0:00
All right, so it has come to my attention that not many people.
0:04
Get the inside jokes on this show, and when I say inside
0:09
jokes, I mean, they're not really funny.
0:12
In particular. I just been a wrestling fan for
0:16
such a long time. I just find a certain things
0:20
hilarious. Like when someone says they're
0:24
losing their smile, Nobody says that, but when someone says that
0:30
my brain goes to Shawn Michaels and it's over dramatic speech
0:35
about losing his smile. When someone says superkick
0:39
party. I immediately think I'm a kicks
0:42
because I've watched WrestleMania 9 so many times by
0:45
now, my brain is usual words coming out of your brother's
0:49
mouth. When describing a superkick, Jim
0:52
Ross, world-renowned wrestling commentator, journalist The
0:57
Legend and the wrestling business had won the many flubs
1:02
and his first night on the job at his first WrestleMania,
1:11
Moving on. When someone says step into my
1:14
office, And that office ends up being the showers, my dark and
1:21
twisted. Mind immediately wants to stop
1:25
and yell. No, don't do it.
1:29
Don't make a deal with the Devil.
1:32
Yeah, that's a reference to the Bruiser, Brody thing that turned
1:38
dark a little bit there. Okay, so not what I was going
1:43
through. We'll look when the acclaimed
1:46
are talking about scissoring, each other.
1:50
My brain immediately goes to haha.
1:53
Funny scissoring, get it straight to scissors.
1:58
Hey scissors. You know who shouldn't be
2:02
allowed near scissors. Sid Vicious.
2:09

4:27
friends. I'm Ernie.
4:29
I talk a lot mostly about wrestling.
4:31
Sometimes the now mostly the then maybe possibly until
4:37
forever, and if you're up for it, may be together.
4:45
I tried, I'm here, you're there. But most importantly, I ain't
4:51
coming to you from Other the apron and this, this is our last
4:58
episode of the year. We have made it 20:22 is in our
5:04
rearview mirror. It's time for the road to 2023.
5:10
I am pointing at the 2023 sign, just like I would, if it was
5:14
WrestleMania, don't worry, I'll soon be doing that as well.
5:21
Hey, happy New Year, right? Right.
5:23
Okay, so, for our last episode of the year, I think it's time,
5:28
we finally talked about the elephant in the room.
5:34
Okay, not maybe not the elf. No, not the elephant, the
5:38
scissors in the room. I'm looking at one right now.
5:42
The scissor, this is her in the room.
5:45
Scissors in the room, the scissor incident in the room, I
5:51
left a hint, a few hands. And maybe for what this episode
5:57
could be about. I got mostly wrong answers.
6:02
But the for hint I left on Twitter and Instagram where a
6:06
picture of Justice you know Blind Justice Justice, okay?
6:14
Never again a horse, the aw Tag Team Champions, the acclaimed
6:21
and blood splatter Now what do these have in common?
6:27
You ask what does one thing have to do with the other?
6:32
I'm glad you asked let me just tell you the Justice picture was
6:36
for wrestler Sid Justice and bigger.
6:43
If I had used the actual Sid Vicious people would have gotten
6:47
it right away. You know Sid Vicious from The
6:50
Sex Pistols. Not actual Sid.
6:53
Vicious from wrestling. Either way, either Sid Vicious
6:57
would people would have been known then the next one was a
7:02
horse, a horse, a horse yeah, horse yes, a horse man, a horse
7:12
man, a Horseman, the best one of the best Horsemen, Arn Anderson.
7:20
And by now, you probably figured out the acclaimed was a
7:23
misdirect. And at the same time, it wasn't.
7:27
What are the acclaimed known for?
7:30
What are they known for tell me? Tommy Tommy, Tommy, they're
7:32
known for scissoring. Yeah, doing this weird thing
7:37
where I'm scissoring myself, oh goodness, I'm scissoring myself.
7:43
Okay, that's can we get past this?
7:46
All right. And the last thing, of course
7:50
this the blood splatter as the final picture, it just means I'm
7:54
going to be talking about the Sid Vicious and Arn Anderson
7:58
scissor fight from almost 30 years ago.
8:03
So with that being said, trigger warning before we begin, do you
8:10
do a trigger warning? I've never done these kinds of
8:13
True Crime, type episode Besties anybody that does True Crime,
8:23
you guys do a trigger word like no, well, Mama Maria Pakistan.
8:29
I don't think she's ever done it, trigger warning.
8:32
Okay, so but either way, you know I the only one I've ever
8:38
gone of these kinds of True Crime.
8:40
Type episode was episode 31 and it was the wrestling matches
8:46
that turn into Route should fight.
8:49
I talked about energetic match in New, Japan Pro Wrestling
8:52
involving Oscar, who is known as cannot time getting in a poodle
8:58
altercation with Nori Suzuki. I eventually have a link in the
9:03
show notes on where you can watch that match it now, that's
9:07
trigger warning before you even start.
9:10
All right, so but before I start, I want to wish everyone
9:16
I'm a happy 2023, happy New Year everybody.
9:21
We made it, happy holidays to everyone out there for these
9:26
others. I thought I hinty.
9:29
So the hint, a Gala espanol, a Puerto Rico, Venezuela,
9:35
Nicaragua Mexico. Because that's the only
9:39
language. I know how to speak other than
9:42
English language that well either, but yes, but these are,
9:48
that's all I can say, gracias, por could try to make your
9:51
access port. Stop bolo, give me that man
9:54
knows that is he I'm excited? Shout out to Selena.
10:04
We love her but Yeah. Happy 23.
10:12
Whoever listening be safe out there if you're out partying and
10:17
stuff. Be cool.
10:19
And can't wait to talk to you again and the new year.
10:24
But going back to the holidays, I didn't get anything big, but I
10:30
did get two small things and I wanted to share them with you
10:34
all because it was an awesome gift.
10:37
First one, was a hungry one podcast episode template book by
10:41
David Hooper is such a book, great book.
10:46
It's such a great book to read because I finished it it done, I
10:53
could have finished it. Earlier because I was so
10:56
freaking excited to read it but I decided.
11:00
All right, let me chill for a moment because I realized I was
11:04
almost like it's the same thing that I do with Netflix and
11:08
binging shows like I'm watching don't realize that oh shoot a
11:13
deficit. So same thing with books I read
11:16
it until the last few chapters and I'm like alright pacing
11:21
pacing pacing but it's Such an exciting book it.
11:26
He's also such an exciting person.
11:29
And let me tell you the boring part about him, as he puts it in
11:34
the back of his book, He's a media marketing expert based in
11:37
Nashville, he specializes in helping individuals and
11:40
companies build audiences via broadcasting and podcasting.
11:46
Yeah, like I said, it's a fun book.
11:48
Something that I would take into consideration from him, is
11:54
making the show, my very own and having fun with it, you know,
11:57
going against the grain. If the these podcasts are doing
12:01
this thing, you go ahead and do that.
12:03
Other thing you got to read it. It's all in the book and the
12:07
other book, which I will be reading soon for those that
12:12
don't know, I'm a big fan of the challenge.
12:16
You know, real world versus Road Rules back in the day.
12:21
Now, just know that the challenge, but I guess you
12:24
already knew that by the bananas audio have inserted in some of
12:28
these Banger mattress. But the book that was given to
12:32
me for Christmas was how to win at the challenge and life.
12:36
It Champions guide to eliminating obstacles, winning
12:38
friends, and making that money by Sidney.
12:43
Fox, bam, I skimmed through the book.
12:46
Just for a taste. I look at the back and looks
12:48
like former Champions are in the book for you of my favorite.
12:52
Of course. Bananas, Ct West, Rachel
12:58
Robinson. So I'm gonna have to crack this
13:01
book when I get a chance, another reason I'm excited to
13:06
share the news that I'm still being heard worldwide.
13:13
I'll forever. Say like that, I don't care.
