Who are some of Vince's favorite superstars..

[Guest messiahtype]

without in ring work being a factor.

hogan-allowed him to expand to a national level

austin-made the most money

andre-has andre memoribilia stashed away somewhere. and a big pic of him in his stamford office(i believe)

hbk-let me basically do whatever he wanted. refuse jobs, bury peers, giving discreet locations so he could bone sunny. thoughts?

Obviously HHH

 

John Cena

 

Undertaker - For being loyal and not jumping to WCW

 

 

Basically any wrestler who didn't jump ship to WCW in the 90's when WWF was about to crash

 

I still think Vince loves Bret like his son despite the screw job.

I would love to hear Vince explain why Bob Holly is still employed.

[FroGG_NeaL 0]

Undertaker

[snuffbox 0]

I don't think I really want to hear the vile reasons for that.

That sums up this thread. Those who didn't jump to WCW when WWE was going through a tough period has a special place in McMahon's heart. I also agree with the Bret statement...deep down I truly think McMahon really likes Hart...

[Guest NYankees]

Yeah and the Undertaker wouldn't leave because he couldn't use that gimmick in WcW.

last I heard, Bob Holly was still in the hospital battling some crazy infection. It sounded pretty serious and I haven't heard anything in weeks.

[Black Lushus 0]

I'm pretty certain it's been reported that he's cleared to go again.

[SteakGrowsOnUecker 0]

Holly wrestled a dark match last week.

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

Vince loves Jimmy Yang. Seriously.

[Cheech Tremendous 0]

Back in the 80s, McMahon used to hang out with Hulk Hogan a lot in social situations. You know doing coke, drinking beers, womanizing, etc.

 

I know that he now spends a lot of time with Hunter these days, and thinks of him like a son.

 

I can't think of any others off the top of my head that were his favorite on a personal level. As far as wrestlers he marked for, you can throw in Billy Graham and Andre.

Scott Taylor seems to still have a job...for some reason

[Guest JustPassinBy]

Undertaker could have never gotten over in WCW.

His whole persona is his gimmick.

 

Razor Ramon could make the transition to Scott Hall.

 

Undertake could not have made the transition to Mark Calloway.

[The Amazing Rando 0]

BikerTaker was fairly over...but that was mostly a) because it was Taker and b) because he was and always is booked strong. Even if he seems to be booked weak he always comes back in the end.

On the other hand, the Undertaker gimmick, at least on the surface, is a shitty gimmick. He was booked strongly, but was also a good talker and a great worker (at least for his size). He was a good prospect before he even came to WWF, so I'd give him an above average chance at succeeding in WCW. If nothing else, they could have called him the Gravedigger or something like that and just totally kept the gimmick intact.

Vince has to be a fan of Flair.

[Ravenbomb 0]

weren't there reports that Vince has been into Sabu's stuff lately?

[King Cucaracha 0]

JBL.

 

And yeah, apparantly he's a fan of Yang as a worker.

[Lt. Al Giardello 0]

Kurt Angle.

[Guest Jack Potts]

The Fabulous Moolah.

 

Although after watching "Lipsticks & Dynamite," the documentary about female wrestlers, I think Moolah liked Vince's father more than she cares for Vince.

 

Vince and Moolah definitely seem cut from the same cloth in terms of their ruthless approach to business.

no, WCW got in trouble for that with Scott Hall using Razor Ramon mannerisms. (movements, accent, phrases)

[Enigma 0]

I love how it's being made out to be that Undertaker stayed totally loyal to the WWF during the black period. Whatever. He was set to jump to WCW and take one of Ted Turner's huge paychecks before he found out he couldn't use the Deadman gimmick in WCW.

I dont remember Undertaker even being a very good talker. When he was BikerTaker, I thought his promos sucked.

 

Now, he might have been better in WCW when he was Mean Mark, but I never thought his mic skills were very good in the WWF.

I'd say guys like Sgt. Slaughter and Pat Patterson, obviously. Probably Superfly Snuka and the whole Samoan Family ( Afa, Sika, Rock...are they all related somehow ? )

 

Randy Sava........oh.

Didn't he get Snuka out of a murder charge? I guess Vince does like him a lot.

Rock, Afa, Snuka, Rosey, Jamel, Rikishi, they are all related. I think there might be some more in there but that's what I remember. They are the largest family in wrestling, or so it seems.

Can you enlighten a young fan on Moolah's approach to the business?

The Wild Samoan site has profiles on everyone in the family and as I recall it used to have a huge description of the family tree.
