Interesting thing about the Top Dolla one: According to him, he was typically able to do that move, but that day he wasn't, and that, combined with him just feeling off in general that day, compelled him to see the doctor, where he found out he had Type 2 Diabetes and a Blood Sugar of 626. He says he almost lost both of his feet and, possibly, his life, but that botch convinced him to see a doctor.

I remember once on WCW Thunder (maybe Nitro), Jericho was supposedly locked out and he tried to pull the "locked" door open, which it did slightly only for Jericho to push his foot forward to stop it. Later on, Wrath chased him away and the cameraman was not supposed to follow around the production truck. But he did, and Jericho just casually stopped running while Wrath slowed down running past him slightly. WCW went to break but fans in the arena saw more with the two turning around casually walking back.

as a pro wrestler for the past 14 years pro wrestling is the hardest thing a human could ever do. and i dont appreciate you calling my lifes work fake. fake in this context implies no risk/injury. movies are fake, tv shows are fake. wrestling is ENTERTAINMENT. yes we know whos gonna win before we go out, big deal. if thats all you focus on about this artform youll never understand why most of the world loves to watch it. ask brock lesnar if pro wrestling is fake, why dont you watch kurt angles interview with espn in 2006 and hear what he says about pro wrestling after only 6 years in the business
