(Please note- this isnt a thread where I lie and post all the "Summerslam spoilers that my friend told me)
Im friends with a WWE employee!
Or...my family is friends with a former WWF employee.
But close enough, eh?
Anyway, my family and I are good friendswith a family due to the fact that 1 of their daughters is my age while the other is my sister's age. Anyway, the father of the family worked with the WWF in the 80's and early 90's. Hes told countless stories and facts about his time there, and they include:
-His great friendship with many wrestlers, especially Macho Man and Andre the Giant.
-He was on TV a few times. One can be seen here: . He is the shorter guy in the front to the left. He was also in a commercial (If any old-school fans remember a commercial where Vince has to duck out of the way of a man carying a 2x4, that was him!) and was asked to be a jobber a few times. He declined .
-He has quite a few stories, such as-
1. Once he was driving Andre and a few others to the next show, and the whole floor was littered in beer. He wasnt drinking, but Andre was a huge drinker, and drank tons every day due to the fact that it took a lot to get him drunk. Anyway, he got pulled over for speeding, and when the officer opened the back door, all the beer bottles opened up, revealing a drunk Andre. He got away by giving him a signed pic of Andre, though.
2. Being asked to go on a boat with Macho Man and Elizabeth.
3. How odd and wacky Warrior was backstage.
Dont believe me? Ive seen his old WWF employee card. Also, while in Florida yesterday, they met Linda Hogan, who remembered him. Hulk and Brooke werent there, so I didnt care .
I might be able to get the picture with the family and Linda, but until I do, you'll just have to trust me. You do...right?
Anyway, just felt like saying this.
