    I remember Mick writing in his first book saying "having a good name won't make you, but having a bad name can definitely break you"

      I think it can only break you in the eyes of the office. The audience will buy anything if the wrestler can make it their own.
      Names like "The Rock" or "Triple H" are ridiculous, but they developed logically over time.

      The Wrestlemania X-seven main event for the WWF championship Flex Kavana vs Chilly McFreeze.

      ​@@raveoreynolds6049 Yeah, but they didn't start off with those names either. It was an evolution and re-branding of the those characters, along with the overall show, that ultimately helped successfully sell them. Rocky Mavia and Hunter Heast Helmsley weren't exactly setting the world on fire, and I also think there's something to be said about simplifying names. I think the big sticking point here is that they stuck with these guys, and helped fine tune their presentation and on-screen personalities.

    Enthralling. Mick is the best person to just sit and listen to. It's a happy thing for me, with how many wrestlers have ended up dead or with their lives in shambles, seeing him just living his life and being seemingly content. I love it.

    Conrad is such a fantastic interviewer. So knowledgeable.

    The amount this man put himself through for the wrestling business is incredible. When taker tossed him of the cage i honestly thought he was dead. Again when he went through it. Only people that is on his level was sabu and haku.

      Terry is really getting up there in age, I wonder when his last interview actually was. It's gonna be a sad day when we lose him.

    For all the drama, injuries, and negative parts to the business. Mick also reminds us about why we and he loves the business. I mean, if it wasn't FUN then we'd be watching an empty ring, in an empty arena.

    he was one of the only wrestlers that had a totally different outro song than his intro song. the Piano music for the outtro was amazing! ua-cam.com/video/_Rib2ZLwYNo/v-deo.html

    I used to say Mankind's original dark music was more epic and newer fans wouldn't get it.....now Mankind says what i said ..so have a bad day!

    I wonder if the Mason name was inspired from Mason Verger from the Thomas Harris books?

    Why did you retire your gimmicks and used your real name?

    • @gunfighter009
      @gunfighter009 2 роки тому

      I'm pretty sure it's because his book came out and was a big deal and they wanted to promote it so he started going by his real name on tv