13:15
I'm still Will being heard worldwide if you're new here, I
13:21
kind of love to share these small accomplishments on here.
13:25
I don't care if you've been listening for a while.
13:30
You know how I feel about these moments.
13:33
I feel like we've been through a whole year if you guys listening
13:35
to me, ramble. And so I want to share with you
13:37
all who these countries are a lot of countries.
13:42
Hey, whoa. There's a lot of countries.
13:45
Let me just tell you. You.
13:47
I and they would actually take an insane person to actually
13:52
sit. There list them all insane.
13:58
Hey, maybe not insane. Insane is to of a work, I would
14:04
say kind of like a maniac maniac.
14:08
You don't Maniac. You don't think so.
14:12
All right. What if I said?
14:15
An animated maniac. You see where I'm going with
14:20
this. Okay.
14:21
More like an anime. Niak?
14:24
Yes, he where? I get it.
14:25
All right, hit it Yakko. United States, Canada, Mexico,
14:33
Panama, Haiti, Jamaica, Peru Republic, Dominican Cuba
14:37

14:40
Venezuela, Honduras, Guyana, and still Guatemala Bolivia, then
14:44
Argentina and Ecuador, Chile Brazil, Costa Rica Belize,
14:47
Nicaragua Bermuda, Bahamas. Okay, I'm just exaggerating only
14:59
40 countries. He didn't.
15:03
He didn't name some of them but you know, but they're mostly
15:09
from the Netherlands Spain. I didn't Tina and Mexico, I'll
15:16
go through them another time. But right now, let's just start
15:20
this show. Alright, so we have to go back
15:46
to October 1983 in England. That was a rather different
15:51
year. Here for rustling, especially in
15:54
world championship wrestling WCW.
15:56
At the time, the first night of the European tour for them at a
16:00
house show. Now, I wasn't a fan of docility
16:04
at the time I didn't know much about those W.
16:07
I only knew WF existed so I didn't get into W until possibly
16:13
1994 when I made friends around my neighborhood and they told me
16:17
that they were going to watch a pay-per-view.
16:19
And my first instinct was, Definitely, I didn't know any
16:24
better. But it was around that same time
16:29
that Hogan was joining and all that.
16:32
So that's probably why. So there was a card at this
16:40
house show in England and it went like so the Hollywood
16:47
blondes flying. Brian pillman and stunning Steve
16:51
Austin defeated the team of 2 cold Scorpio and Anna Xander
16:56
Bagwell who we all would know later years as buff is the stuff
17:03
Bagwell from the end of the video.
17:07
Ricky Steamboat defeated Max Payne, The Nasty Boys, defeated
17:13
Arn, Anderson and Jenny, be bad Ric Flair defeated William Regal
17:18
who held a w television championship and went by Lord
17:23
Steven Regal in a non-title match.
17:25
Duh, The road and sting defeated the tag team of Rick Rude and
17:29
Sid Vicious. And in the main event, Big Van
17:33
Vader, retain his WWE World Championship.
17:36
When he cured himself against Davey Boy, Smith also known as
17:40
The British Bulldog throughout the years.
17:45
The story has changed on who started.
17:49
You know, who was? We're at that moment?
17:52
What actually happened. So this is going to be
17:55
different. Current account from different
17:57
people reliable and it's coming from different websites.
18:02
You know, I just figured I put it into one whole thing and, you
18:06
know, get it into some of it. What actually happens.
18:10
Some of it is from that other person's point of view.
18:15
I will post the site as well as a video footage of everyone's
18:18
account. And Deputy president reaction in
18:23
all of this in the show notes. So it starts off with according
18:29
to Vader, you know, they were working nonstop for three weeks
18:34
and then they had to board a plane and work for two more
18:37
weeks in the European tour. He says they should just got off
18:44
the plane, wrestled went to bed and then skip the day, know what
18:49
I'm saying? Skip the day and stayed over
18:51
there. We're talking about.
