Shawn Michaels

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Hogan, Michaels, and Bulldog are incorrect.

 

[Blade]

Flair? If he was in WWF at this time...

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

This is going to kill me.

Owen Hart?

 

[TLC]

Lex Luger?

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Jake Roberts?

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Lex Luger?

Lex Luger is correct.

Dillon made no bones about what a failure Luger was in the WWF. He also mentions how amazing it was that Luger threw him under the bus despite all the work Dillon did as Luger's mouthpeice with the Horsemen in the NWA.

 

[SavageTaker]

Bret Hart?

EDIT: Damn. Are you going to do another? Please.

Last question for tonight:

At a time when Dillon was in charge of directing wrestler promos, one particular WWF star regularly brushed Dillon off, telling him "maybe later" or "catch me tomorrow." Involved in a major program, Vince told Dillon to wait in the locker room while this wrestler showered after a show to demand he do the promo work before leaving. As a result, Dillon stayed at the arena with this talent until 2:30 AM. Who was this stubborn superstar?

 

[SavageTaker]

Luger?

 

[Scotty]

Nash?

 

[Blade]

Shawn Michaels?

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Bret Hart.

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Michaels, Nash, and Luger are incorrect.

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Hart is incorrect. Tus far, Dillon has only had positive things to say about Hart's work ethic.

 

[simpsons_fanatic742]

I'll repeat my guess of Kevin Nash.

EDIT: Didn't see the other guesses. Ramon?

 

[Scotty]

Hogan maybe?

 

[SavageTaker]

Warrior?

 

[It's...Baylariat!]

Sounds like maybe Randy Savage or Ric Flair.

 

[Blade]

Piper?

 

[SavageTaker]

Dibiase?

 

[IrishCanadian25]

Warrior?

Ultimate Warrior is correct.

No shock here, Warrior was a pain in the ass for a talent relations guy.

I'll return with more trivia in the near future. I hate the idea that eventually I will be done with this book. Best wrestling related book I've ever read, just barely overtaking Angle's. I have learned so much about the back end of the wrestling business.

I am trying to get JJ's e-mail address from the Crave guys to try to do a Q&A spot with him on the forums.

 

[simpsons_fanatic742]

Great stuff IC.

 

[SavageTaker]

Yay!

And that would be awesome IC. Hopefully they'll give it to you. Or you can go to his website and see if he has it there.
