None of the above.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:02 AM
In special cases like this, I’d have to go with Ted DiBiase.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:03 AM
Tony Schiavone.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:05 AM
If I had money, I’d gladly put any one of them in charge of it.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:05 AM
A Ted DiBiase reference at 905? A record, for sure.
What obscure wrestler will Imig come up with?
May 15th, 2008 at 9:07 AM
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
May 15th, 2008 at 9:09 AM
Imig has to pick his head up off his Wrestling Buddy and wipe the sleep from his eyes before he can make any obscure references.

it’s early, but we actually have a close race here.
no stern today on the radio, so giving the TK show a shot. it’s not bad, but he’s talking about horse racing.

The Million Dollar Man ruled: “If you don’t do the job, you don’t get paid.” MDM offered a kid 100 bucks to dribble a basketball 10 times. The kid got to 9, and MDM kicked the ball away and refused to pay him, all while dropping his signature line. Sweet.
And you have to pick Nails. If you read the recent article about his kid playing baseball, Nails was sitting in his Maybach, checking stocks on his computer while watching the game. That is the guy I want.

Johnny Rodz – obscure enough?
All I know is that the Nature Boy has bought and paid for three trophy wives and is still solvent and has liquidity. And he could have a 60-minute four-star match in any sold-out arena with a broom (provided the broom was willing to sell).

If the Brooklyn Brawler gave stock tips I would be all over that shit
May 15th, 2008 at 9:18 AM
Bobo Brazil. Look it up.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:18 AM
Wild Card: Jumpin’ Jim Brunzell. May as well go with a guy who is actually a financial planner.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:19 AM
Ric Flair is a stylin’, profilin’, limousine riding, jet flying, kiss-stealing, wheelin’ n’ dealin’ son of a gun! You don’t get there without some financial acumen. He’ll take your investment, put it in the figure four and not let go until it coughs up money.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:20 AM
And may I add: WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
May 15th, 2008 at 9:21 AM
definitely not flair, but Irwin R Shyster (IRS), definitely.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:22 AM
Gotta go with Bradshaw. Not JBL, though – the Acolyte-era Bradshaw.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:24 AM
Lenny has some good option trading insights on TheStreet.com

Brown’s thesis for owning Microsoft was awesome.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:30 AM
@Sparty – Irwin R. Shyster, LOL…that’s a good one. We went to wrestling one time in high school, and as we were walking through the arena parking lot a limo pulled up with Shyster in it (or maybe he was Mike Rotunda at the time). When he got out, we started talking shit to him. He comes back with “Oh yeah? Buy a ticket, you moron!” It was the worst come back I’ve ever heard from anyone in the history of the earth. And I am not big on hyperbole whatsoever.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:30 AM
@Nick: Well, it’s lower now than it’s been in a while. Buy, buy, buy!!!!!
May 15th, 2008 at 9:30 AM
Had forgotten about this guy. There was a Brutus the Barber Beefcake mention a day or two ago. I was always a fan of the Birdman, Koko B Ware
May 15th, 2008 at 9:35 AM
I would let both Ax and Smash of Demolition handle my stocks…but Crush sucks..stupid 3 man tag team
May 15th, 2008 at 9:36 AM
Thread jack!
I watched Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead last night and I am shocked that this movie didn’t get more love at the box office. Chock full of stars and some great acting. Bonus was Marisa Tomei being topless for about half the movie.
I highly recommend this movie.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:39 AM
@TBL
I could go all crazy Hulkamania days with the names I remember. Strike Force was my favorite tag team, Tito Santana and Rick Martel.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:41 AM
pki: Is Marisa Tomei topless still a good thing? I’m not being sarcastic, I really want to know. It’s not 1993 anymore.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:42 AM
St. Bear: She’s still got it.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:45 AM
@st. bear
It has been all downhill for her since she almost got together with George Constanza.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:45 AM
Marissa Tomei still looks good
May 15th, 2008 at 9:45 AM
I’d go down her hill.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:47 AM
The last movie I remember seeing her in she was a Starbucks chick or something like it in What Women Want. um, the wife’s choice (sheepish)
May 15th, 2008 at 9:49 AM
Semi-funny story – we were at a bar in State College after a football game a couple of years ago and this girl at the bar wore a gigantic belt with a large, gold S-shaped buckle. My friend went up to her and asked her if she got it from Ted DiBiase. He then proceeded to pull out a bunch of dollar bills, throw them at her a la Million Dollar Man, and then laid down on the table and stuffed one of the bills down his throat like DiBiase/Virgil used to do.
We were then asked to leave.

How can you not go with Ric Flair?
Too be the man, you have to beat the man.
May 15th, 2008 at 9:57 AM
If you don’t like Ric Flair’s advice…Arn Anderson may want to have a word with you…the Enforcer indeed
May 15th, 2008 at 10:01 AM
RWH,
the 4 Horsemen is the greatest wrestling stable ever.
May 15th, 2008 at 10:02 AM
sparty, you’re so punny!
May 15th, 2008 at 10:02 AM
If I were to take financial advice from any former wrestler, it would’ve been The Fabulous Moolah. RIP
May 15th, 2008 at 10:06 AM
+1 roeth
i forgot about Virgil and the putting money down the throat
LOL
May 15th, 2008 at 10:17 AM
Wife said it was awesome, but i missed it.
this should have been videotaped. incredible
May 15th, 2008 at 10:20 AM
Barry Horowitz… so that whenever he made a good stock pick he could pat himself on the back. Thats a WCW reference for you fools
May 15th, 2008 at 10:46 AM
I have heard that Dykstra is now a billionaire due to his financial advice. Is this true, has anyone else heard this????
May 15th, 2008 at 10:51 AM
+ 1 Magglio and Brave
@JohnnyB–I don’t know if Dykstra’s a billionaire, but the New Yorker profile from a while back implies he is doing quite well
May 15th, 2008 at 11:23 AM
I get my financial advice from Jimmy “Superfly” Snuka
May 15th, 2008 at 11:38 AM
@JohnnyB- billionaire might be stretching it, but the guy is far from having to worry about paying his mortgage.
Oh, and you gotta go with The Rock as your financial counselor, if for no other reason than the fact that his ex-wife works on Wall Street. I’m sure he picked up a tip or three on financial planning from her somewhere along the way.

Crush won’t be giving anyone financial advice. He’s taking the eternal dirt nap.
