July 24, 20168 yr comment_210682 Ed Schultz, from Fargo in camp as a qb in the Dieter Brock days, but did ok after that "He was the host of The Ed Show, a weekday news talk program on MSNBC, and The Ed Schultz Show, a talk radio show, nationally syndicated by Dial Global" Was the Rock ever a Bomber?

Don't think so- he was at a Stampeder training camp trying out as a linebacker, was cut and was so low that he considered suicide.
July 24, 20168 yr comment_210778 I remember one game at home where Donaldson blew up McMannus on a DB blitz. Good times. Mitch Running, half a season of great receiving in 1998, then zippo. Adam Boomer.

I don't think that's how it went down... I believe I read somewhere that it was a mutual agreement b/c he wanted to get into wrestling... unfortunately I don't have a link, but if you have one for your story I'd love to read it... Wonder how things worked out for this "Rock" fellow... Also, fun fact... b/c his father is Canadian, he has duel citizenship and would qualify as a national by today's standards...

His agent called Wally and asked them to release him so he could pursue wrestling. Wally didn't have a problem with that so he granted their request. It was also 2 months into the season, not in training camp. http://vancouversun.com/news/staff-blogs/the-rocks-diss-reverberates-through-cfl Edited July 25, 20168 yr by bigg jay
July 25, 20168 yr comment_210919 Bombers could use a guy with an attitude like K.D. Williams right now. Quote His CFL experience transcended the game. "The people in Canada are docile," Williams says. "You have to show their homes respect by taking off your shoes and being humble and courteous. But when you're on that field, they don't care if you lose your mind." There, puritanical values don't spill onto the playing field. There are no rules against "excessive" celebration. "They loved me up there, dawg," he says. "I talked trash, wouldn't help people off the ground. When they would ask for help, I'd push 'em back down." http://espn.go.com/espn/magazine/archives/news/story?page=magazine-19991115-article39

I've definitely seen/heard him tell slightly different variations of his story before. He wasn't happy, that much is consistent at least. He tweeted back & forth with Buono a couple years ago - thanked him for being a mentor & giving him optimism at a very low point in his life.

More trivia: "The Rock" was not his first wrestling persona. He started out as a new-age/Polynesian kind of shtick wearing multi-coloured feathers but I cannot recall his stage name.
July 25, 20168 yr comment_210937 Flex Kavana was his 1st gimmick. Then he went by Rocky Maivia before becoming The Rock.
July 25, 20168 yr comment_210963 Is Rocky Johnson really Canadian? I did not know that, and I followed wrestling very closely when the Rock came on the scene. Don't remember Flex Kavana, but remember Rocky Maivia, nephew of The High Chief, Peter Maivia and son of Rocky Johnson...
