Scandal Rocks The WWF!
Vince McMahon’s WWF ran into a bit of a bump when allegations of gay sexual harassment, rampant drug use, and more converged in 1992. Watch Vince and friends visit Donahue for a hard-hitting episode, brother!
Did Vince McMahon write this?
Kanye West rushes the stage and interrupts Taylor Swift’s accepting a Video Music award, and the slow-witted Swift just stands there speechless – I suppose if the words aren’t on the teleprompter for her, she is lost and doesn’t know what to do.
This should be good
The August 10, 2009 issue of Dave Metlzer’s The Wrestling Observer reports that none other than Rev Al Sharpton is scheduled to host a future episode of WWE RAW. That’s crackerjack booking from the House of McMahon for you.
1985 was such a good year…
Well a short while back I posted the music video to the American Wrestling Association’s WrestleRock Rumble. To be sure, that song is an acquired taste! But The WWF’s entry into the world of music was much better – much better than most of the ‘music’ selling CDs and winning awards today in 2008!
Here’s the lead track from The Wrestling Album, Land of 1,000 Dances!
Would you believe I can name every wrestler in the video?
Would you believe I can name some of the non-wrestlers, like Vince McMahon’s longtime secretary and former Playboy model, Emily Feinberg?
I have sure invested many 1,000s of hours in pro wrestling, huh?
Pre-expansion WWF ruled!
The place, The Philadelphia Spectrum. The day, June 4, 1983.
Big John Studd was facing his arch enemy, the legendary Andre the Giant. After some preliminaries, the action took to the mat for a mind boggling 8 minute, 35 second front facelock.
For years, I was convinced that the notoriously alcoholic Andre had just passed out in the ring and Studd was just stalling, hoping Andre would come to his senses long enough to do an actual finish in the match. Truth is, we may never know the ‘story behind the story’ in this case.
Mr. Fuji Rules Hollywood
Way back in the mid-1980s, Vince McMahon’s World Wrestling Federation was making its big national expansion, riding high on the popularity of Hulk Hogan and to a lesser extent, ‘Rowdy’ Roddy Piper. But the WWF universe was filled with many stars: Greg Valentine, The British Bulldogs, The Wild Samoans, and especially Don Muraco and his manager, Mr. Fuji.
At one point, the Muraco & Fuji duo took off for Hollywood, to take over the film & television industries. They prepared three pilots, offered here in their entirety!
Fuji General – A soap opera featuring the passions at a major metropolitan hospital.
Fuji Bandito – A wild western with action and mayhem!
Fuji Vice – When murder and drugs are involved, leave it to these stylish vice cops!
