During an interview with the Attitude Era Podcast, WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart reflected on the Montreal Screwjob from the 1997 Survivor Series…. “The Montreal Screwjob and all the lies and things they did to me. I have so much respect for what I did. If you were in my shoes, after everything that I did for them, for them to do what they did to me. I always hear this crap like I heard Undertaker say, ‘they had to do what they were going to do. There was no other option.’ Bullshit. I had another six weeks left on my contract. There were a million things that could have been done. It was a case of liars, cheaters, backstabbers, and guys that made that moment happen. Shawn, Triple H, Vince McMahon. I wish I knocked them all out. I have no regrets. It was the single greatest thing I ever did.”

Chris Jericho credits Vince McMahon for being open to talent rejecting ideas they are uncomfortable with. Chris Jericho entered WWE in 1999. At the time, the Attitude Era was at its peak, and WWE was regularly pushing the envelope on television. Whether it was Mae Young giving birth to a hand or an incapacitated Stephanie McMahon unknowingly getting married to Triple H via a drive-through wedding chapel in Las Vegas, WWE's Attitude Era was filled with some memorable moments that are murky and questionable, at best, upon reflection.

Sting had one of the greatest retirement matches of all time earlier this year, which included his sons Steven and Garrett accompanying him to the ring and memorably even getting involved in the bout. Yet, while it’s understood that the WWE Hall of Famer remains under contract with AEW, he hasn’t appeared on television since stepping away from the squared circle. And now, while appearing at the Cauliflower Alley Club’s 58th annual reunion, he has shown off his updated look, seemingly having embraced his grey hair. 65-year-old Sting broke into the business in 1985 under the name Flash, with him initially forming a tag team with The Ultimate Warrior, who was called Justice at this time. However, they would end up going their separate ways, with both becoming massive stars for rival promotions, as Sting became WCW’s top babyface while Warrior was once positioned as Hulk Hogan’s replacement in WWE. Still, it would be Sting who would have the longevity, as while Warrior was effectively out of the business by the end of the 90s, Sting would go on to work for TNA, WWE, and AEW.

Sting Shows Off His Post-Retirement Look

While Ric Flair is regarded as one of the greatest in-ring performers of all time, his all-around aura is what turned him into a star, with his lavish robes being part of this. And now one of his most beautiful robes, The Green Jungle, which was handmade by Olivia Walker, has sold at auction for $103,700 following eight bids from collectors who clearly have deep pockets. Who will benefit from the selling of this robe, which Flair wore for his 1986 NWA Battle Of The Belts II match with Barry Windham, is currently unclear. This is because while it’s known, it was once owned by referee and Flair mega fan Charles Robinson, it apparently was exchanged with a private collector, who clearly decided now was a good time to cash in on a legendary piece of pro wrestling history.

I am back with another DragonKingKarl podcast with my continuing long-form history of wrestling and on this episode, I cover August 1984. Hulk Hogan and the WWF continue to steamroll over everybody and essentially steal California from the AWA by buying their TV spot out from under them. But the other promotions aren’t dead just yet. Georgia rises from the ashes to attempt a comeback, the Road Warriors become AWA World Tag Team Champions, and more.

The WWE created many legendary wrestlers over the years and brought them world glory. It’s a great and exciting sport that brings entertainment to millions around the world. But this means nothing if the wrestler is not ready to make the next step and go all the way. As Maxwell Jacob Friedman said, “I don’t need a New Japan or a Vince McMahon to make MJF because MJF made MJF.” This means if you don’t believe in yourself and don’t bet on yourself, you won’t get far in this sport. And no, we don’t mean placing an actual wager on yourself at a bookmaker. Apart from being illegal, this is also highly unethical and frowned upon in the sport. If you want to try gambling go for a roulette demo or other free-play games at sites like FreeRouletteDoc. So, without further ado, here are 7 wrestlers who bet on themselves and made it:
