Below are some top news stories of the day, involving Vince McMahon and Taz.
• WWE Hall of Famer Ted DiBiase shared his first impression of WWF during the latest episode of Everybody’s Got a Pod.
Reflecting on his early thoughts, DiBiase recalled being amazed by Vince McMahon’s success:
“The minute that I saw that Vince McMahon had set an indoor world attendance record, 93,000 people at the Pontiac Silverdome for WrestleMania 3. Oh my gosh.
I mean, I said it immediately. I said, ‘If I’m going to stay alive in wrestling, then I’m going to have to go work for Vince McMahon.’”
He also dispelled the idea that McMahon was a cheap promoter, saying, “Wrestling promoters are notorious for being cheap! [laughs]
You know what, to Vince’s credit… how can I talk about anybody being cheap when he gives me this character, and I’m flying around in lyrics and limousines… and the company’s picking up the tab. Wow.”
