10 Wrestling Road Stories That Defy Reality
They're equal parts comedic anecdote and eye-opening cautionary tale, and damn it, they're all so compelling...
4. He Fights Clean
Chances are you've heard variants of this story at some point, because quite frankly it's just too silly not to share. The scene was an Atlanta hotel bar in the fall of 1991, by which time Psycho Sid Vicious Justice had left WCW to jump to WWE. At the time, Sid was mending from an arm injury and happened to be in town, where he caught up with some old colleagues at that bar. In the room were Brian Pillman and Mike Graham, with whom Sid had some prior heat with.
Some accounts claim that Pillman and Sid's altercation got a bit physical, while others say it was just words and threats being exchanged. But virtually everyone who tells the story remembers what happened next: Sid left the bar, and returned...armed with a squeegee. You know, the rubber-bladed tool used to clean windshields and the like. As the stories go, Pillman and his WCW brethren laughed Sid out of the bar, because c'mon, it's a squeegee. It's not nearly as intimidating as, say for instance, an ice cube.
