After a successful run with the WWF until 1993 and on-off non-wrestling appearances in 1994, 1995 & 1996, Hennig joined the rival promotion, Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling in 1997, wrestled for them till 2000, before he returned home to the WWF in early 2002.

• Brodie Lee Reveals How Dedicated Vince McMahon Is
During a recent appearance on Talk Is Jericho podcast, new AEW wrestler Brodie Lee (fka Luke Harper in WWE) gave an example of how dedicated Vince McMahon is.
Lee talked about how WWE writers wanted The Bludgeon Brothers (Luke Harper & Erick Rowan) to carry their mallets at the Greatest Royal Rumble PPV in Saudi Arabia.
However, there was fear of the mallets getting lost or the tag team getting in airport trouble for it.
This led to Vince McMahon putting the mallets in his own jet on the trip to Saudi Arabia.
The Bludgeon Brothers then went on to defeat The Usos to retain the SmackDown Tag Team Championship at the Greatest Royal Rumble.
