That lady, what's her name, Jezebel Grant, was having a bad hair day, and Vince donated a special something to her hair. What a thoughtful man Vince is. That man would never shit on anybody (hehe)
Does anyone know why McMahon did an angle in an old school southern territory in 1993? As far back as 1982 he was plotting the demise of the territories.
Not really….

This guy could be a huge heel someday in the WWF, possibly the greatest. In all seriousness tho this is a very calm, cold laid back version of what was to come
I want to give a shout out to Brian Zane of WrestlingWithWregret, he did a video on this a while ago. Yes this was definitely a test run before McMahon became an on screen character in 97/98. We only saw him as the announcer/commentator

@@LeGreekChef Vince had a story line where he has an affair with his own daughter, but Stephanie refused to do it. She talked about it in an interview.
This isn't a heel promo. He's delivering it differently, but in 1993, the Macho Man was the babyface; Lawler and Jarrett were heels; and he's supporting the Macho Man and dissing the heels. It's a darker-than-usual babyface promo. Promos like this CAN foreshadow a heel turn, but obviously, that didn't happen in 1993.

USWA Unified Heavyweight Championship. It was the WCWA and AWA World Heavyweight Championship titles. This would have been roughly September/October of 1993
@@colinconnolly892It's a title that's oddly not recognized as a World Title even though it's creation is from 2 major territories. It's considered a 2nd tier World Title And because of that we recognize Ric Flair as the all time leader in World championships and not Jerry Lawler because Jerry has twice as many world championships if you count the unified World championship as a legitimate title. This is where things get tricky. It basically is one person's opinion versus another. And "historians" have politically decided that Jerry Lawler can't be the best of all time so therefore those titles don't count. Personally I count them. This also makes Rick Rude a champion & some others that are not included on the list. The way I see it the AWA & any title comparable to the AWA or any other territory on par with the AWA is a valid world championship. That's why Hulk Hogan is actually a 13 time Champ & not a 12 time Champ imo. But those are the kind of everlasting arguments that people will have in the upper tiers of the wrestling community.

This was what 4.5+ years before the Mr. Mcmahon character in late 97, early 1998, and he has the exact same cadence.
