professional wrestling may be the most ancient sport

putting character tropes against each other to tell a story via fighting :manny: if wrestling wanted to, they could go back to the way it was but its a giant leap of faith that fans can suspend decades of disbelief

this man wouldn't make sense in 2020 wrestling

David Schults


"Although he has consistently maintained that World Wrestling Federation officials told him to hit Stossel, Schultz was fired. Many industry insiders believe, it was not because of his actions against Stossel, rather, Schults was fired for challenging Mr. T to a fight backstage at a WWF show at Madison Square Garden."



Vince literally tried to protect him from that slap by sending him to Japan and paying his legal fees. It was the fight with Mr T, and the fact that he planned on shooting on Hogan to win the title that got him fired.

People in that industry saw him as a hero for that slap.

I found an interview where he disputed the Mr T story.He says he was fired by Vince because he wouldnt sign an affidavit claiming he was solely responsible for slapping Stossel...He was told by the company he WOULD be fired if he fought Tee.Thats from his own words.

He's claimed multiple reasons for his termination, all contradicting each other.

He claimed that he was hog tied by the police and had guns pointed at him for the Mr T incident, which he blamed for his firing. Then he changed it to not taking responsibility for the slap, then changed it to the planned shoot with Hogan.

Hes come up with many different reasons for his termination, but the people around at that time says that it was the mr t incident, and that he was a hero for the slap.
