When faced with change, wrestling fans tend to reach a level of overreaction unseen in any other form of entertainment. The drones who inhabit the iMPACT! Zone are no different. Here is the story of one such individual.

According to Radar Online, the following exchange took place during Nick Hogan's deposition in the lawsuit filed by John Graziano's family against the Hogans over the car accident the left Graziano in a vegetative state:
When a lawyer asked about what type of issues John had Nick told them that John had hatred for some people, a source close to the situation told RadarOnline.com exclusively.
The lawyer kept probing and asked what type of people. Nick responded: "Homos. He wanted to kill homos."
The room grew silent and one lawyer put his head in his hands, the source told RadarOnline.com.
In other news, drug testing doesn't really matter because pro wrestling is entertainment, not a sport. Jerry McDevitt said so.

BRUISER BRODY
One of the most intimidating and merciless men both in and out of the ring, Bruiser Brody was a wrestling nomad who bounced from territory to territory and continent to continent. Known for being incredibly stiff in the ring and a notorious hard ass backstage, he was a polarizing figure. As far as wrestlers went he was one of the best big guys ever and induced fear in both the fans and his opponents. Everywhere he went he drew money. Of course, he never stayed anywhere too long for fear of growing stale and also because he had a habit of going into business for himself and not doing jobs. He was a promoters greatest asset and also his biggest headache. Unfortunately for us, Brody was shanked and bled to death in a Puerto Rican locker room by eternal douche bag Jose Gonzalez. A wild eyed, crazy haired, chain swinging mad man, Bruiser Brody shattered the mold of what a monster looked like and blurred the line between reality and entertainment. They don't make 'em like him anymore. Here's a match between him and a VEEEEEERY young Undertaker as well as an awesome brawl between Brody and Terry Funk. We're almost to the end of Monster Month! Come back tomorrow to see who clinched the top spot on our list of the top monsters in the history of pro wrestling.

SID VICIOUS
Psycho Sid. Sid Justice. Sid Vicious. Sid Eudy. Master and Ruler. The dude who put his leg on backwards. These are all titles that Sid answers to. I would say that Sid is my greatest "guilty pleasure" but I find no guilt in being a fan of his. At 6'9 he casts an ominous shadow over the world. Bad enough to attack a man with a pair of scissors or a squeegee, Sid fears no one walking the Earth. I have a dream of one day seeing Sid show up on Raw and him powerbombing CM Punk off of the stage. Yes, I'm aware that Punk is on Smackdown now. This is my dream so BACK OFF. The only thing that equals his love for death and destruction is his love of softball. WWF, ECW, WCW, Sid has been there and curb stomped that. The man who single handedly keeps Body Glove in business and makes the fist bump cool. Bow down before your master and ruler!

LEATHERFACE
In the history of professional wrestling there have been maybe 5 or 6 original ideas. Everything else has been a rehashing of a previous idea with varying degrees of success. So the fact that a wrestling character was based DIRECTLY on a movie character should come as a shock to literally no one. Mike Kirchner enjoyed modest success in the WWF in the mid 80's as Corporal Kirchner before flunking a drug test and losing his job. He headed to Japan and took on the Leatherface persona and did OK, although he did have some controversial moments. In one instance he beat the living hell out of a fan and did a stint in jail. Later on he went nuts during a deathmatch and leg dropped a piece of a bed of nails onto the throat of Hiroshi Ono before powerbombing Ono onto the bed of nails. Yeah. Apparently he still works from time to time, popping up in the ICP garbage promotion once in a while. Yes, I hate Juggalos. Deal with it. There were two Leatherfaces, and truth be told I'm not sure which one is in the Kensuke Sasaki/Leatherface match I'm posting here, nor do I care. I'm also posting both parts of a nice garbage brawl between Leatherface and Crash the Terminator. Knock yourselves out.

Jim Ross maybe advises that Kurt Angle try suicide, then clarifies his comments

Over the weekend, Jim Ross posted this:
What has occurred lately for Angle obviously isn't working for a legitimately decent human being. It seems as if problems exist and my theory has always been that if one can't, after doing all that's humanly possible, solve a problem then the only alternative is to eliminate the problem.
I know he's usually cryptic, but...yeah, that sure reads badly.
Today, he posted about Angle again:
We received some unique feedback on the thoughts I wrote this weekend on the Kurt Angle arrest situation. Let me make it clear that Angle has not been convicted of any thing. I never even mentioned the allegations regarding alleged physical abuse to a woman which, by the way, I do not believe. The issue is that when external factors adversely affect one's life and when one's life is under such a professional microscope and is overly scrutinized there are times when one simply needs to take him or herself out of the game for a while to regroup. Call it a vacation or even a leave of absence but stepping away and being able to exhale sometimes isn't a bad thing. (I have these emotions all the time and would love to be able to recharge my batteries from time to time.) I remain steadfast that I believe Kurt Angle to be a good hearted human being but I also believe that sometimes that he can be his own worst enemy. Many of us have that propensity. The drive it takes to create an Olympic Champion can be both a blessing and a curse. I have not talked to Kurt in years but I still feel as if I know him very well and for him to take a moment to simplify his life, re-prioritize it and to determine what's most important in his life might be timely.
I often times see "wrestling couples" hooking up and I truly feel empathy for them. As I have said in this space many times, with the exception of a minority of examples, "wrestling relationships" are usually bound to implode which then adversely affects the locker room and often times forces many within said locker room to "choose sides." Choosing sides in a matter such as this isn't good as the only "side" a wrestler should have is the "side" of the company that pays them their pay check.
