Jerry Only on WCW

Legendary Bassist (and current singer) of The Misfits, Jerry Only referred to his WCW appearance during a recent interview. He didn't share any good memories of the promotion or wrestling in general:

"People think the music industry is the most cutthroat, but they’re wrong. But, yeah, man, [the WCW] were complete jokes. They didn't even have health insurance for these guys. They had me going on between Sting and Goldberg, and, you know, I didn’t know what the hell I was doing. But Goldberg, he's making eight million dollars a year and they didn't even have an X-ray machine or anything. I was in a steel cage match in Dallas fighting Dr. Death and I didn't have my contacts in or anything so I couldn't see the door. Death throws me into the cage and my head goes right between the ropes and I see the door, but I smack my head pretty hard against the metal. I was backstage, looking like Carrie, all covered in blood, and I ask one of the guys: 'All right, where's the guy so he can sew me up?' And they just look and me and say, 'There is no guy.'"

NOTE: All members of The Misfits had a short WCW run back in 1999. The match Jerry Only refers to, was on November 29th in Nitro. Only won by "escaping" the cage (in fact he was Irish-whipped through the door by a blinded Dr. Death) thanks to the interference of the rest of the band.