18:53
There was beer, the food ran out and everybody was drinking by
18:58
the time we get off, 10 hours later we're talking about an AR
19:02
hour, plane ride, a two and a half hour trip fighting and a 10
19:06
hour bus ride, the guys were frazzled, and And Warren another
19:12
witness account, 2, cold Scorpio, who went on to say,
19:17
quote, we go over there. Flying to Blackburn England, we
19:21
drove three hours, good a show, just off the plane and did that
19:26
show after the show. We had a three or four-hour
19:29
drive. Maybe even five back to the
19:32
hotel where we were staying out of Blackburn.
19:35
Everyone was off the bus, taking a few pills, having a few
19:38
drinks. And quote.
19:43
Here's the situation a few people that were there.
19:48
We're sitting in various different places.
19:51
Evader was sitting with Steve Austin, having a few beers
19:55
having a few laughs, he recalls seeing a fight.
19:58
Break out between said and iron, he does nothing him and our
20:03
Austin, him and Austin are too tired and want to enjoy their
20:07
drink. So they just sit there and watch
20:10
the argument unfold. They didn't think any Nothing of
20:13
it. Of course, they're just saw it
20:14
like, oh, they're just gonna blow off steam later on.
20:16
It's all good, but according to 2, cold Scorpio who was sitting
20:21
in front of them and saw the whole thing happened, but you
20:26
also love to bring up the fact that he's not office.
20:30
But he was the one who broke the fight up.
20:33
He was the one who went to the hospital with them, he made the
20:37
report, he was one of the people who married to report and he had
20:41
to call the wives or something. Again, others of the wrestlers
20:45
to tell them what was going on and what transpired at night.
20:49
So what he remembers is he was having a few drinks with all the
20:54
boys and Arn, Anderson questing as to what was wrong with their
20:58
business. Why couldn't they draw Sid
21:03
decided to chime in with you want to know what's wrong with
21:08
our business? We have an old man and Ric Flair
21:12
who. Needs to get the fuck out of the
21:14
way. Yeah, basically saying they need
21:18
to pave the way for the younger Talent, the hungry Talent they
21:22
want to eat too. They are starving, you know, Ric
21:27
Flair Arn Anderson. They're all eating from the
21:30
buffet. These young cats want a shot at
21:33
that. Buffet also they want to, they
21:38
want to get these guys out of the way.
21:42
Yogurt. So Anderson took offense to this
21:47
because you know that's his best friend without Ric Flair Arn
21:53
Anderson with just some guy jumping from a stable stable
21:58
until Ric Flair. Came back to WWE from the we.
22:03
So he really needed his best friend back and in doing so he
22:07
stood up for him, he basically through A glass, a coke bottle,
22:17
a bottle glass at, Sid, according to 2 cold, Scorpio.
22:24
He recalled saying as soon as money was brought up and he was
22:28
getting paid more than Who and the shutter Ric Flair, the beer
22:32
bottles were flying all over the place.
22:36
Mmm. Okay, so I'm going to stop right
22:39
here because it's a good time to point out that this isn't Sid
22:45
first fight with the WWE, boys. He is toxic.
22:50
He is he is basically the problem here years prior in
23:03
October of 91 Whilst it was working for the.
23:07
We does Italy was in town and they were drinking beer at the
23:11
more Mata Plaza, Atlanta airport hotel.
23:16
So save showed up ran his mouth about how it's so much better to
23:20
work into the UF and showing off in front of Brian pillman.
23:24
And Mike Graham who told him to just shut up, you know like if
23:29
you if your tongue basically if you hearing someone say like,
23:34
yeah, my God. Bob is better because they pay
23:37
this and that and this and that and you're shoving it in your
23:40
face. You just want to tell him to
23:41
shut up already. Dude.
23:43
Come on. Go go somewhere else.
23:44
Go! Go to your job.
23:46
That's how he was problematic. That's house.
23:50
It was he riled him up and all that stuff and then you know,
24:00
Sid was an instigator, he was problematic, he Toxic.
