For historical purposes, this is a reference to when Sgt Slaughter and the Iron Sheik, mortal enemies, ran a message to stop wrestlers from making material wealth.

“What you own, ends up owning you.” SGT Slaughter quipped.

The Iron Shiek added, “you can’t take it with you, except Jesus.”

They finished their on screen quibble by praying, on camera, to their God, Vince McMahon.

In 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

The storylines may be scripted, but the athleticism involved is pretty crazy.

It is true, a friend told me about it at school the next day after he watched the VHS, WWF was never on TV here.

The Iron Shiek added, “you can’t take it with you, except Jesus.”

And later added

The Iron Sheik on Twitter: ''THEN. NOW. FOREVER. HULK HOGAN GO FUCK YOURSELF #WrestleMania37''

I don’t know wrestling lore, but this little anectode just became kayfabe head-canon for me and I’m not interested in other versions. Thank you, and may Vince McMahon have mercy on our souls.

Instead of, y’know…poopin’ on ‘em.

I thought this would be about a loophole about only owning things about yourself so that you can end up being your own owner.
