Don't get me wrong though, I have no problem with a wrestler teaching some respect, but there are better ways, like stretching them with snug submission holds for example. We all remember what Regal did to Goldberg on Nitro, right? That's all you need. Just enough punishment to let them know who's boss without leaving any scars or injuries.

So DDP screws up and...once again...Hardcore is blamed
Where in that quote did I blame Holly?

Cheers,

In reply to mercer - there is a very clear line between "training" and "abuse." It all depends on the motive.
Take Stu Hart as an example of a harsh taskmaster. Did he cause pain? Hell yeah. Did he injure his students? Not according to what any of them said on Confidential. Pain and injury are two very different things.
On the other side of the line you have bullies who try to "teach respect" to kids who "haven't paid their dues." Holly's own comments reveal that his purpose is not to give the rookies some tough love - it's to punish them for having it easier than he did.
Wrestlers *have* to trust each other. They put their lives in each other's hands. There are some things that they simply cannot do, and deliberately causing injury is one of them.
I'd like to give Holly the benefit of the doubt, but if I were booking, I would keep him away from the rookies.
I know wrestlers have to trust each other, as i said im a trainee and almost a wrestler now, so i know this. What i was referring to was the Matt Cappatelli injury from TE3. I thought it was fine at the time, but with him trying to kill all the rooks now i think someone getting stiff with him is fine!
Later
God Bless

RVD? When'd he stiff people? Or would he just blow spots like Jeff Hardy?

Ah, yes, that's right. Remember that. Anyway, take him out of the proposed four-way, toss 'em in a cage, and spread blasphemous rumors amongst (and about) the remaining three to taste.
