Posted December 7, 200519 yr comment_4087637 http://s37.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2AKCJNZ...T92RK6DLZLYDE3D This is, quite simply, a must-read. I don't know what the best part of the article is -- the fascinating details about Eddy's training, the way he was taught to throw a worked punch, the quotes about him from Rock, Konnan and Chris Jericho, the admission from Jericho that he and Eddy used to get together after shows and do GHB back in WCW, Eddy being told that he had the back of a 70-year old and being told he should retire last year, Paul Heyman's proposed booking for Eddy and Benoit in both ECW and WCW, the surprising Steve Austin mention ... this is the best thing I think Meltzer has ever done.
December 7, 200519 yr comment_4087690 The last six weeks or so has been the best the Observer Newsletter has ever been. This was just an amazing read. He gets a lot of crap, but Dave is a fantastic writer and storyteller when he wants to be. I love the ending with Steve Austin, that was a really cool way to close it out.
December 8, 200519 yr comment_4090283 I agree. That was an excellent article. His work on Candido was also first rate. Da Meltz does take a lot of crap but his work lately has been excellent, no doubt about it. Even the jaded cynics club over a tOa have been off his back lately.
December 8, 200519 yr comment_4092249 Just read it. What a wonderful piece. The Austin bit at the end gave me goosebumps. A perfect way to close out the article.
