    I love The Hammer. He has always been one of my favorite heels of all time. I was fortunate enough to meet with him and I told him face to face. That was nice. Also I'm looking at him here and I can see he made alot of money over the years and still has it. That Gold chain is nice and thick and the Rolex and ring are not cheap either and I know a little bit about clothing and I can tell his jacket is Custom Made and that Purple Blazer cost a Mint too. Glad to see him looking and dressing and still feeling like a Million Bucks ,while so many of my other Heroes are either dead or broke. I'm glad Greg The Hammer Valentine is not one of them. Many more Blessings to you Greg and Julie. Peace brother.

      @@CP-kb1du I believe sid visious revealed that the wall was gimmicked but they put an actual 2x4 that was not made to break away about shin high. Sid said he pointed it out to people and they said it was fine. The shock master was not told about this and went through the wall that was made to come down except the board that didn't break. Sid also backs this story up by telling that when it happened you can hear him say I fuckin told you off camera. So dogging out the poor big guy for that is tough in my opinion. He had to go through the wall full speed to make it look good. But hitting an actual support would stop anyone

    This explains why he ruined his gimmick in WCW as The Shockmaster, because he fell asleep while waiting to emerge and embarrassed himself and became a comic character, but narcolepsy probably caused this because Fred Ottman played both characters.
