Unfortunately, playing on an overseas casino means trusting your money with a foreign company. Luckily, for those in Canada, a quick browse on Mega Moolah Slot at WiserGamblers Canada will reveal that there are many casinos for Canada based players which payout quickly.
Here are the highlights:
Learning what happened to Owen Hart: Well, I’m sad to say that I wasn’t around him more than what I was. He’s legendary with his ribbing and the guys. He’s legendary just from a positive personality that he brings to the locker room. All that being said before you even get to the fact that he was an excellent worker.
I know it was one of the, if not the darkest days, in the history of our business. I was home, I was working for WCW at the time, and I had cut on that pay-per-view, and I was, for whatever reason, watching it, which I normally didn’t buy pay-per-view, but I bought that one. I was kind of in and out and doing stuff out in the garage and I think on the deck or whatever and just half-assed watching it. But I came in, and it was just — the timing was terrible because there was just the announce team was sitting there, and they were just laying out.
They weren’t saying anything. I want to say it was Jerry Lawler. I looked at his face, and his face just said it all. I mean, it looked like he had just seen a ghost and a legitimate ghost. And it was just the looks on the announcer’s faces for that brief time before anybody said anything told me something bad had happened. Now, I had no idea of how bad it could be.
Wrestlers not thinking they will die in the ring: But then I started watching more and more and more, and my phone started ringing and guys were calling me saying, ‘God, any chance you’re watching the pay-per-view? The WWF pay-per-view? da-da-da-da-da-dah. Something bad has happened.’ And then I started to get the word and man, it’s just one of those things that you just — you knew it was possible, but you put it so far in the back of your head that somebody could actually lose their life in the ring.
I mean every one of us that go to the ring that are smart enough to know on any day you could get hurt, on any day you could get crippled. I don’t think any of us put in the back of our head, ‘Any day you go to the ring, you can die.’ I know that I didn’t go that far in my thinking.
And man, it was just a really, really, really dark day, and we lost day one of the good guys of the business as far as the friend he was to the guys, the performer he was for the audience and the family member, husband, father, all those things, the positive things that you can be. I guess just from talking to other people he was really a favorite of a lot of the guys. So, it was a terrible day.
