Schultz didn't give a damn and he did everything he could to protect the business. That slap cost him his career, sadly. I think, to this day, he still despises Hogan. If you watch the A&E Biography on him, you'll see what I mean. The man was one of the legit toughest SOB's in the business.

A bad move on Stossel and Shultze. Stossel should have went " many people say wrestling is fake , what do you say to those comments...." something like that. instead ,didn't he just come on and say , "i think wrestling is fake!!! He wasn't very forward thinking for a professional. On the other hand , DR. D shouldn't have clocked him like that .It didn't make him look tough specially because of the size difference and Stossel not being a fighter or athlete. Plus, he was pretty much out of the business after that incident , or was in the minor leagues after that .

@@ericredelman2568 No, I'm going by what other professional wrestlers who were directly involved in those incidents and completely run contrary to what Gene's versions of events were. He said that the Rougeaus played ribs on the bulldogs, when it actually started as a result of Curt Hennig playing a rib on the Rougeaus and the bulldogs getting blamed for it as they were notorious ribbers. Then Tom Billington fronted on Jaques as a result, and it was Jaques alone, not with his brother that got advice from his golden gloves champion father to hold a roll of quarters that knocked out dynamite kid's "chompers". Gene completely has a bad memory as many others can attest to what I just stated. What else, he couldn't remember the Mountie gimmick and said "sergeant Jaques". That is factually wrong. Also the slap heard around the world incident is on film, I didn't need to be there to see it. Mean Gene recounted it wrong. You can easily look this up yourself. You obviously haven't heard the testimonies of those involved other than Gene's versions, otherwise it would have stood out as incorrect. FWI I'm also not just some goofy wrestling fan like yourself, I was trained by the late great Billy Robinson at the well renowned Wigan snake pit Known many professional wrestlers throughout the years and people involved in the business, you don't know what you're talking about small fry.

With all due respect to Mean By God Gene, May he RIP, but I’m calling bullshit on his recall of the Schultz/Stossel incident. Stossel did NOT say to Shultz “what do you think of the people that say wrestling is fake?” He said to Schultz, “I think it’s fake.” During a time when talent was ordered by their bosses to protect the business at all costs. Right or wrong, that’s just the way it was

You can tell by his recounting of the incident that he was going off his personal memory of the situation and hadn’t gone back and rewatched the clip multiple times like many of us have. Which explains the discrepancies and also shows why eyewitness testimony is not considered very reliable in a court of law because of how different one event can be recalled by different people who witnessed it.
