Drinking hard liquor in big pitchers like beer just so he could be mobile enough to do stunts, Jesus Christ It's telling that the Princess Bride people talk openly about how much effort it was for him to do this movie, while WWF never breathed a word about it (kayfabe)

He said he did the movie because he wanted to play a good guy character, too, he was talking to Reiner about how WWF was making him into a heel and he hated the idea of fans yelling abuse at him and hating him etc. Sigh
