in fact, wasn't that standard protocol for dealing with people who didn't want to cooperate? stretch the shit out of them and let them know what could happen to them if they didn't behave themselves? I believe that's part of the problem with guys like Goldturd, they come up without proper education from the veterans and think they know everything.
yeah, he can go back and point to that year or so he had on top, but if he'd had the proper training and experience, he could've lasted a lot longer. (Austin is a good example of that. he learned how to work the crowds and didn't rely on one thing for too long.) Goldturd never learned how to anything but his one thing. when that got old and nobody cared anymore he was lost.
