WWF championship in a rematch at Survivor Series 1996 before
losing it back to Michaels at the 1997 Royal Rumble but this never happened as Sycho Sid
was used for the role instead.
It’s no secret that Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels had an intense dislike for each other…
Heading into their infamous Survivor Series match in 1997, Bret Hart revealed to Vince
McMahon that he was unwilling to drop the WWF championship to Michaels as he knew Michaels
would not have done the same if he was in his shoes.
As Vince McMahon did not want Bret Hart leaving the company as the champion,
this in turn led to the Montreal Screwjob which saw Vince McMahon double cross Hart
by screwing him out of the championship without Hart knowing.
CM Punk has never been one to shy away from his true feelings about something or someone…
Just take his comments towards Ryback as an example.
Punk went on record to say that Ryback
aka “the steroid guy”
took 20 years off his career because of his dangerous botches.
Ryback didn’t gain the nickname “Rybotch” for nothing…
CM Punk even went on to say
that he told Vince McMahon that he did not want to work with Ryback because of Ryback’s
history with hurting people but eventually agreed as a favour to Vince McMahon. A favour
which ended up with Ryback tilting CM Punk’s pelvis from a botched gorilla press slam…
If there’s one thing a WWE wrestler should know about Randy Orton, it’s not to get
on his bad side…
and maybe don’t shake his hand…
Former WWE superstar Mr Kennedy
is evidence of this as back in 2009, he was released just four days after returning from
a 10-month shoulder injury because of an incident which involved the Apex Predator.
Mr Kennedy told ESPN that the incident which saw him supposedly drop Orton on his head was the
final straw for him getting fired. He recalled Orton complaining to backstage officials soon
after the botched backdrop move and even persuaded John Cena to complain to Vince McMahon about
Mr Kennedy being a dangerous worker.
Earlier this year, Paige hosted a live Zoom call with some of her friends on her Twitch
channel. In this call, Nia Jax revealed that she complained to WWE higher-ups about a certain
wrestler continuously hurting her best friend Alexa Bliss by throwing her around like a
ragdoll every night. Two months after she made those comments, Nia Jax revealed in an
interview with talkSPORT that the wrestler in question was in fact Ronda Rousey… I
get that she may have been trying to stick up for her best friend as Bliss did go on
to reveal that she suffered two separate concussions while wrestling Ronda Rousey but Nia Jax out
of all people complaining to management about a wrestler hurting someone when she has a
history of injuring countless wrestlers is nothing more than ironic if you ask me…
