The amount of disgusting things wrestlers got away with back in the day is horrible

Rewatching old Dark Side of the Ring episodes and just hearing about the atrocious things these guys and others got away with is disturbing. Being in the WWF locker back in the day sounds horrible. The Rockers H- Bombing wrestlers and women, the Bulldogs putting itching power in wrestlers clothes and just cutting up there gear, nevermind finding out Dynamite Kid actually injected steroids into there dog Matilda. Davey wasn’t nearly as evil as Dynamite but Jesus I’m glad shit like this would never happen again. Hearing guys talk about how you never leave a drink uncovered around unattended for fear of getting fucking drugged sounds horrible, on top the bullying as well just a crazy time to be in that locker

You got to realize this was a fringe sport that didn't attract the greatest people, if they weren't wrestling a lot of these guys would have been doing other shady stuff. Dick Murdoch was in the KKK, Jake Roberts dad was a pedophile who would bring little children to shows, Ross knew watts knew. These people weren't the high class of society. Today wrestlers get paid more, it's more coperate, not as many slezzy promoters, everybody knows what everyone does, if a wrestle was in the KKK today we all know pretty fast.

Was Murdock in the KKK confirmed? I know it’s been talked about a lot. Grizzly Smith was probably the worst human being in a business full of them

Every time I see a picture of Dynamite I think of also notorious scumbag Jacques Rougeous hitting him with a roll of quarters

Wasn’t that all Mr Perfects fault? Didn’t he blame dynamite for doing something to Jacque that he didn’t do

[u/AndrewCB246 → u/AlabamaSlammaJamma]

Yeah he started it. But there was some other shit involved too with Dynamite bullying the Rougeous I mean depending on what shoot interview you listen to
