I always get a lulz when Vince and the announce crew woudl make shootish comments back in the 80s. I guess VKM wasn't in charge of hiring the job crews at these tapings.
I had this on tape for a while too, back in my redneck days when I taped wrestling. At the time it was a shock to hear McMahon trash a jobber so bad!
BTW, the guy's name was Larry Finnegan and was billed at 355lbs from Norwalk, CT. He actually appeared later in a few other heel-jobber squash matches, though McMahon wasn't doing the commentary.
It's like they had the lighting down more than usual to hide the jobber's bad build. And when he tagged in... "You gotta be kidding me!". Classic!
And in those later matches Finnegan wore a shirt over his mega-bloated upper body. The guy actually moves pretty quick for having so much body fat.
As for this match, with all this noone seems to care that Hart, Valentine & Beefcake were around ringside. When Hart is heard "Is this the best you got Fat Boy" he's yelling at Albano, not the Glad Bag Man (great title)!
This match was on the same Sat. morning I first saw the Midnight Express in their debut NWA squash--anybody got that match?
Actually Randy praises Barry O's abilities in the Famous Wrestling Families DVD, that was put out by WWE, a while back. So they don't phase him totally out of the picture, just sort of, LOL, Barry O., LOL
Adorable TY for sharing this. Freakin Mcmahon tore that guy up!! 'Look at that walrus"..200 has to be blubber"..."oh hes just all over the canvas"..."hes leaving stains everywhere"..."thats the biggest piece of garbage i think ive ever seen"..."he could be wrapped in a glad bag". Never heard Vince go off like he did..& remember this was on the Sat. AM show..wow!
Yeah, I bet Vinny Mac went straight backstage & jabbed a Needle right in that Jobbers arm, & told him, this is what you need to be doing, if you wanna ever work for the World Wrestling Federation again, just ask Hulk, & Muraco. LOL
LOL@Vince "That's the biggest piece of garbage I think I've ever seen". He must have gotten paid with a ham n' eggs dinner!

"What a walrus!" LOL at Vince, his goofing on this guy is worse then his trashing of Steve Reese (infamous jobber to Bad News Brown)

Man, Vince just verbally tore that jobber apart! I guess this was a small preview of his later Mr.McMahon character.
Vince was always a stickler for his guy to have good bodies.
