Chris Adams was shot to death by his best friend. Best friend said he and Adams were drinking and joking around late one night and suddenly Adams went after him. The man thought Adams was playing around until Adams sat on his chest and attempted to extract his eyeball. With Adams thumb imbedded in his eye socket, the guy knocked him off and shot him in the chest. Then immediately called 911. This man was Adams best man at his last wedding. Adams had only been married a few months. Adams was also under indictment for manslaughter in regards to the death of his girlfriend in April 2000. She and Adams were partying at home when he gave her GHB to mix in with her alcohol. She fell unconscious and never came out. When she was found, Adams was unconscious as well, but due only to alcohol and not GHB as he claims. He claims that they both used GHB and he passed out, during the time which she was still awake and functioning. However, forsenic experts have noted that if this was the case, Adams would not have been so quick to awake just a couple of hours later and there is strong evidence that after the girl was unconscious and dying, sexual intercourse had taken place.




Another subject... am I the only one that thinks the ECW heavyweight belt is cursed? Look at all their past heavy weight champs and see where they are now. Mike Awesome the most dominant was lost in WCW and totally ignored in WWF. Tazz has accomplished NOTHING as well, Raven, Justin Credible, Sandman, etc... have been bottom feeders as well. Is this Vince's way of showing eveyrone that he always felt the ECW was an inferior product??? The ones who never held the heavyweight belt have fared remarkably well. RVD, Tajiri, Dudley Boys, Lance Storm, etc..

Tajiri and Lance Storm have fared remarkably well? Storm had a decent short run in WCW, but so did Raven. I don't think any of them have been standouts.

Well..I met Chris jerico this weekend.

Rhyno is going to do well in the WWF. He still has the ECW strap. He keeps it at his brother's house. They'll be introducing in into the WWF once he's healthy.

Mike Awesome is, well..... awesome. The guy is a beast and I have always liked his style. I thought he'd be getting a huge push when he jumped Rhyno for the HC strap on Raw. I just found out yesterday that he is related to Hulk Hogan. Awesome and Horace Hogan started out in the business together and are cousins. I hope he gets a push when he returns.

THe Rock and Rikishi are cousins.

How tall was he in person? Was he wearing big ass boots? I take it you saw his band, Fozzy. I remember you saying he's a bad singer in some other thread.

Yep. Six Speed is the band that becomes Fozy when Jerico is around. He was wearing platform shoes and was about 5'10" or so. Big dude though. Probably about 215, which is big on someone who is about 5'7" w/o the shoes.

That's cool that you got to meet him.

Was he cool or an assclown?

Very cool. I asked him how it felt to be the one telling Ric Flair what to do since he's the man. He thought that was funny as shit. Very down to earth.

who is Chris Adams? what wrestler was he?

who is Chris Adams? what wrestler was he?

He was big in the Texas wrestling area. Trained Stone Cold. After leaving th Texas area he served three months in jail for headbutting a pilot who refused to serve him any more alcohol.

Now get this, lets take a look at all the people from the World Class Championship Wrestling federation who are dead.

MIke von erich
David Von Erich
Kerry Von Erich (texas tornado)
Chris von erich
Gino Hernandez
Bruiser Brody
Buzz Sawyer
Rick Rude
Terry Gordy
Eddie gilbert

Damn, that area has a curse on it.


My Loser of the Year Award goes to Lex Luger. He won last year too as well as the year before and the year before that and so on.... Dumb ass has been given more major pushes than a blonde hooker's head and he keeps fumbling the ball. He just can't cut the mustard when it comes to being a main event player. WCW built him up to take over when Flair (praise be unto him) left for the WWF. Luger scored the pinfall using a piledriver over Windham for the title and couldn't hold it due to the fact fans were falling asleep during his matches, fled to the WBF because he was still under contract with WCW and couldn't legally wrestle for the WWF. Joined WWF and was built up to take the title from Yokozune, but smartly the office changed its mind. Fled WWF to WCW where he teamed with/against/with Sting, built up for showdown against Hogan, lost, thrown in various nWo cliques, floundered, joined the Millionaires club, floundered, joined Ric's Magnificent Seven as silent player, but nothing became of that. Overall just a basic loser.


Now what is up with the Big Show? They have been giving him a variety of people to tag team with. First it was Billy Gunn (the team could have been called The Big Ass), Had Hardcore Holly for a few weeks, then it was Spike Dudley who looked absolutely ridiculous in that unitard. Made me want to beat the shit out of him myself. Who is next?

 

[gymtime]

Totally (npi) agree on Luger. One of the most overrated wrestlers off all time. He's all body and strength, no talent or even athletic ability at all. How can you even pretend to be a wrestler when you're barely flexible enough to pick your own nose? If it hadn't been for Sting, Luger would not have lasted as long as he did.

no athletic talent?? what do you call "legitimately" putting the Big Show (giant back in WCW) in a torture rack??

I call that one hell of a strong dude. I never said the guy wasn't strong as hell. But that doesn't mean he could perform as a wrestler. He was barely flexible enough to throw a punch.
