Re: A little bit of everything
Don't get me wrong, wrestlers are as tough as they come, their bodies take a ton of punishment, professional wrestling is an extremely physical thing. The chair shots are real, the bumps they take falling off cages and ladders are real, and you can't fake having thumb tacks stuck in your body. Just take Mick Foley for… -
Re: A little bit of everything
PART III STEVE YOUNG IS sitting in his Palo Alto office and thinking about why Montana would do it all over again, and why he would, too. There's football memorabilia everywhere on the walls and shelves. The market closes in less than five minutes. As financial news scrolls across a huge screen, he searches for the right… -
Re: A little bit of everything
The most extreme thing I've ever seen in a wrestling ring, in fact, the most extreme thing I've ever seen in sports history period, happened in March of 2000 at ECW Living Dangerously, when the wrestler New Jack legitimately tried to kill Vic Grimes and disguise it as a wrestling accident. New Jack was crazy, he's by far… -

It's time for a funny sports story. It's almost hard to believe that this actually happened, but it did, the famous 1994 Cleveland Indians corked bat caper, this is like something out of Mission Impossible. This incident happened in 1994, at a game between the White Sox and Indians, the Chicago White Sox manager Gene… -

If you haven't seen the film "The Eiger Sanction" starring Clint Eastwood, I would highly recommend it. They went to Switzerland and filmed some of it at the Eiger itself, and the mountain is so damn dangerous that a member of the production crew was actually killed while filming it, he was a climber named David Knowles,… -

Martin "Farmer" Burns, one of the best catch-as-catch can wrestlers to ever live, and that basically means before wrestling was scripted, when it was actual real wrestling, the pioneering days of wrestling from the late 1890s to early 1900s. Many people consider Burns to be the father of American wrestling. I've heard and… -

Green Bay Packers linebacker Ray Nitschke was one of the most vicious, hard hitting, and feared players during his time, he was mean as hell on the field, but nice as could be off of it. He was also tough as leather, he would not come out of a game no matter how bad he was banged up. There's a famous incident that happened… -

The thing about Everest is, there are reminders all over the mountain of how dangerous it is, there are a number of ways to die on a mountain, a nasty slip or fall, hypoxia, storms, avalanches, they're all killers on mountains and there are grisly reminders all over the mountain. -
Re: A little bit of everything
The Matterhorn actually has a tragic story to it, most mountains do, but it was first climbed in 1865 by Edward Whymper and six companions. When they were descending the mountain, they were all tied together by a single rope, and the rope broke, causing four climbers to fall to their deaths. The rope snapped between the… -
Re: A little bit of everything
This is one of my favorite fights of all-time and it showcases why boxers are the toughest athletes, David Tua vs Ikea Ibeabuchi, 1997. The possibility of dying in the ring be damned, each man refused to back down to the other's brutality. It made for some real Thrilla in Manila type chit. It was a clash of unbeaten…
