He said that looking back he probably should have put in the time like he was told to and if he did he probably would have been a bigger star in the company. But that's the problem with hindsight, you only get it after the fact.

The wrist and finger wrapping was explained by stone cold on his podcast. He stated at times you are so sweaty and your opponent as well. You barely have grip with your hands. So the tape or wrap helps have proper grip. So when you do a move or spot. You dont loose grip or slip. Also he stated it does help you joints and with certain moves or landings it helps a lot too. Plus the grip issue applies to the mat and ropes too
@Speedyreedy1218

Every wrestler has a different motive for it. In HHH'S documentary, it had multiple purposes. 1. *Injury prevention.* He said he's broken his wrist (and fingers) a few times, so he always liked to tape his right wrist and hand, especially since that's his dominant one. Same for his knuckles. 2. *Aesthetics.* He said as he was becoming The Game, this jacked badass, his look was part of the gimmick. Taping all knuckles, his left wrist and dominant hand contributed to his ability/perception to be a killer, a destroyer, a fighter. 3. *Homage.* The last reason he said was to pay tribute to the old school wrestlers who would tape up.

I originally speculated it was to help stabilize the wrist for all the moves they have to do. But having something to help reliably grip on an opponent makes much more sense.

Sullivan v Benoit at Bash and the Beach 97 in their career match is still one of my all time favorite matches. That was like a week before my 10th birthday and that night we had already ordered the ppv, but before it started that night we had church. At the end of the sermon before prayer we always had the opportunity to add whatever we wanted to the prayer. I remember praying along with and in front of probably around 200 people that Benoit would win that night. I was not let down 😅. RIP Kevin

I haven't been a fan of WWE for years, not since I was a kid in 2006 when I started to like WWE. I was a baby when Maven started in WWE and by the time I got interested in it he had left. Never saw a single match of his. But I just happened to come across his channel one day and watch a video randomly. I'm not slightly back into WWE because of him. I find his channel just so good and interesting and he's a fantastic presenter. Honestly, if you read this Maven want to thank you for what your doing, saying and how you're saying it.

The "why does anyone care about title reign records" question is like asking "why would anyone care if The Avengers save the world? The movie is fake anyway". They're simulating a sport, becoming the champion is the goal of any serious competitor. If WWE stopped caring about their championships, the whole product would become pointless. Just ask WCW what happens when you decide the World Championship is just a prop

Tbf, it's a kinda reasonable question... You are absolutely correct in your logic, but see it from other perspective. Like The Undertaker is a 4 time WWE champion, so what?? No one cares about that. His streak and him being an absolute legit badass and fascinatingly entertaining figure is what made him immortal than many others. I think, the question is in more in that vein. Kurt Angle never mentions that he has been a 14 time World champion in pro wrestling, but that he is a WWE "Superstar", when promoting himself.

30:07 I met HBK and his wife a few years ago and I asked him if people at home call him Shawn or Michael. He said "It's Shawn. People even at home call me Shawn." My brother and I met Kane at an airport and I dared him to call Kane by Glen. He said no and then dared me. I didn't do it either. It was "Kane, can my idiot brother ( his nickname from me) have your autograph?" He was a nice guy.

I saw HBK at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn't want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, "Oh, like you're doing now?" I was taken aback, and all I could say was "Huh?" but he kept cutting me off and going "huh? huh? huh?" and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like "Sir, you need to pay for those first." At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually "to prevent any electrical infetterence," and then turned around and winked at me. I don't even think that's a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Cornette talking about the "OVW 5" is really interesting. He knew Cena would be huge but thought Batista wouldn't make it, he said Lesnar was lazy, and Shelton Benjamin was his favorite, I think he said Orton would be great, if he worked a bit harder.

Shelton was probably the most athletically gifted out of all of them, but a personality of a sponge, that's why he wasn't going to work. He also wasn't one of the biggest guys, and Vince loves him the big heroes. Batista had the look which shot him up to the top quickly, but he flamed out just as fast, so did he really make it? Lesnar might not have taken it all that seriously. The guy was in MMA and tried out for the Minnesota Vikings. I don't think he's lazy. Orton had some natural in ring talent, but apparently liked to party a lot. Now you look at him and see his bloated up face. I never really cared for Orton personally.

Hey guys, Maven here. From 2001-2005 I had the privilege of being a WWE superstar. Now, you may be asking yourself, what does that mean exactly? Well, it means that from 2001-2005 I was a professional wrestler for WWE, or WWF as it was known back then. Now, was it all sunshine and rainbows for my entire career? Of course not. Do I wish I had done certain things differently? Of course I do. Was it an experience of a lifetime? You’re damn right it was. Now, you may be wondering what I have to go through in order to keep these movie star quality eyebrows in tip top shape. To find that out, click the link in the video.

They were in the process of presenting them as a full-fledged group once Randy came back from his injury, and Jindrak was slotted in replacing Dave.

Like, if the dude is visibly lean, the more he weights, the more impressive he'll seem. If he's the Big Show... Well, anyone can see how massive he is, but it's difficult to quantify, so they round up to 500 pounds cause it sounds impressive af
