still remember him for slapping that reporter who called wrestling fake. that pr*ck got $500,000 in a lawsuit. i would take any kind of punch for a half million dollars.

[toys2cool]

That's to old school for me

"Dr. D" David Schultz ....an earlier generation of Stone Cold Steve Austin

[Mikey]

He was way nastier then Austin

Austin was play acting ... I heard this guy was an ****** in real life.

Even most wrestlers didn't like him

^^ yep, didn't he pick a fight with mr. t back staged..

Yep,
I also heard he did NOT have permission to slap the 20/20 guy.
His story is Vince told him to do it then Vince stabbed him in the back.

Vince say's there's no way he would want to make the WWF look bad doing that -- and bring on a lawsuit (which they lost) to boot.

I believe Vince, he's stupid but not that stupid

That slap pretty much destroyed any chance he had of having any longevity in the business....at the time he was being promoted with Roddy Piper as his manager if I recall so he probably could have gotten more of a push if it hadn't been for the slap to Stossel's ear.

If you want to see some cool old school 80's WWF talk ...
Check out Captain Lou, Dave Schultz and some other wrestlers on the Morton Downey Jr Show ...

For the younger crowd, Morton Show was a New Jersey show like Jerry Springer with a bad attitude

I used to love Morton Downey jr espeically when he's blow smoke at the nuts on the show. I think he predated springer but maybe it was just Jerry wasn't national yet (I saw it on ?wor? on cable one of the NY stations when we only had 10 channels)

Speaking of 80's WOR-9 TV shows, remember The Richard Bey Show ?

[jds1911a1]

OMG I have't thought of him in years.

[goldenryan]

can somebody post the link to the 20/20 reporter getting slapped?
