6) Mick Foley On The Consequences Of Being Hardcore.
From ‘For All Mankind: The Life and Career of Mick Foley’, he shared a sad quote about the pain he deals with on a daily basis:
“I hope I caught these injuries in time; I give up the rollercoasters, look off-camera when someone flashes a lightbulb. Every once in a while when I have to walk down more than a couple of flights of stairs, I’ll say “What have I done to myself” but I’m in pain, and apparently these things don’t get better. But this is stuff that I knew, as I was launching myself off ring aprons onto concrete, so you don’t often hear me complain”
The consequences of being a hardcore legend.
5) Jim Ross On The Death Of Owen Hart
After Owen Hart died at the WWE’s Over the Edge Pay-Per-View, Jim Ross had the unenviable job to tell the audience at home what had happened. JR shared this note about seeing Owen again:
“All that I can say about Owen Hart is that I hope that I can be, as good a man as him, so that I can see him again, someday.”
An emotional moment and a tragic situation.
4) Bret Hart On The 15th Anniversary Of Owen’s Death
In a Facebook post on May 23rd, 2014, Bret shared these words about the 15th anniversary of Owen Hart’s death:
“Hey Owen, can’t believe it’s been fifteen years since you left us. It still hurts the same and not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and smile. There are so many things I wish I could tell you but, most of all, I’d just tell you how much I miss you Brother”
Rest in Peace Owen.
3) Chris Jericho On All Of His Friends Dying
From Chris Jericho’s book: ‘The Best in the World: At What I Have No Idea’, he talks about his friends slowly dying. Chris Benoit, Eddie Guerrero, and Brian Hildebrand all passed away, leaving only him and Dean Malenko alive.
“There’s a great picture in A Lions’ Tale of me, Dean, Eddie, Benoit, and Brian Hildebrand (my WCW gang) in 1998. There’s another one in Undisputed of the surviving four of us after Brian passed away. Now only Dean and I remain. Hopefully there will be another picture of the two of us in my next book”
For those wondering, there was a photo of Jericho and Dean in the book. Still a sad quote about losing his friends.
