[@twomorningsbackfromyesterd1240]

​@justafan5598 I agree, there is a difference between a 'rib' or prank, and acts of just mean spiritedness. Costing someone their money or starting something between folks for no reason, isn't that funny.

[@brettreuter2394]

I was an indie wrestler from Green Bay. This was the 1st time they sent me to WWF tv taping. I remember all the indie guys freaking out because this was also the 1st taping for the Steiners & Sid. One guy facing the Steiners had his shoulder separated. Scott had him up like a fireman’s carry from the 2nd rope. The guy wouldn’t let go of the ropes to take the move. Rick comes punches the guy in the face full force so he lets go then Scott dumps him so all of both their weight is taken by shoulder. Everyone watching on the monitor knew it was gone as soon as it happened. Anyway this was all at the time WWF was getting accused of molesting young boys. I’m walking through the back of the Brown County Arena when I get to the hallway that leads to Vince’s makeshift office. At the end of this hallway where i stood is a pay phone, yes cell phones didn’t exist yet. Nailz is kind of messing around with the phone & sees me. He goes hey kid, did you get paid yet? I go no. He says well right down there is Vince’s office. Walk down there kick the door open & say I’m here for my money. I just smirk & say after you. With that Nailz goes into the office & I hear all the yelling & banging. Now I haven’t been 👂 by this in these stories.. When Kevin comes back down that hallway he grabs the phone & calls 911. I hear him say my name is Kevin Kelly. I’m at the Brown County Arena for WWF Wrestling & I’ve just been sexaually assaulted by Vince McMahon. Please get here I hear them can coming. I have to go. Well because of cops there for security they can hear stuff of the radios the cops have & they get a Vince out of the building. The next night was more tv tapings in Madison WI. We pull up cops all over looking for Vince. He’s long gone as he went back to Connecticut instead of going to Madison. It was a crazy weekend.

[@sandyunderpants4376]

Sags looks healthier and more together than I've ever seen him before. Great work, and really good interview. I always wondered what Kevin Kelley thought about after doing this? Like do you have immense regret? He was in the biggest wrestling promotion in the world, from total obscurity and in a few months working a program with the Undertaker on the cover of WWF magazine and threw it all away because he wanted more money from a match with the big banana man? It's just so idiotic like Arn quitting WWF because they didn't pay him on time, even though he was making 5 times more than he did with WCW. I guess some people aren't good with math or thinking long term, or both.

[@markoutwithmark]

If Nailz had done that to Tony Kahn 10:06 , Tony would’ve cried, curled up in the fetal position, and probably died.

[@ButWhatIfItIs]

The only thing 'nasty' about Sags is the namesake. Looks like he's had some youth and vitality serum or something. Love to see it.

[@Taylormademan900]

I've got a photo and autograph from the Nasty Boys a couple years ago. Jerry and Brian were awesome to meet but Jerry is an intimidating person. He can still kick your ass. I understand why Eric Bischoff said Saggs is a legitimate tough guy when he mentioned Saggs beating up Scott Hall.

[@Richie3Jack]

@@twomorningsbackfromyesterd1240 Owen's ribs seemed to be more fun and playful in nature. The wrestler might get embarrassed that they're the punchline to the joke, but nothing that crosses a line that any reasonable human being couldn't brush it off. Hennig was like Ryan O'Reilly in Oz. Pitting people against each other and somebody getting seriously hurt or losing a lot of money at the end of his ribs while he goes off scott free.
