Mcmahon/Turner feud


Recommended Posts

Was there anymore to the feud between them?

Was it simply because vince didn't see him as a real wrestling "promoter" which pissed him off all the more when turner started beating him?

 

Also, I swear I read somewhere that bischoff had worked under mcmahon at some point(before now)which led to their hating each other or was that just kayfabe, or not true at all?

 

Any help is appreciated.

Oh, that's a touchy subject.

 

Turner wanted to buy McMahon's WWF. Vince refused. Turner got pissed off and that's basically it.

Vince bought a time slot on TBS somewhere around 84 I guess, during his big national expansion. The Atlanta fanbase freaked out, as they preferred the NWA's more wrestle first, talk later style. Ratings plummeted and Ted forced Vince off the network to put the NWA back on. That's when the bad blood started, then of course Turner bought NWA/WCW, and we all know where it went from there.

Yeah, yeah...and then Turner called Vince and said "Guess what? I'm in the wrasslin' business"

 

C'mon, how pesky is that?

I think he tried out but wasn't hired. Probably after his AWA run but I'm not sure on that.

It's true. I believe that one time on Confidential they showed the actual try-out video.
