Hi everybody. My husband is a <blush> big time wrestling fan (yes he
knows its fake- he still finds it entertaining) and when I forwarded him
the post on Hulk's "cripple" comment, gave me the following info:

According to the boards, Buff " the alleged cripple" Bagwell was seen
several days before to be up and about signing autographs without braces
and wheelchair or crutches. He's fine. It was a stunt to have Bagwell turn
good. Hogan/Eric Bischoff is setting this up. This has been done several
times before with "injured wrestlers".

Now if that makes any sense to you, great...bear in mind that Hulk Hogan
used to be a good guy and cared about all his little "Hulksters" before
they turned him into Hollywood Hogan...and I suppose this means he does
not realy hate people with disablities but is just pretending to hate Buff
Bagwell for pretending to be a "cripple". (???) I'm still offended and
still think the whole thing is stupid, but FWIW... Well I'm glad I have a
passing acquaintance with the whole wrestling scene, it's handy when you
need to relate to pre-adolescent boys (as well as spouses.)
