Guest Eremite Posted July 3, 2005 Posted July 3, 2005 I was watching a Protestant show on television, and they profiled Ted "The Million Dollar Man" DiBiase, former professional wrestler. Long story short, he got caught up in the entertainment life, and had a conversion, and is now a born again Christian/speaker. Former NWO frontman Sting is also a born again Christian. [quote]"I wanted God to wave a magic wand and make everything better, but my life just continued on the way it was and things got worse and worse," Borden explained. "My mistake was I thought I’d just get my fire insurance, so I would be sure I’d go to heaven, but God couldn’t work in my life because I wasn’t surrendered to Him. I needed something supernatural to happen in my life; I needed God."[/quote] [url="http://www.lifeway.com/lwc/article_main_page/0,1703,A%253D160082%2526M%253D200210,00.html"]http://www.lifeway.com/lwc/article_main_pa...D200210,00.html[/url] There was a documentary a few years ago, "Beyond The Mat", and they profiled Jake "The Snake" Roberts, and his whole life was just one big tragedy. His family life was shattered and he was addicted to drugs. Miss Elizabeth, former ring and real wife of "Macho Man" Randy Savage, was mysteriously found dead not too long ago. It's pretty sad. The entertainment industry chews people up and and uses them for whatever they have, and then spits them out, and the people involved are left to pick up the pieces, if they can at all.

DemonSlayer Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 Don't forget Bret "The Hitman" Hart's brother Owen Hart, he died while attempting an entrance stunt, and they just continued the show despite this... Current WWE wrestlers, Chris Jericho and Eddie Guererro are alo Christians (protestant).

Guest Eremite Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 The Undertaker was the man, hands down. I went to Wrestlemania XIV when he fought his brother Kane. That was one crazy storyline. Paul Bearer was Kane's daddy.
Guest Eremite Posted July 7, 2005 Posted July 7, 2005 Oh, and I mean the OLD Undertaker. The one who was actually supposed to be from Death Valley. Minus the "evil" and "dark side" gimmick, of course.
