@_braveheart_: Exactly. He did that kind of crap all the time. The guy hated to lose matches, and would always bad talk the other wrestlers in interviews saying how he should have won, but the industry had other plans. Of course they do. That is part of being a great wrestler. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Sometimes you're on the top, sometimes you're fighting you're way up from the bottom. Sometimes you get sh*t on, and then you get back up and say. "Hey... I can take it. Because I am the best at what I do." He couldn't do that. And because he couldn't do that, he doesn't get a spot on my Greatest Wrestlers list. You have to pay you're dues in that business, being able to take all the abuse makes you look all the better.
Notice how: Batista, Brock Lestnar, and Bret Hart are not on my list... It is because they couldn't handle the abuse. Boo-Tista left because he couldn't take being booed. Brock did the same, and now he is back... And I don't care.
Kurt Angel used to pretend that he hated the whole "You suck... You suck... You suck..." Chants. But honestly he loved the fans, and they loved him too. In Wrestling we need Heels just as much as we need Faces. And the ones that can take it, are worth remembering. Add wrestling talent and personality into the mix and you have the recipe for a Legend.
