To be fair, Ric Flair has a lisp too. It's not a problem if you're talented. The problem is that Kanyon wasn't really talented beyond mid-card level. His entertainment factor was based on his gimmick of doing bizarre move variations and that was basically his ceiling.I honestly don't doubt any of the stories. I'm sure he was told to "sing like a F****" during the Boy George sketch. I just don't know why "Kanyon" is being highlighted in a documentary, as if he was anything more than a forgettable mid-carder, or had the potential to be anything more than that. Dude had a lisp. The ceiling is low.

Flair's lisp is almost as strong as Dusty's. It also seemed to get stronger with age.Flair? Sure you're not thinking of Duthsthy?

Weird. I hear it extremely strong. Almost Dusty levels. The S in particular. "That's right i thsaid it!!!"I don't hear it. Slightly I guess, but if it's there, he's worked on it quite a bit. He's sticking the landing on those T's and S's pretty good.

That would explain why i thought it's gotten stronger over time. The majority of Flair promos i've heard were from the 90's, so it may very well be that my mind just retroactively interpreted the lisp onto his 70's promos later. Considering Flair is a degenerate alcoholic he might just have been slurring because he's drunk or because he has a toothache he is trying to talk around of.I can slightly hear it, but I don't believe it's natural. I certainly don't remember it being prevalent throughout his career. Seems like a bit of a side effect from partying too hard for decades. Ex-heroin addicts get that sloppy speech impediment too.
How in the blue hell can they push this Vince hates homos narrative so hard when Pat Patterson was a thing?
I think you mean "when Vince pegging HBK was a thing".
Wait what?I think you mean "when Vince pegging HBK was a thing".
Wait what?
Explains why Vince hates the gays.Rumor and innuendo from back in the day was the HBK was Vince's gay lover.
Vince and Shawn Michaels being lovers in the 90s. It's the only explanation for Shawn being able to get away with so much despite not being a draw.Wait what?
People try to say it was the Flatliner, but that was Nova.So no one can actually name even one single move kanyon innovated
So innovator means one move?People try to say it was the Flatliner, but that was Nova.
Half his shit was stolen for Nova.
Just means he had friends who can drive a narrative.So innovator means one move?
