For those who are looking for how he was whipped like a red-headed stepson, here it is. The fun starts at 23:28. ua-cam.com/video/nS47GprQmAQ/v-deo.html
Just wait til he gets in full gear and runs the World Wrestling Federation, or RIDS the World Wrestling Federation of the likes of Race, Hercules, Wund-Wuh-Worndorff!!!
This was actually true in WCW in the 90's as well. Which had it's downsides of letting people with absolutely 0% mic skills talk too long. (Chris Benoit, Buddy Lee Parker, Jerry Flynn, etc.)
Vince told them what he wanted them to talk about, and they took it from there. Now, it’s rigidly scripted by guys who can’t bench their weight and have their preferred pronouns under their email signature.
@@ladadavidson7926 eh i don't think it was a downside. it was interesting to get to know the personalities of the characters/performers. even where they had nothing going on like a Dean Malenko or were rough on the mic like many of them.
@@mikewiley7529 It's definitely a treasure worth revisiting. For me, I'll go many months without watching it and then one day it just randomly pops into my head, at which point I come straight to UA-cam to watch it again. 😂
1:30 : "Whipped me like a red setted...........red headed step son." Watch Gene's face during that butchered phrase, he can't hold back the laugh, has to turn away. Pure Gold.
@@willyupshaw he was he actually used Ken's incarceration and release and a "changed man" angle to turn him face no chance in hell that wasn't a punishment
@@michellelincoln9987 It was clearly a terrible angle, but I'm not sure it was intended to fail and humiliate Patera, as it obviously did. I read that they simply had too many heels at that moment, and figured they'd turn Patera heel again when the time came. Which it never did because he so spectacularly blew his last chance.
I met Gene a few weeks ago at a Legends of the Ring signing in NJ. Having this amazing promo in mind, I asked him "On a scale of 1-10 promo-wise, how would you rate Ken Patera?" His answer: "OFF THE CHARTS......SOUTH!" :-) pretty cool moment
mickser101 HAAA! I was about to quote that too. lol "So upset". Woooooo! The he ramps it up trying to get all intense, and can do nothing but name off wrestlers. He also "heals well". LMAO Striking fear into his enemies hearts.
@@DeathAndTac0s That's probably because almost no one can remember a time when Roman wasn't essentially reading from a piece of paper. Sure, Patera was tripping over himself here, but it still felt 10 times more genuine than anything on RAW because yeah, he was making it up on the fly. That was the whole point, the biggest stars were the biggest stars because they could do that. Hulk & Warrior were huge draws partly because their promos were entertaining. Macho and Flair are Top 5 all time because they could work AND talk better than anyone. Vince and his damned scripts sucked the fun out of everything.
1:31 - Mean Gene begins to struggle 1:36 - Now, he's really doing his best not to transmogrify into Harvey Korman. Yet somehow, he regains his composure completely. Damn, this man was a professional's professional!
@@iyerzzzzz More like he's trying to sell the the severity of the scars by exclaiming at how bad they are, but he's probably also saying it because he realizes Ken is running out of stuff to say fast.
Love it when Mean Gene had to turn away at 1:42 mark to hide his smile in attempting to contain the laughter. God, I miss him. He was the best. Mean Gene was a huge part of my childhood, and I loved him when I was a kid. There will never and could never be another Mean Gene Okerlund.
Most memorable moments of Mean Gene for me were when the Gobbledy Gooker had him in the ring and Gene tripped over the bottom rope and slammed onto the mat. Telling Hogan and the Outsiders he had a team of lawyers if they touch him was another.
Actually that's not such a bad promo. I've seen worse. But he unintentionally hits Mean Gene's funny bone with the red headed remark. That's why it's a classic.
