To change the subject a little, One of the biggest mistakes wrestling companies make is when the Booker is also wrestling. Even worse, when he is also the promoter.
Tikus Well, when Vince Russo jumped ship from WWE to WCW he kinda ran into somewhat the same thing. While he wasn't the booker, but the head writer, he wrote himself into a wrestling role, and it had disasterous results. For instance I heard somewhere, forget now just where, but Russo would be on tv, after he was off camera he would run into the back and call his family and friends asking them if they saw him or not. That is a recipe for disaster because he was putting himself over good tv and the furtherance of storylines. That's just something I heard though, don't know how factual it is. ~Chris <img src="/images/graemlins/king.gif" alt="" />

Don't know TGO, but sounds pretty believable.

Ok, by way of Tikus, coming from TGO, I would like to know the story of the very first time you met Eddie Guerrero? How soon did you guys get very close? Also, how well do you know Chris Benoit, and the first time you met him. Any special memories or personal anecdotes you could share? Eddie had a sense of humor. Did he play any practical jokes on you? Or did you help either of them fascilitate any ribs?

LOL. Eddie sure did play a joke on me but I can't really say what it was here. Only some people from chat know when I spilled the beans about his particular "talent" that I learned about when lured into the locker room.
But he was never malicious or anything. He was lots of fun when he wasn't mad. He definitely had a HOT temper (not at me, thankfully) and people stayed far away when he was ticked off.
When he wasn't, he was a sweetheart.
Tikus, how I got into wrestling is in my bio or in a column on the BellaOnline site. It is sort of crazy and really pure;y accidental. I never had any aspirations of wrting for a wrestling magazine. I was a published writer long before wrestling came along.
I will repeat it all here if you want but it is covered on the website.
I just happened to run into the publisher and things got crazy and then I was hired for a bit job ($75 a month). Next thing I knew, I was bumped to Associate Editor. Then Executive Editor.
What a great ride and I thank my publisher, Colin Bowman, for having faith that a woman could be at the helm of an official wrestling magazine and not turn it into a drool fest.
Though I did convince him to allow me to write "On the Fringe", my monthly women's column where I talked about who was hot and who was not.
That column gave me more trouble than anything else I wrote or did in WCW. Those guys got ticked when they were in the cold category. Even lukewarm guys were mad. Sheesh, it was all in fun and fan based. Except I threw in a few of my faves now and then.
Ahhh the good ole days. <img src="/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />

I have to ask about a little incident that Seven mentioned in another thread, with Konnan...I figure since it's already been mentioned...
Little umbrellas get the party started right!

Well, I don't even TRULY remember it all. It had to do with a chat, a little head butting, and me slapping the attitude outta K-Dogg. Haha. Actually 7 probably remembers it better than I do. I am such a b*tch that it is second nature to slap down an attitude in my chat no matter who cops one.

Only some people from chat know when I spilled the beans about his particular "talent" that I learned about when lured into the locker room. Well, I have heard from a few places of this unique "Talent" Eddie displayed, but No one has ever given the particulars of it. I suppose if I dug around and asked the right people I could find out, but I somehow think I might not WANT to know, lol. Besides, a little air of mystery never hurt anyone. ~Chris <img src="/images/graemlins/king.gif" alt="" />
