[QUOTE="Villano, post: 345706, member: 505"] [B] Ah, good ole Kevin Nash. Since signing on with WWE for $700,000 a year he's only wrestled in 2 televised matches. Well, he actually wrestled in 4, but I don't count the other 2 because he injured himself in them. In the first one, he tore his bicep while [B]kicking[/B] someone (a pretty amazing feat if you ask me). When he came back from that (I think it was 6 months later), he was in the ring only 17 seconds before tearing his quad (that's a leg muscle) while [B]walking[/B] across the ring. It's expected he'll be out 8 months at least. $700,000 for less than 1 hours work in a year. :rolleyes: And let's not forget Sid, who jumps off the 2nd rope and shatters his leg. See, kids, this is what steroids do to you. You literally fall apart before you hit 50. As for legit wrestlers in the WWE, Angle claims that he actually beat Lesnar in a "friendly" match backstage (or on the road). He also claims that he beat Big Show, who, while not a great, or even good, wrestler, is supposedly one of the strongest guys in the business. Dean Malenko is also a guy with a lot of technical knowledge. He's one of my absolute favorites. I don't think he ever faced Angle in a match (I've never seen one, at least). That's a shame because it would have been a great match. The stuff he did with Benoit, Guererro, and Jericho in WCW and ECW was amazing. Regal and Fit Finlay are both considered to be some of the toughest guys around. Meng (aka Haku) is a just plain scary guy. He bit a guy's ear or nose off in a barfight. He may not possess a lot of skill, but it's hard to wrestle a guy who's trying to bite your finger off. :eek: And, speaking of Regal, I liked him in WCW, and I loved his WWE role, but ever since I earned why he was canned from WCW, I can't look at him the same. It seems that he's one of those wrestlers who don't handle plane travel well. On one flight, he got really loaded and when the stewardess refused to give him any more drinks, he knocked her down and, um, urinated on her. Yuck! I'm surprised he even got hired by WWE after that.[/b] [/QUOTE]