He almost said Shit. Kenny used to love to swear and drink, He only lives a few miles away from me in Minnesota St. Paul area nice guy in his 70's now looks like anybody's Grandpa , and so down to earth he hates cell phones but does own one and publicly has his land line # published....
Ken Patera was told by his dad "if anybody hits you, hit them back twice as hard" except when Ken Patera did that they then sent him a receipt three times as hard and he got whipped again. I can see why he's so upset
He needs to even the odds by Tagging with Farmer. With Ken Patera in Full Gear, and Jumpin' Jeff Farmer at Full Force there's no tellin' how many more beatings these two can take.
When Gene goes from the genius of Randy Savage to 2 minutes of pure verbal diarrhea of Ken Patera. Legend has it he's still naming all five members of the Heenan family to this day. There's so much gold here.
Mean Gene had such a pretend serious demeanour, serious questions, trying to get to the bottom of stories like a top investigative journalist, all the while frowning and looking concerned so that he didn’t burst out laughing in these promos.
I like how Mean Gene manages to get control of himself after the “red stedded sep-stepson” line, probably thinks about what Patera said for a second, and finally blows.
He's going to recover it and run the World Wrestling Federation of the Goon Squad for beating him like a dirty yard dog and a red setted stepson. Sadly I wish THIS was on RAW next week
Yes! This is back. I LOVE this. Not nearly enough people know about this or the embarrassing demise of Ken Patera. It's one of the few hidden jem narratives of pro-wrestling lore that deserves more attention.
Gene Okerlund: Alright here we go again, Ken Patera-Portland, Oregon, join me if you will. Over the past couple of years, you’ve had to overcome some tremendous personal difficulties. You’ve done so-you’ve paid your debt to society so to speak. And right now you have ongoing problems with Bobby “The Brain” Heenan and virtually every member of his family. Ken? Ken Patera: That’s right. The weasel has…come to the point. The conspiracy is completely…out of hand. He turned his gang of henchmen on me. His goon squad. King Kong Bundy, King Harley Race, Hercules Hernandez, Mister Wonderful Paul Orndorff. You know I’ve been humiliated before. But I’m so humiliated right now I’m afraid to turn my back. I don’t want the people to see what happened to me. They whipped me like a dirty yard dog. Well I’m gonna tell you something weasel…and the goon squad. I can take pain. I can recover. I can recuperate. Well I’m beyond that. I am so upset at…the uh…the actions that are going on in the World Wrestling Federation, especially from your so called family…that it’s just a matter of time…Like I said before, and I said it to you Mean Gene…I said it to everybody, IT’S JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE KEN PATERA GETS IN FULL GEAR AND RUNS THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION…or…RIDS THE WORLD WRESTLING FEDERATION OF THE LIKES OF YOU WEASEL, and KING KONG BUNDY, RACE, HERCULES, Worn…ORNDORFF, ALL OF YOU. YOU’RE ALL GONNA GO DOWN ONE BY ONE, and I’m gonna make sure of that. For the whipping that you gave me. Whipped me like a wred seaded…red headed step…son. I’m sick and tired of that type of treatment. And when I get ready. When I’m in full gear. Heenan, Weasel, whatever you guys wanna do, just bring it on. Because I’m not going anywhere. Like I say, I’m gonna carry these scars for a while, but I do heal and I heal well. Gene Okerlund: Alright, what a beating he took at the hands of the Heenan family. He’s strong man Ken Patera, and we’re right back.
Although this promo isn't the best, it's still actually better than 95% of the promo's on today's WWE. At least Ken doesn't sound like he's reading from que cards or a script.

