Ive never seen the attention given to wrestling by mainstream media with Rodman in WCW in 97 and 98 except for Mike Tyson. But with Tyson, the WWE always reminds young viewers how huge of a deal Tyson at Wrestlemania was (and it definitely was). Yet, they never mention Rodman showing up on Nitro and skipping practice for the NBA Finals. Probably the only time in history you have Michael Jordan commenting on wrestling.

Malone was more than passable in BATB, he would have looked amazing if he had someone across from him that could work with him, bump for him and make him look good. I know he put in a ton of work to be able to work well. If Dennis hadn’t been hungover for that match i think it would have been really fondly remembered because they were both athletic big men who looked smooth when performing wrestling maneuvers and they both had taken time to learn a couple moves each. Malone obviously learned several more moves than Rod, with the sheer amount of time he had spent in the Power Plant training with DDP.

If you think about it, Rodman had two jobs. He did wrestling for fun and for a lot money. Even though he was making way more money than guys who had been for 5-10 years stuck in the mid-card/upper mid-card status I can't blame him for missing practice for collecting that $1 million check that night, and wrestling. I believe Dennis Rodman is the only professional athlete in the history of the NBA to make appearances on a wrestling show, in the middle of the Eastern Conference Finals/NBA Finals game series. If you think about that for a minute, that's a hell of an accomplishment. No NBA player since Rodman has ever come along and done that. Dennis Rodman not telling Phil he's missing practice was hilarious to me. It was also hilarious to me when Michael Jordan actually went to Rodman's hotel room to wake him up to come in for practice. Imagine that a grown man not showing up for a huge practice, and the G.O.A.T. MJ getting him up for practice. I'm pretty sure that's not part of Michael Jordan's job description hahahaha. Rodman was awesome, ahead of his time way before social media became a thing.
