Hey, who called Larry that 'cause he shouldn't have lol? The tape kept skipping so it went from training some heavy guy to getting called that ugly name to the guy not showing up for a week. lol

@cocoabononohead Hey, I'm not sure but I onch heard Lex Lugar say in an interview something that sounded like, Israeli but Lex didn't get the whole word out before he was punched in the face. (lol Kayfabe) However; Rick's last name is either Jewish or German. His last name was once listed as something Italian sounding starting with a M. I tell you what though he has an odd nose.

Ric Flair was never an orphan. His dad was a doctor!

When he was talking about the phone call...I got that phone call about my daughter too. It took the life out me. I laid down on my office floor for an hour. No parent should have to outlive a child