I love how the whole promo is about how other people kicked his ass 😂
He is sooo…upset right now.
@@peterp2153 Yeah that was hilarious lol
lmao this will always be one of my favourite promos and reading this halfway through it made it even funnier.
Lmaoooo
But remember when he PUTS HIS GEAR ON.... look out!
"for the whipping you gave me, for whipping me like the red-headed stepson" 😂 mean genes facial expression is priceless after Kens rant lol
"I'm sooo upset...."
Pure badass! 😂
I love the part where he goes, "like I said before ", then realizes he hasn't said it yet, "well I said it you gene" lol
"I can re-cov.....recover"
Lol😂😅😂😅!!!
"They beat me like a dirty yard dog..."
And that's only like the FIFTH best part of this promo. Fuckin' GOLD.
Literally LMMFAO!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Glad he didn’t say ‘beat me like a Junkyard Dog’ - fans might’ve thought it was about the wrestler 🤼♀️ Junkyard Dog.
Today, mentioning being beaten like a dirty yard dog would make the "woke" Millennials and Gen Z cringe.

Mean Gene was a boss for holding in his laughter. To this day, I haven't been able to watch this clip without cracking up.
I wish he would break it though.... omg Geno made my day
There’s a lot of videos of him corpsing now lol

What I love the most about Wrestling in the 80s was how the wrestlers all got to cut a promo and be themselves regardless of their mic abilities.
Yes. This!

Cosmic Vacation LOL at sneaky Gene taking a peek. And they called Heenan a weasel.
An underrated line in this disaster is when he screams "im sick and tired of this type of treatment"! U tell em Ken. God this was horrendous
Give him a break. They beat him like a dirty yard dog.
@Yumenga LMAO very true the "Goon Squad" fucked him up! 😂 This disaster is always a treasure to re visit every year or so

@Yumenga Agreed. I put it up there close with the infamous Jeff Farmer Promo. Not as bad but pretty damn close
"Hey, Ken, does this type of treatment happen to you a lot?"
"I am sooo upset." What a badass.
Love it 😂
This is amazing
He should’ve definitely said Angry instead of Upset.
Inches from “disgruntled”. Bordering on “put out”. Vicious.
Yeah a bad asshole

"Whip me like a red setted, redheaded stepson... I'm sick and tired of that type of treatment!"... Yeah, go get'em KEN! Throw a boulder at them.
Love how the first thing Gene says is “Here we go again.” I wonder how many takes they did before this one.
Nah this is what Patera went to prison for, merciless assault and battery of an unsuspecting promo.
MGB To make matters worse, this was probably the 50th take.
Nah is not a word you idiot. Sound stupid like a botched rko

Still better than any Roman reigns promo

Seriously, no one looked at this and said "Ken, why don't you try that again?"

I can recover... r-recover
And it was on this day that Vince said, "hey you know what? Since we already record shows, why don't we just pre-record the promos too."

Plus the "Dirty yard dog" bit.

@@D2Kprime It's absolute gibberish. It's like he forgot almost every single line.

he does heal...and he does heal well
I thought he the was a face and the Heenan Family were the heels. Guess I got it backwards. So I was cheering the wrong side in this feud. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Like Wolverine lol
What's bizarre is that 10 years prior to this disaster, this guy was actually quite decent with promos
He had just gotten out of prison. Can you blame Patera for being out of practice?
He was never the same after being beaten like a red setted...redhead step son.
He had to recover it-recover er uh recuperate.
For all of you who have problems with this promo, Patera says: "Bring it on, cause I'm not going anywhere!"
This always puts me in great mood. Not only is Mean Gene struggling to laughing in his face. Just yell louder, and say the same thing. LOLOL
Me too. I see it's been two years since your comment, so if you're having a bad day, why not revisit this hilarious wrestling gaff.
Dammit Gene!! You were supposed to br the shield to keep me from screeching with laughter!!
"I am so upset at the.....er.....actions" thats the part that always gets me.

If Ken Patera gets in full gear, he better watch out for Jumping Jeff Farmer who goes full force!!!!

"They whipped me like a dirty yard dog" 🤣
Although this promo isn't the best, it's still actually better than 95% of the promo's on today's WWE. At least Ken doesn't sound like he's reading from que cards or a script.
Eeeeeh, I wouldn't go that far. At least even with the scripted stuff they can finish a sentence without fumbling all over themselves.
