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" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted February 20, 2003 Bret, Shawn, and Vince at the same place? Yikes... Little suprised that more MN wrestlers didn't show up, just the Ganges and Brock Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bravesfan Report post Posted February 20, 2003 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Anglesault Report post Posted February 20, 2003 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Rob Edwards Report post Posted February 20, 2003 Isn't Kevin Wacholz the guy who played 'Nailz'. I'm suprised him and Vince were in the same place 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Instead of the little funeral program thing, they got a questionaire asking them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
