It is very disrespectful to an athlete, especially one who is breathing heavily from exertion. Imagine somebody on a tv news crew smoking around all the puffing runners at the end of a marathon. Ric Flair was graceous, Gene did right by him. We love you, Gene!
Big show (back in WCW) Jack Swagger, Santino, and Michael PS Hayes are some new names. Big show only smoked for like a year though, and Hayes only smoke cigars from what I know.
lol well this was royal rumble 5, live on pay-per-view, impossible to re-shoot. i think it is safe to assume that Mean Gene hates cigarette smoke! the culprit is probably some scrub that worked in the TV audio/visual department at the Pepsi arena. i guess at the time it was called the Knickerbocker arena. .
I live in Sarasota FL, I know someone who was a bartender at one of Mean Jeans watering holes, and one of his stories is how he would bum smokes off of Jean while they bullshitted.
R-Truth, ODB, Eric Young, Jeff Hardy, Terri & Armando Estrada...are all wrestlers who smoke(ed). (Estrata I believe just had the Cuban cigars for show).
Yeah, put that cigarette out! You know it takes Ric a lot of breath to keep going WHOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! What are you trying to do? Give him lung cancer?!! WHEWWWWWWWEEEEEeeeeeeeeeehhhhh hack hack cough
Mene Gene WOULD make you his bitch aswell. He just could box, none of this fake ass shit. A great boxer in his youth he was, having been raised by a bear.
...jump I wanna party, but a gotta tell ya like this for the HOGANS and the PIPERS and the SIDS, now it's RIC FLAIR...and you all pay homage to the MAN! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT!
yeah I agree, at first I thought it was just okerlund acting insane but you can tell from his shit acting once flair starts talking that he's making out people are celebrating behind the camera.
Mean Gene: Put that cigarette out!
Brodus Clay: My bad!

Gene was definitely not anti-smoking because he smokes cigars. Gene was probably concerned that the cigarette smoke would ruin the shot.
