I pity the rucked fules, and other news
By Brady Carlson - Posted on August 3rd, 2008
Wrestling news that freaked out upon seeing Jeff Bridges throw a frisbee to Wendy Carlos music again after 20 years:
*The fake Legion of Doom explodes! Animal said Jon Heidenreich should not have taken drugs and raped Michael Cole. Heidenreich says he didn't take drugs except for morphine and that he had to rape Michael Cole because Vince and Stephanie McMahon made him do it. Then he challenges Animal to a fight. I guess we won't get a "Legion of Doom: The Heidenreich Months" DVD anytime soon.
*Cena says the "Ruck Fules" gimmick was "my Hindenberg disaster of a marketing campaign." Well, that, and The Marine, and the Chain Gang Soldiers CD, and the Word Life thing, and the Hogan-style push... eh, at least he has a sense of humor about the whole thing.
*Here's a contest that beats the stuffing out of Million Dollar Mania. Introducing the Sugar Slam! "Well, here’s the rules: Create a wrestling-themed dessert that entertains me and you win. Um, that’s all. I don’t really like rules." That's right, Natalie, Ruck Fules!
*The Honky Tonk Man almost loses a finger but the finger is OK and was able to go out drinking later that night with the Iron Sheik's ring finger and New Jack's pinkie. We have it all on a new shoot DVD.
*Memorable Acting Performances by Professional Wrestlers. But how can this not include Terry Funk in Roadhouse?
*Kevin Eck, you're killing me: "I hear there’s no truth to the rumor that [Freddie] Prinze [Jr.] wants to bring back Tito Santana and Ric Flair as a tag team called Chico and The Man."
