Loved wrestling growing up but these episodes remind me that save for a few most wrestlers and everybody else involved are pieces of shite



You are correct. There are very, VERY few "good" guys in the business. I've worked in the business in various aspects, and some of the guys that fans would think are so nice and genuine are some of the biggest pieces of shite.

Got to give some details there. I figured most of the folks today were less carny and more subdued than their counterparts from the 70's, 80's and 90's.

Back in the 70s and 80s wrestlers partied like rock stars. There's plenty of great stories from that era about drug and alcohol abuse, bar fights, ring rats, etc. Nowadays most wrestlers are happy to stay home, work out, and play video games. There's still a few guys like Randy Orton that get into trouble but its a different environment. Better in some ways, worse in others.