24:07
He began saying he's drawing more money than Graham has made
24:12
an entire career. He then sets his sights on Brian
24:18
pillman who earlier in the year at War Games, you know, the to
24:24
cage thing but this one in those earlier you had AKA roof on the
24:32
cage. So it was like as Tall as say it
24:37
is like do to just have to like raise his hand up and he grabbed
24:42
a cage and the guy is like, 69 610.
24:46
He's, he's tall. You'd like he can grab it right
24:49
there, but he intentionally injured pillman.
24:54
He lifted him up for a powerbomb and he can't even lift him up
24:58
all the way up because of the cage.
25:00
So, to prove a point. He lifted him up for a powerbomb
25:03
but released him and it landed. Added on his neck.
25:11
It was a bad situation at the time but here at this time, both
25:18
Graham and pillman got up to approach Sid who back down, but
25:24
had an unnecessary eschews, that his bicep was torn and didn't
25:29
want to injure it some more or else he fight.
25:33
If you're going to instigate a fight and then back down,
25:36
because you're currently, and you're don't instigate this damn
25:39
fight. That was a, you know, goodness,
25:46
that was a horrible thing to do. This was a case of fuck around
25:56
and find out. So pillman and Graham both
26:01
laughed at said, being injured and coming down to talk trash.
26:06
That's is left, but came back with a weapon and challenge G
26:11
and film into a fight. So G, grab that weapon from Sith
26:20
and, you know, just took it away from him and it ended up being a
26:26
squeegee. You know, the thing that you
26:30
used to wipe your windshield, from all the bugs said went out
26:34
to a parking lot and found himself a squeegee and said this
26:39
will do is yeah, anything else that would have okay, like
26:46
you're 69, these two guys are like probably shorter than you
26:51
and you're going to try to fight them off with a squeegee.
26:55
Bruce Prichard from the something to wrestle with
26:59
podcast. Recalls, my G telling his side
27:03
of the story and adding that as soon as he ripped the squeegee
27:06
off of Sid, he told him he was going to shove that thing up is
27:11
ass. If he didn't leave well he left
27:17
and both. Graham and pillman were deemed
27:19
Heroes for the situation. He wrote as in Two small guys
27:27
you know backing up or you know, having the big guy, the 69 guy
27:33
Retreat and you know go away because he was annoying as hell
27:37
at the time like WF guy with you know, talking smack.
27:43
So there was that later night night 3 said would come back and
27:51
work, alongside both Mike Graham who is now Road agent and of
27:57
course Brian pillman. So there's a story Kate and
28:04
points. It has issues with people in the
28:06
locker room, he gets into fight. You know, he's problematic, we
28:11
all know that. So we fast forward to this
28:14
moment right here. The fight gets broken up and
28:21
they are told to go to the rooms aren't and is in his boys leave
28:25
Beers in their hands and said, wait a while with Vader to go to
28:29
his room. At the hotel city's trying to
28:33
make it to the room. But in his way is Anderson, who
28:37
is hanging out by his room with a few other people drinking.
28:43
Anderson. See Sid had his way he breaks
28:46
the bottle at Trenton's to cut. Sid, it doesn't happen.
28:52
Of course, he lets it go to his room.
28:57
It'll also a good thing to point out that their rooms.
29:01
We're right across from each other, according to security,
29:08
those silly security said, then recall saying in his head, You
29:13
know, I wanted to go back to the bar but I actually went in my
29:17
room eight, a part of my sandwich and said to myself,
29:21
man, this motherfucker you don't, I have a bad temper, too.
29:27
I said this effort through a beer in my face and now he's
29:32
threatening me with a effing beer bottle, broken.
29:36
You know, you have to draw a second line, right?
29:40
So, He says there was a chair sitting right there so he broke
29:46
the chair. The broke.
29:50
He said there was a chair sitting right there so he broke
29:53
the leg off of it and he was going to go Whack Him in his
29:57
head a couple of times. So he leaves with the leg of the
30:04
chair. Like it's a two by four over her
30:06
shoulder. Remind you of anyone.
