Don't Let those donuts fool you. The Magnificent Muraco was all business when it came to wrestling. Muraco is no joke, he's gotta be on everybody's Top 20 wrestlers of all time list.
Oh god.. The music at the end with the old school text is just classic... why can't they go back to simple retro graphics.. they were so much more fun than all these graphics with too much noise everywhere.. :(
I love mean gene, it was funny to see him try not to laugh after 1:30, then laugh as Patera comes in. 80's promo's were the best. None of this crap they have now. Its to serious now
Rick Rude did one of those ridiculous pose-downs in front of Donnie who just stood there while Rick had to make a fool of himself. The look on Donnie's face was unforgettable. Both Ken Patera and he were mucho underrato!
interviews are so streamlined and contrived now, i miss these loose improvised beautifully flawed interviews where if Mean Gene cracks up, it just makes it funnier
Hennan "heh"..after Okerlund says I got POWDERED SUGAR all over me!!..That says it all!!..."Cokey Okie"!!!...at the end he has to reinforce the fact!!..Classic 80's WWF!!!
this is one of the bests skits--bobby had to turn away off-camera as he was laughing--thanks for posting--what a pool of talent there was on wwf from 84-92--maraco as funny as ever--
muraco was the man,nobody made the faces like him after taking a bump,i remember ricc magraw did a soft bacc breaker on him and muraco had this pain'd expression on his face,and thats when i first learn wrestling was a work yell
I remember seeing this when it aired! My little brother and I were rolling around howling. This was probably about the time we realized that the WWF bad guys were more fun than the good guys.
does anyone have the promo before the snuka/muraco cage match when muraco was talkin' bout snuka and muraco snatchin' planes out the air? Brst promo ever. One of the best matches too. Snuka off the top of the cage to the middle of the ring onto muraco.
anyone remember when he wrestled while eating a meatball sandwich? It happened. It was wrapped in tin foil and he had sauce all over his face. he pinned the guy in like 2 minutes and was chewing the whole time. I remember it like it was yesterday!!
It seems to be sometime in spring/summer 1985 after the first Wrestlemania, as Heenan is referencing Andre slamming Big John Studd at Wrestlemania I, and Patera was in prison by the end of the year.
I've been looking for that promo for years !! The original one with McMahon was priceless. The following week, he cut another promo while eating fried chicken and covering Vince with grease.
He's wearing those glasses because he's stoned as hell and has the muc hies. Heenan would second that in a shoot interview from around 10 years ago when he stated Muraco had great weed.
One of the best heels ever. Loved this guy..so underrated.
