If you liked the Andre the Giant Story about falling asleep, look up and see if Bad News Brown's site is still up and look up the story about Andre Shitting on him in a match in Mexico and Bad News left the match and said no way.
People think Kurt Angle is the only medalist legit tough guy. Bad News Brown won a Judo Medal, controversially not the gold, but the bronze, but he was a real tough dude.

I don't think he did it on purpose; I think it was one of his last matches of his career as his health was failing; it was a six man tag down in Mexico, so at least the match could finish for the fans.
That's what Sheik was telling everyone. A radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge confronted Sheik on that and dispelled the rumor. Sure enough, it turns out Sheik tried out for the Olympics in his home country, but never made it past the trials, and he did act as an Olympic coach for the USA for 2 squads in the 1970's, but no Olympic medal.
Here is a funny story by former Rocker Marty Jannetty

I found this one funny for Chris Jericho's comment on paying Sheik Royalties