30:10
Oh, Choose. What is his name?
30:17
I forgot already Hacksaw Jim Duggan.
30:19
All right cool, he went looking for a fight and was hoping, Arne
30:25
was still a standing outside his hotel room but everyone was
30:29
gone. So instead, Sid walks over
30:34
knocks on the door and yells out, come on out here mf'er and
30:38
bring your beer bottle. Some back and forth between them
30:44
and it's at this time that said, realizes that what he's doing is
30:48
wrong and stupid. So, he throws the leg away and
30:52
starts walking away from the door.
30:55
He starts heading up to the bar, but Anderson opens the door, sit
31:01
turns around and are in his standing, there with a pair of
31:04
scissors, said, tells him that this has gone too far and he
31:08
tried to shake his hand, but Anderson rushed It with the
31:11
scissors. According to Sid, he doesn't
31:15
remember getting stabbed at first.
31:18
He says, quote, there were two doors in the corridor there and
31:22
he backed me up there and I had nowhere deaf and run when he
31:27
came into me and got close to me.
31:30
I think I hit him one time and he fell to him like at my feet.
31:34
When he did, I looked at him and out of the corner of my eye, I
31:37
saw the scissors fall. They're falling out of my My
31:40
stomach, I have a scar right there so when I saw the scissors
31:45
falling out, I realized I had been stabbed.
31:48
I didn't feel it in my face or hands but he launched back for
31:51
them a second time but my feet had got them first and then I
31:56
don't know, it happened so fast. Oh boy.
32:01
So the next person to see this 2 cold Scorpio his account he you
32:11
know, he says he stopped the fight. but, 2 cold Scorpio says,
32:22
he thought it was Vader getting into a fight with somebody
32:25
because I was so loud, so he goes to Vader's room, first,
32:29
knock on his door, to get him to calm down.
32:32
He instead he hears snoring through the door.
32:36
Too cold, recalls Vader. Snore can be hurt or two hotel
32:39
rooms. This man was out cold but not
32:43
for long. He kept knocking at the door
32:45
nobody answered. So too cold continues to hear
32:49
more commotion. So he continued to walk towards
32:53
the yelling and screaming until he sees the blood.
32:58
He says, quote Blood on the left, Blood on the right blood
33:03
all down the effing hallway and It.
33:07
I keep on walking and I'm in the effing hallway with a goddamn
33:12
towel. I get down there and said,
33:16
vicious and Arn Anderson are down there at your sprawling.
33:19
They were covered enough and blood.
33:22
This man saw a whole slasher movie, right before his very
33:25
eyes, how do you come back from that?
33:30
He goes on to say, Sid, Vicious got the effing scissors and got
33:35
Arn, Anderson by the hair and he's putting him to f'ing face.
33:39
Stabbing him with the scissors Every Which Way Arn Anderson got
33:43
blood. Splitting spitting out of him
33:45
like a horror movie and shit pan.
33:48
I see sick kicking orange nose and it does a 180 turn straight
33:52
the F up and shit. I'm like damn he continues.
33:59
I jump in. Boom, push them apart.
34:02
Art and shit. And I don't understand just kind
34:04
of Falls against a wall from half-drunk and half lots of
34:08
blood and shit and he just kind of stumble against the wall sit
34:12
kind of stepped back and he looks at me and I step back into
34:15
my stance and I'm like, damn what have to take you down?
34:21
You know what I'm saying? But that shit got stopped.
34:24
So just looked at my eyes, just looked at me Eyes Wide Open
34:28
freaked out. So, Sid, realizes what he's
34:34
doing. He comes to he snapped out of
34:37
it, there's a reason they call him psycho, Sid, and WWE.
34:42
And this is probably why one of the reasons shoot, man.
34:48
Obviously, this man has the problem.
34:51
He says he hurt Arn, say that he's killing him, and when he
34:55
comes to sit drop, the scissors looks around and says he's Act,
35:00
he dropped down. Your adrenaline has worn off.
