Did you catch that one commercial with him? It was this black-and-white spot that used to run on ESPN during the World Hockey Championships a few years back. I actually knew exactly when it was coming on—I’ve even got a recording of it somewhere! 😳 😍

Hmm, there were actually quite a few ads featuring him... I remember the ones for Fruit of the Loom and his Bauer gear commercials. 🤔

By the way, I've actually got a poster of him up in my window 😳 😍

That's just because they don't read my blog. They totally missed this bit:

THE BALLAD OF WAYNE

No, that rough body doesn't hurt Gretzky,
It isn't why his nerves are frayed and gritty.
No, the freezing ice doesn't bother Gretzky at all,
Nor does the misery or the trouble caused by the brawl.
No, none of that would bring Gretzky any woe,
He’d be happy, even through the heavy blow,
If his grandma wasn't shouting from the stands above,
An Uclaniti member of an anti-evil league, full of love.
If she didn't yell, "Momak, the ice is your doom,
A wild man's strike, sealing your gloom."

A deadly stick,
A deadly hand,
A deadly hand
From a wild man's command.

No, it doesn't hurt Gretzky being hit all the time,
He'd offer them a hand, truly sublime.
That's just part of the sport, part of the game,
And hockey's got a pedigree, that much is plain.
No, if while he's playing, he isn't feeling the sting,
Of Grandma mocking him, "You're worth nothing!"
When those harsh words fall, or a curse flies free,
From activists fighting evil, for all to see.
They scream, "Momak, the ice is your doom,
A wild man's strike, sealing your gloom."

A deadly stick,
A deadly hand,
A deadly hand
From a wild man's command.

Hey, stormyviper11
Since you're supposedly such an expert on ski jumping, can you tell me which of these two former jumpers is currently working as a male stripper:
Matti Nykänen
Toni Smith
I know one of them is, but I honestly can't remember which one.
Like, is it more like a Chippendales thing or something out in the wild?

Wait, why isn't Matti Nykänen in jail?

As far as I know, he's doing time in prison right now, though he used to be a stripper back in the day. Not sure what Smith is up to lately, but a few years back he was still trying his hand at jumping...

In jail? Seriously?
What did he actually do?
So it was Smith all along, just like I figured, though you could never be quite sure since both of them went completely off the rails after they retired from jumping.

A bit of teasing, pushing someone down the stairs... nothing major...

Robin Williams6 said:In jail? Come on, really?
What did he even do?
So it was Smith, that's what I thought, though honestly who could be sure... I know they both went way too hard on the booze once they retired from jumping...

I tried looking for a link, but I can't find anything. Someone recently posted (maybe Yo Momma) some news about how Nykänen lost his cool and ended up back behind bars. Apparently, it’s because of what David Sullivan4 mentioned—he walked into some dive bar, stayed for an hour and a half, caused a massive scene, and they hauled him right back in. And just to clear things up, Nykänen is the one who worked as a male stripper a few years back, but I seriously doubt he's physically capable of pulling off a job that intense these days...

And yeah, if you ask me, both of them were hitting the bottle pretty hard even while they were still competing, not just after they called it quits...

I dug up some info, here is what Wikipedia says:

Nykänen's whole career was this wild mix of pure talent and total meltdowns... just constant chaos. Even after he hung up the skis, people still looked back at his prime as this legendary era, but all the public drama turned him into kind of a joke to the rest of the country. Between the stories of domestic fights—he hit his wife, she hit him (more often than not)... you get the idea—all those marriages and divorces, plus him trying to make it as a singer (with songs like "Hi Hi Hi, I am your samurai" and "Only a ski jumper can know") and even doing stints as a stripper, he mostly earned mockery rather than any actual respect.

Matti went through several marriages:

Tina Hassinen (1986–1988)
Pia Hynninen (1989–1991)
Sara Paanala (1996–1998)
Mervi Tapola (2001–2003)
Mervi Tapola (2004–)
On August 24, 2004, Matti Nykänen got picked up by the cops on suspicion of attempted manslaughter after stabbing a family friend. He ended up being convicted of aggravated assault and got handed a 26-month prison sentence on October 27, 2004. Since it was his first offense, he got out on September 21, 2005, only to be arrested again just four days later for abusing his partner, Mervi Tapola.

The movie about The Life of Matti Nykänen Has been released in 2006 , with Finnish actor Jasper Pääkkönen cast as Matti.

Good grief, it’s like nobody even bothered to listen to Usra or Zvalja. 👎

Look, I’m interested in what you have to say—really. If you were my kid, we’d sit down and actually listen to this stuff during the break between New Year's Eve and the first big holidays next year. 😁

Halijen!😠 Give me back my CD, The Barber...

Hey Harold Wright54, you got that tracklist from that CD handy? I’ve got one here featuring Lizator, The Barber, and those loudmouths, but some big-shot metalhead managed to lose the list. 🙂 🙂
