Here's his debut in front of a televised crowd. He interrupts Mick Foley who is out there promoting his book and licking the boots of the US military.

Let's not skim over the One Man Gang thing. His new gimmick was "Hakeem The African Dream". Not only was this a stab at Dusty Rhodes, whom Vince loved to humiliate, but Hakeem's manager was none other than Slick, a black man who was also a walking racist stereotype of a hustling, jive talking soul brother.

Kane sucked

B-Rock452 posted:

My Kane story is that whenever there was a wwe event in Philly the wrestlers would show up at my gym to workout. A local mom stopped by to ask the owner if she could get a few autographs cause her son loves wrestling but has Down Syndrome and didn't do well with crowds. The owner texted Kane and Kane ended up setting it up so the kid could come hang out with a bunch of the wrestlers (including Kane) and get photos and help with their workouts.

What was the story with the guy who fell out of their harness from the rafters? Didn't he die?

SilvergunSuperman posted:

Maybe they had more than one, but I remember it being like a really lovely record scratch riff over a beat because we used to laugh at how garbage it was

Great Khali options:

1) his weird giant heart just finally gave out

2) Vince pushed him because he big, but never got over. So Vince pushed him as a big creep (his 2nd go to), still not really over. So future endeavors?

3) I think he went back to India?

The most memorable moment of his reign was facing the heel-turned Val Venis in a cage match, where both men took a great risk with Rikishi doing a diving splash off the side of the cage.

The wrestlers once assembled a slip n' slide in a hotel hallway. There was a prostitute positioned at the end. Perry Saturn strapped a dildo to the top of his head and attempted to make history.

Mick Foley told a story once
somebody at WWE had pitched bringing him back for something, and Vince was like "oh, that'd be fantastic! ... too bad Mick hates me."
and his dudes were like "??? he hates you? Mick Foley hates anybody? since when? why does he hate you?"
and Vince was like "I don't know, he just hates me. "
and they were like "... well since it's such a good idea, maybe we can try reaching out to him anyway? we got Ultimate Warrior and Bret Hart to come back..."
and Vince was like " you can try... I really don't think he'll go for it, though, I'm telling you, the man hates my guts."

so they called Foley, and... he had no idea what they were talking about. he didn't have a clue why Vince would think that he hated him
Vince was elated to learn this and gave him a big hug when they saw each other again


I think this is an important story for understanding Vince, because to me it shows that his erratic, arbitrary decision-making isn't limited to things that please him, his brain is equally capable of coming to a random conclusion that just makes him really sad