35:04
He realizes he's been stabbed and walks out of the hallway.
35:11
Too cold is tending to Arn Anderson, he can't, he finally
35:15
realized that that Sid has walked away but you know, you
35:20
can't go after one person. While the other one is dying at
35:24
your feet, so he let him go in the hallway.
35:30
And back. We're going to go back to Vader
35:33
who finally wakes up because he heard commotion.
35:37
He walks out in his underwear, nothing but his tighty-whities.
35:42
Hide your wives. There's a 400-pound Vader in his
35:46
underwear. Just being Helen nosy.
35:51
He says that some guy was walking towards him like a
35:54
zombie, he's half asleep, but finally, wakes up to realize its
35:58
ID with Blood all over his body Vader.
36:02
Grabs ID, tackles him down on the floor, and saw that all the
36:07
blood was rushing out acid stomach.
36:10
Raider recall this moment on Hannibal TV saying that every
36:13
time sits heartbeat about a nickel size of blood would come
36:18
out. This look like a fountain.
36:21
This man is going to die. Let's blood was coming out.
36:26
He was dying. He says that the only thing that
36:28
could stop the blood with from coming.
36:30
Nowt was him pushing his thumb inside?
36:33
Sid stomach? He told said not to move calls
36:38
for help and more towels. 400-pound, man in his Whitey's
36:44
now. They're soaked red.
36:46
Now because there's blood is all over that man.
36:52

38:23
Vader doesn't remember how long he held his finger in but the
38:26
ambulance finally shows up 2 cold Scorpio.
38:30
And one of the officers guys, Richard Steinberg, head to the
38:33
hospital with them too. Cold says, they ends up staying
38:38
over there. Filling out papers for iron and
38:40
filling out papers for Sid. Real name, address the whole
38:44
nine yards, and I'm over there doing the same filling out
38:47
papers for Syd. I'm like, damn, you know what
38:50
I'm saying? So Sid has to have exploratory
38:54
surgery arms got to get patched up from head to toe damn near
38:59
and shit with all his damn Cuts Richard Steinberg who was a w
39:05
official on the store and was the director of marketing
39:08
services on the entire tour. Got a phone call at 2:30 in the
39:12
morning and was told to go to the lobby.
39:17
He gets off the elevator and those are the crime scene
39:19
because that's what it was. He passes by both Arne and Syd's
39:24
room right across from each other.
39:27
Lots of blood everywhere and smashed Furniture.
39:31
He passes by the lobby and notices the entire front glass.
39:34
Window is smashed out, says, on the floor Mater dying.
39:39
So, he covers to other wounds with his hands until the
39:42
ambulance gets there. He recalls, Sid crying all the
39:46
way to the hospital. One moment saying that he wanted
39:49
to want to die. And the next moment he's saying,
39:52
he's fucked up and he's never going to be WWE world champion
39:57
and man is dying in his, the only thing you can think about,
40:02
oh, shoot. I'm never gonna be WWF Champion,
40:05
which reminds me so much of Scream.
40:10
And stew and he's getting eat talking to Sydney on the phone.
40:16
This is like towards the end towards the climax and he like
40:22
after all this stuff that's going on.
40:24
After all the murders, he tell he asked, any did you really
40:28
call the cops? And she said, yeah and then he
40:32
says, my very good of you mad at me or something like that.
40:38
I don't remember the exact quote, I Jesus life, love that
40:41
up. Okay, but this is what protest
40:44
reminded me of. I fucked up.
40:47
I'm never gonna be no show me which a to get, but I'm dying
40:53
for them. Think I'm dying man.
40:55
Oh, scream was one of my favorite movies.
40:58
Anyway, that's how scissors. Damn.
41:04
So, He Steinberg tries to contact disability back in
41:10
Atlanta but it's the middle of the night over there.
41:13
They're out in England. He leaves a message to Eric
41:16
Bischoff president. He stays up all night at the
41:20
hospital in the WWE was head of security.
