• “Are we under attack here?” – WWF Referee On Horrifying Moment During Tribute To The Troops In Iraq

Old School WWF Referee Jimmy Korderas was recently interviewed by WrestlingInc, where he talked about a horrifying moment he experienced during a Tribute To The Troops event in Iraq.

Here’s what he said:

“During the show, I got to referee the match between Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit, which was amazing. What we didn’t expect was as we are going to the commercial break spot, all of a sudden here come these planes flying overhead. That we didn’t know was going to happen.

So, I started to go, ‘oh my goodness, what’s going on here?’ Then I looked at Chris and Eddie and they were like, ‘what’s going on here?’ And we all kind of thought, ‘are we under attack here, are we in trouble?’.

Somebody from ringside had to get up and told me, ‘Listen, we are all good, we’re okay this was planned.’ Nice if you would have told us about it. Because all three of us in the ring are like, ‘are we under attack here? Should we duck under the ring?’

So we didn’t know about it. I guess they wanted the natural reaction. They got one anyway and they almost got more than they bargained for.”

WWE went to tape Tribute To The Troops in Iraq from 2003 until 2009, except for 2005 when they went to Afghanistan.

• Original Plan For The Infamous Katie Vick Storyline

On a recent episode of his House of Hardcore podcast, Old School ECW Legend Tommy Dreamer revealed what was originally planned for the infamous Katie Vick Storyline.

This storyline is largely considered one of the worst storylines in WWE history, as it featured ‘The Game’ Triple H (being dressed as Kane) performing a sexual act on a (kayfabe) dead body.

Here’s what Dreamer said:

“The whole Katie Vick, narcolepsy (Necrophilia) angle, that all came about through Vince and the payoff of all that was going to be Sick Boy Scott Vick was going to wrestle Triple H at WrestleMania to avenge his sister, who was dead.

That all came about when Sick Boy Scott Vick had a dark match tryout and Vince just liked the name Scott Vick because they couldn’t call him Sick Boy. This horrible angle with Kane and Triple H was going to be the caveat to headlining WrestleMania with Scott Vick avenging his sister Katie Vick.

I remember Johnny (John Laurinaitis) having to tell Vince, ‘That’s great, but he’s not employed here.’ He was on a tryout. People have gotten hired on a lot weirder things but I think after that, it was just, ‘Oh,’ and we lost that amazing WrestleMania to avenge [Sick Boy’s] sister’s horrible degradation of her grave.

That’s sometimes how these crazy things happen in WWE.”

• “You never admit you got your a$$ kicked, much less being horrified or terrified” – Ric Flair To Seth Rollins

During the latest episode of his podcast, 2-time WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair discussed the recent attack on Seth Rollins by a fan.

Flair wasn’t happy with how Rollins said during an interview with TMZ that the attack was terrifying.

Here’s what The Nature Boy said:

“In all fairness, I could say a lot of cute things, but I’m not going to. Every time I say something, I have to involve other people and they have to endure the consequences, so I’m just going to say this. I’ve seen that happen, but I’ve never seen it where I recall the mark, the fan, clearly was getting the better of the individual.

My problem with Seth is if you’re a top guy in this business, and you know anything about the psychology of what the fans think and feel, which they really do, you never, ever, ever, get off an airplane in L.A. and say, ‘I was terrified.’ Terrified of what? Terrifying is being in an airplane crash.

You were terrified or horrified by a wrestling fan? Come on, man. What I would have done if I was Seth, which everybody should learn from this, is that even if the referees had him, I would have jumped back on him, even if I never got a shot at him. I know your answer is going to be, ‘Well, there’s lawsuits and all of that’. The WWE would have covered the lawsuit. Seth never would have got to him.

If you’re a heel, you never admit defeat. You just don’t do it. Do you think I’ve ever beat anybody? No, but in the minds of most people, I didn’t lose because I kept lying about it even though it was a work. You never admit you got your a$$ kicked, much less being horrified or terrified. Please.

You got to be tough to be in this business, period. Even today. These kids are tough. I’ll tell you right now and I can’t help but bring her in, Ashley (Charlotte Flair’s real name) can kick anybody’s a$$…second generation kids are taught to be tough. Roman Reigns, The Usos. I’m such fan of kids that had to really be tough and just survive in life.

If you’ve been a real athlete and really competed at a tough level you’re tough. You’re mentally tough, you’re physically tough and you’re honed and trained – if that same thing happened to Ashley hypothetically, I don’t know if the guy could have taken Ashley down. She’s tough, man.

You don’t think Tamina’s tough, or Nia Jax, or, Nattie Neidhart, are you kidding me? They came up in families where you had to be tough.”

When a fan in attendance at WWE’s TV Shows & PPVs goes to the bathroom or leaves their seat to buy food & drinks, their seat is filled by a ‘seat filler’, in order to ensure that empty seats don’t appear on camera.

Here’s what the employee said:

“Somebody who hopefully paid a lot of money for the seat you’re sitting in comes back and is every confused as to why you are sitting there. Kindly and politely explain, ‘Hey, listen, I’m a seat filler. I’m with WWE. I’m only sitting here until you get back. Most of the time, that will solve all problems.”

“Fellas, if you are close enough to hug Carmella, don’t even think about it. Ladies, if you are close enough to touch Finn’s abs, do not think about it. Please don’t touch the talent. Please don’t throw anything at our talent.”
