[quote author=MentalTossFlycoon link=board=general;num=1048573126;start=0#2 date=03/25/03 at 00:00:22]I went to High School with Dave Schultz<br><br><br>He was a
real wrestler. He won multiple Olympic gold medals. He repeatedly challenged
ANY "professional" wrestler to take him on. Noone ever dared. He would have twisted any one of them into a fucking pretzel.
- Hulk Hogan? Pretzel
- The Rock? Pretzel
- All those other WWF weenies? A bag of pretzels
<br><br>Dave is no longer with us. He was murdered in 1996 by a member of the du Pont family.[/quote]<br><br>There's a good account of this tragedy in Kurt Angle's otherwise fairly boring autobiography 'It's True, It's True'. Writing skills aside, for my money Angle is the best all rounder in pro-wrestling today - not least because he's never afraid to look stupid for the sake of the company - his sketches with Vinnie Mac and 'Stone Cold' over the past couple of years have been priceless! Some other 'names' could learn a thing or two from his attitude (just in case the Undertaker's reading this - yes I mean you, "Dead Man".) My all time favourite wrassler has to be - it's he, it's he, it's D.D.P. Diamond Dallas Page, now sadly retired from the ring but now persuing a career in Hollywood with his usual incredible optimism.<br><br>And for anyone who thinks this is a stupid thread, beneath the intellect of Zappa forum members, I respectfully ask that you track down and read this book before jumping to any more conclusions <br>