41:22
Doug Dillinger shows up to relieve him and he gets some
41:27
sleep when he wakes up he gets a call from Atlanta telling him to
41:31
remain in Blackburn with stayed in Iron.
41:33
While the tour continues to the next city.
41:35
He's he says a day or two later. When the guys were stable enough
41:40
to travel W told me to take the guys on different days, the
41:44
different airports to get them back to the United States.
41:47
I ultimately puts it in a taxi and send them on his way to the
41:50
airport. The next day I did the same with
41:53
iron but taxi to a different airport on the third day.
41:58
I grabbed two trains and cut up with a tour in Birmingham
42:01
England, I walked into the lobby of the hotel and probably sat
42:05
down To breakfast with Rick Rude and Rick Rude is probably saying
42:10
so how was your weekend? Oh man.
42:14
That's crazy. Eric Bischoff on his 83, week's
42:22
podcast with Conrad Thompson. He got the phone call from Doug
42:27
Dillinger, he gave him a status report.
42:31
On both said, in Iron, he also had opinions, he expressed those
42:36
opinions and influence them, but the final decision was Bill Shah
42:41
at the time. The only they ultimately had to
42:45
look at the engine. In itself, the message that is
42:48
sent the perception and reality of how well the management
42:53
handle it. They heard the fight started
42:57
because it was bragging. He got a hundred thousand
42:59
dollars every year. Raise and aren't got a pay cut
43:04
from Bill Watts. He's also spewing saying it's
43:10
time for sting to step out into the Limelight and the old
43:15
fuckers like Ric Flair and iron need to retire, they're holding
43:20
the younger Talent back, be got into an argument Dillinger.
43:24
Took our to his room, according to iron, Sid came in, with the
43:29
leg of the chair. Hit aren't in the head knocked
43:32
him out and when he came to sit was on top of him.
43:36
So our and grabbed a pair of scissors nearby and started
43:38
stabbing Sid with it. WWE criticized by WWE was
43:44
criticized over the way they handled the situation half a
43:48
dozen people giving different account of the same thing.
43:51
There was no definitive story that Doug said he could believe.
43:54
So they didn't get a clear picture and is the reason how it
43:59
was handled Conrad Thompson says the original plan for start
44:04
getting December was pervaded, the dropped the facility World
44:07
Championship the Sid, but he was let go to his incident.
44:11
Instead it became the W world champion Vader, dropping the
44:14
belt, to that old man Ric Flair. Yeah, and July of 1994 said,
44:23
shows up in Jerry, Lawler's promotion the uswa and in 1995,
44:27
we all know he showed up in WF as Shawn Michaels new bodyguard
44:32
dubbed Sycho, Sid. So, let's go back at the
44:38
hospital and the aftermath of all this a few days after a
44:41
fight broke out, say, is being questioned by the police and
44:45
wanting to press charges against Anderson.
44:48
Do the Stab Wound. He tells them quote.
44:52
Nah, man, I'm not going to press charges against him.
44:55
We both made mistakes. I don't know how bad he's really
44:58
hurt. I really didn't and they're
45:01
like, you know, your friend. He's got not one scratch on him.
45:05
Here, I'm having a flirt Surgery already I guess dabs on my face
45:09
and I said he's not got a scratch on him.
45:13
I thought maybe as I say it happened so fast.
45:17
I really don't remember it happening.
45:20
I thought this mother of her so I was going to press charges on
45:23
him later that night. The nurse came over to my room
45:27
and said your friend is really messed up so he what he gets up
45:31
walks over to Anderson room and he's messed up.
45:35
The cops came back to next morning and told him he's not
45:38
signing that, the aftermath Arn Anderson suffered 20 stab wounds
45:45
to the chest and stomach. Well Sid was only stabbed four
45:49
times W president Eric Bischoff fired said after several
45:54
wrestlers threatened to walk out, if he was not terminated
45:58
Anders and only got off with a suspension said, has since
46:01
apologized to Anderson for the instant and the pair are on good
46:06
terms together. Today.
46:09
