Patrick Mahomes got friend-zoned more than once by Brittany Mahomes in high school 😅
He admitted he tried to take things further a couple of times but it didn’t work.
They stayed friends, kept building, and eventually turned it into something real.
@WrestlingNewsCo@GoingRingside Kamala worked on top vs Hogan and made a killing doing it
Not WWE’s fault dude and many others blew through all their money
Shane Douglas on the @GoingRingside podcast called it "unforgivable" that Kamala died in a house with no electricity and no legs after helping build the wrestling industry, and pointed to the WWE's $9.4 billion sale as proof the business can afford to take care of its veterans.
"Kamala, the Ugandan Giant, was extremely instrumental in getting Hogan over in the beginning. That big monster foe for Hogan to play with, both Saturday Night Main Event and WrestleMania. He was part of the wheel that made that work that they're still making money on today."
"After he left wrestling, he drove semi trucks for years and years. Then with diabetes, he started losing toes, feet, up to the knees. When that man died, James Harris was living in a house with no electricity and no legs. That is unforgivable for my sport. Unforgivable."
Douglas said the problem extends beyond Kamala and applies to many veterans who spent decades on the road with no safety net. He used the late Sabu as another example, noting Sabu was still wrestling shortly before his death after more than 40 years in the business.
"After 40 plus years on the road with no off season, how much money has Sabu made? One thing you cannot say about any wrestler that's been on the road for 40 years is they're lazy. Anybody else in any job, after 40 years, I would have the base of a minimum safety net."
Douglas pointed to the financial reality of the industry: "The Boston Celtics sold for a record $6.1 billion. WWE sold for $9.4 billion, which is 50 percent higher. If Major League Baseball, NBA, NHL, NFL can all afford to do it, don't tell me that my industry that sold 50 percent higher can't do the same thing. To be fair, a lot of us wouldn't need it. But there are those that do need it."
Douglas also called Sabu a "transformative figure" in wrestling and pushed back on critics who dismiss him as a spot monkey: "He didn't just hit spots. He didn't just speed up and do more and more. Everything led to the next thing. Everything was sequential. It made sense. It fit like a glove."
"I think people like Sabu made ECW."
