Simmons didn't write that.

A damn good article though and shines a completely different light on his non-ring persona.

how did he get all of these loans?


many of them were personal loans from friends, business partners or small businesses who knew him. I guess some of those folks thought they could trust him, or liked being associated with a famous person like Fliehr.

I haven't had a chance to read the article yet, but I read his book.

He's been broke his whole career. He was underpaid for a lot of his career and he lived his gimmick. What ever he made, he spent.... And what he didn't spend he invested very poorly, his ex wives, and children took.

Naitch can still go out and there and tear the house down. He should die in the ring, just like Randy the Ram.

I'd love to see Tracy Wolfson interviewing Saban at the half and during the interview Saban turns to the crowd and says "Shut up fatboy or I'll take your mother home and make a woman out of her." Whoo!

On a related note. A friend of mine's sister worked at a hotel in Greenville SC in the early 90's.... She rode Space Mountain.
