• Old School AWA Legend Would Have Celebrated His Birthday

Today would have been the 84th birthday of Old School Wrestling Legend Larry “The Axe” Hennig.

Larry Hennig wrestled for various promotions in the 60s, 70s & 80s, such as Verne Gagne’s AWA and Vince McMahon Sr.’s WWWF.

He was the father of Old School WWF Legend “Mr. Perfect” Curt Hennig, and the grandfather of current WWE Wrestler Curtis Axel.

Larry isn’t in the WWE Hall of Fame yet, but will most likely be inducted one day as part of the annual Legacy Wing inductions.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY & † REST IN PEACE

June 18, 1936 – December 6, 2018

• Bret Hart Regrets Going To WCW

2 Time WWE Hall Of Famer Bret Hart was a special guest on this week’s WWE Backstage. During the show, he discussed his WCW run, which he’s not so proud of.

Below is what he said:

“The funny thing about it was, I remember Vince saying that to me, he goes, ‘WCW would never know what to do with a Bret Hart’.

And you know it’s like, 3-4 months there, I realized how incredibly true that was. They didn’t really know what to do with me, they had no appreciation for my skills or my abilities. I remember often going to Eric Bischoff and going, ‘How about throwing me in with this guy, how about putting me in with Booker T or how about I do this’.

And they would always come up with the most lame reason why I couldn’t wrestle [Booker T] because you were working with somebody else or something like that. I remember going ‘That’s not even a reason’. They didn’t really know what they were doing and I am not sure what the politics of all that was.

If I could do it all over again, I think, I would try to figure out a better way to stay in WWF. I mean knowing what I know about WCW, I am sorry that I ever went there.”
