lol, Michaels and Hall took a payday from TEN people
so thats what hes talking about. I always knew Hall/Michaels got heat for going way over. I didn't know they cancelled a match. They probably didnt get punished because that match was the only one worth any longevity on WM 10(besides owen vs bret)
lol, Michaels and Hall took a payday from TEN people
they still got the same payday they would have. just didn't get the opportunity to bore MSG
macho man got mad too... apparently forgetting that he himself used politics to have a match with his pal Crush... plus according to Lanny if he had stayed in the WWE he wanted to do a long program with HBK

I don't think it worked that way back then? they didn't work the event, they were just booked.
I have heard tons of shoots and stories where people were upset they got bumped and lost a payday.
Bob said in his Youshoot or RF video interview that he still got his payday.

Probably depended on who complained then?
I doubt good old Double J got his money
Not sure, Jerry Jarrett was basically a right-hand-man to Vince at the time
And Jeff has always defended the kliq

Rick Martel was on his way out
Tatanka was definitely salty at the kliq
Headshrinkers and HBK/Diesel worked the house shows and I never heard them say a bad word about each other
2 out of 3 advantage
I forgot to mention, he d!ckrides Steve Blackman thru out the entire book. Says Blackman is the toughest fighter ever. I'll post that later.

I don’t care for women wrestling, especially what they do in WWE. They put these women out there who can’t wrestle a lick and it exposes the business. Sure, we all know it’s a work, but this is a step too far. Fans don’t want to see women wrestle. They want to see tits and ass. When Alundra Blayze was the women’s champion, people didn’t care about her. When Sable came along and added the sexy side to it, using women in the ring started to evolve and sell tickets. Sable was a huge draw. She turned the corner in wrestling for women, not Sunny. You put them side by side; Sable might be older, but Sunny shouldn’t even be in the same room. Sunny was over but once Sable came in, everybody was like, “Who the fuck is Sunny?” Sable is the one who raised the bar.
They added some more scantily clad women because sex sold. They made the mistake of trying to get them to wrestle though, and that was like trying to get blood from a stone in some cases. Lita was horrifying. She thought she was so much better than she really was. Trish Stratus was all right but wasn’t that great a wrestler, nowhere near as good as everybody makes her out to be. She got her push because she was somebody in the fitness world, so Vince wanted to capitalize on that. I’m sure her relationship with Rocky didn’t hurt either. She needed people to help make her look good. Look at her Wrestlemania matches in back-to back years. When she was supposed to lead Christy Hemme at ‘Mania 21, it was terrible. The next year, Trish had a pretty good match against Mickie James and that was because of Mickie. In her position, Trish should have been able to lead and she couldn’t.
Mickie is good. Molly Holly, Victoria, and Michelle McCool were good. Jackie Moore was a real good wrestler. She was the Steve Blackman of women – she’d hurt somebody in a second. All the boys liked her. She looked good and she could wrestle. Her stuff looked believable. Her only drawback was that she was very short and couldn’t talk well. Beth Phoenix is really fucking good. Everybody respects Beth. The boys treat her as part of the family because she works her ass off. Gail Kim is really good too. I respect women like that, who get into the business, learn how to work, go out there, and bust there ass.
Some of them can’t wrestle so much but they’re game to get involved where they can. When I was working with Cody Rhodes against Santino and Carlito, they had Maria in their corner and the agent wanted her involved. We did a spot where we were all on the floor and Maria walked in front of her guys and started shaking her ass to distract me. I looked at the crowd, paused, and came back from left field with my hand wide open. It couldn’t have been a more perfect smack. It sounded like a shotgun going off. Carlito’s eyes got as big as saucers. The crowd blew the roof off that place – it was the highlight of that match.
When we got to the back, I checked with her and she said she was fine. A while later, she came out of the women’s dressing room, said to me, “You’ve got to see this,” and pulled her skirt up. Well, I wasn’t going to tell her no! Right on her ass, there was a perfect print of my hand in purple and blue. You could have taken a fingerprint off it. She thought it was great fun. Maria wasn’t the best wrestler, but she was always fun to work with and did the best she could.
The girls who are only there as eye candy are harder to respect. The boys tend to ignore them unless they are after a piece of ass. Some of those girls think the sex thing will get them all the way. The Kat flashed her tits on pay-per-view in the Attitude Era. She was just trying to get over. It got a good reaction, sure, but it didn’t help her in the long run. She got chewed out as soon as she came backstage from that one. They were all over her, asking, “Why the hell did you do that?!” She just said, “Because I wanted to,” but I’m betting Jerry Lawler planted that seed and put her up to it. The only reason she was there in the first place was because of her relationship with The King. She had no business in the WWF whatsoever. Terri Runnels acted out all the time. Melina was the most hated girl in the locker room at one point – she thought she was the best wrestler and the best looking female and she was neither. Kelly Kelly was there for years but she never learned to work a lick. None of the boys respected her. It is women like that who take away from Beth, Gail, and all the women who have worked hard to earn respect.

thanks for posting do u have the DL link for the whole book?
at that ether at Melina
to Maria and MickieI'm not surprised by his assessment of Trish and Lita, their popularity and overness in the Attitude Era is what they mostly remembered for, not necessarily their work rate
Holy shyt...all these years i NEVER pieced together that SIMON DEAN = hollywood NOVA
