"Funeral home workers stopped counting the number of guests at Sunday's memorial service for pro wrestler Curt Hennig in Coon Rapids at 2,000. Attending were Vince McMahon and his family, Verne and Greg Gagne, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels, Bill Goldberg, Brock Lesnar, Brad Rhengans, Masa Saito, Ken Patera, Steve Olsonowski, Wayne Bloom and Kevin Wacholz"

Bret, Shawn, and Vince at the same place? Yikes...

 

Little suprised that more MN wrestlers didn't show up, just the Ganges and Brock

Brock Lesnar

 

Wasn't there two house shows on Sunday, which explained why most of Raw & Smackdown's roster were unable to make the service?

 

Admirable gesture by Lesnar, though.

 

 

EDIT: Thanks for clearing it up for me, Verne.

Isn't Kevin Wacholz the guy who played 'Nailz'.

 

I'm suprised him and Vince were in the same place

Is anyone else thankful that Bret and Shawn didn't humiliate themselves and the Hennig family there? I could so see them going at it in the middle of the eulogy.

Don't forget about the prescence of Goldberg at the service, too.

Yeah that surprised me too, I wonder if Vince was trying to make a pass at him again ;)

 

If anyone wanted proof how much of a man Curt was though this is it, any guy who can get others to put personal differences aside to pay respect to him must have had a hell of a standing

Any truth to the rumor that Mik at Cornell was at the door asking how many cared and how many were just pretending?

Instead of the little funeral program thing, they got a questionaire asking them.

Brad Rhenegis was an old AWA wrestler. He might of helped train Curt Henning but I'm entirely sure.

I remember Brad. He was an olympian and got the Ken Patera/Mark Henry/Kurt Angle olympian push.

Back when Curt was feuding with Goldberg in 98, he mentioned on TV a few times that Brad Rhenegis had been training him day in and day out and when given the chance he'd beat Goldberg on the mat and take his title.

 

Nailz was Kevin Kelly. The non-WWE color guy.

SECTION: Local/Wisconsin GREEN BAY -- A legal tussle between a professional wrestler and his former employer is scheduled to go another round next month in Brown County Circuit Court. The combatants are Kevin Wacholz, who has wrestled under the name ``Nailz,'' and Vincent McMahon, head of Titan Sports. Each man has claimed the other attacked him at the Brown County Arena in 1992

 

 

Wow The imfamous Nailz/Vince incident occured within 30 miles of me...I never knew!

Nailz used the name "'Mr. Magnificent' Kevin Kelly" in the AWA and on the indy circuit before being brought in by Vince.
