Talked with Stephanie herself through email when I was explaining the project and asking for info, she was really helpful (she had to do a similar project a year before and used Trump). I'll always have a soft spot for the company after that.
    Same here regarding the first line.

    That's cool about your school project. I thought Stephanie was really hot back around that time.

    Me too, so I was super-boosted that it was her that responded. I guess whoever gets those random emails thought it was interesting and passed it along, she said someone on the PR side of things sent it to her because it reminded her of the project Stephanie had to do. She had the connections to get help from Trump himself, but she thought it would be cool to be able to give the same kind of help to just a random student. It was so hard not to ask her 1,000 questions.

    Have you seen her recently? I think she's gotten better with age!

    Scott Hall was one of my favorites. Shame what has happened to him. The whole NWO angle was brilliant. The inception and the first year or so building to Sting vs Hogan at Starcade '97.

    Culminating with one of the greatest letdowns of a match in wrestling history.

    No doubt about that. Match wasn't good and then Hogan not putting Sting over clean and subsequently stripping him of the title was was horrible. All down hill from there.



    BTW found the Punk Cena MITB match online recently and watched it. That was one hell of a match. Great atmosphere and terrific match.

    Yeah, she's still smoking hot. There was always something about her for me, I just think she's gorgeous.

    Me too. Her body seems oddly shaped, but she is just beautiful. There are some shots on Google of just her face, and you're right, she's gorgeous. Add in her, um, assets, and Triple H is a lucky man!

    Yeah, Scott Hall was my favorite as well. I remember him making us crack up at some point on virtually every show.

    The Scott Hall piece was very well done, very powerful. It's amazing how bad things have gotten for him. He said he's taking 11 prescription medications and has a pacemaker. He never made reference to trying to get sober or being sober, so I'm assuming he's still drinking. He seemed to be very honest and forthright about things.

    It would be great to see him get it together. Also interesting to note he has a 20 year old son that was shown wrestling with him on the independent circuit.

    He also shot and killed a man when he was 25 in a fight outside a strip club. The other guy was the one who had the gun, Hall got it and shot him, and the case was ultimately thrown out. I had never heard about that.

    I'm not sure if E60 can be watched online or on demand anywhere, but I'd absolutely recommend it for any past or present fan of wrestling.

    Yeah, that was a very good and depressing piece on Hall.

    The piece on Willis was really good as well.

    That was definitely tough to watch, I had never heard that story about him shooting a guy either.

    His father told him he would slip.

    Everyone in his family was an addict...and yet he still did it anyway.

    Unreal.
