Moral of the story: you blueball Pat Patterson, you get blackballed.

It was well known Pat Patterson had a thing for young boys but you can't blame McMahon but he still should never have took him back after the allegations in 92

Vince really looks peeved during all of this.

Bruno Sammartino and Joe DiMaggio are both legends of gigantic proportions in the 20th century. My point was Bruno Sammartino is to wrestling what Joe DiMaggio is to baseball. They are icons much larger to the fabric of America than the sports themselves.

"Time for a break, but when we come back we'll get Meltzer to answer some hard questions about his mullet."

I really like the way Phil Donahue conducted his show. He obviously did research about the subject matter, he kept the interviewees under control, and he knows how to clarify the comments of others. I just wish there were still others like him around today.

He did a show with AWA 7 years or so before this that showed wrestling in a much more positive light. The announcer had his case settled by WWE in the end.

Vince kept Pat Paterson who still works for the comp'y & is Godfather of Stepanie McMahon. Pat not long ago has admitted he is gay. Vince was 47 in '92, to believe he didn't know what went on in wwf when he was 33, is not convincing. Vince started in business in late 60's. Vince's body language & eye expression say's it all.

Vince admitted to Congress that steroids and drugs were a problem. Every wrestler is still on steroids and drugs. For Vince to claim ignorance is laughable at best and criminal at worst.

Bruno Sammartino = A wrestling God. He was and still is the Joe DiMaggio for the Italian community and the American nation.

thats Barry O----he was the king of all jobbers...i loved him....lol

Wonder how Barry's father and Brother thought of this at the time. You know Randy heard the stories.

Dave Meltzer looked like he was gonna piss his pants sittin that close to Vince

If even half of these incidents are true I can understand why Bruno hates Vince.

John Arezzi, Vince Russo was the financial backer of John's radio show from 1993-1995. The two also did a newsletter together until they had a split. John also got Vince Russo a job in the WWF as a magazine editor.

Pat Patterson is a good friend of Jerry Sandusky, true story.

"it got harder and harder and harder" lol

Pat Patterson's partner had died around '99,so I suppose that was some punishment.

lol Vince looks so pissed, he's not used to having to answer to anybody

Bruno is the F'N Man

"I'm a team player so I let him blow me while I was driving"--Barry O

Holy crap. Good eye. I think you're 100% right. I didn't even NOTICE that.

lol he does look a lot like Leslie Nielsen

Glow wrestling was also on Phil Donahue... GLOW was huge competition against WWF at the time... Vince would and still never acknowledge GLOW wrestling

Donahue: "If you don't fix this, you're not going to be able to give these tickets away" For all the good points that Donahue makes, I disagree with the above. Look at all of the scandals in sports, it's only gotten worse over the years, people are aware, but the crowds still come. Look at the people in the music industry and how many people buy their albums and tickets, no matter what trouble they cause. Bread and circuses will always find an audience.

John Arezzi is now in the contury music business

"That is child molestation of their minds." Uhmm....I don't think that's a thing.

I swear Randy's uncle always looks so cracked out

Yep, here we are some 16 years later, and the "empire" is still going strong. Controversy after controversy. Still here.

Mostly retired. Did a documentary not too many years ago. He and wife Marlo Thomas live in Westport, CT. Past 70 now.

The announcer was Mel Phillips who was one of the ring announcers during the eighties. It was well known through the industry that Patterson is gay.

So if wrestlers spoke about misconduct and bad treatment they saw and recieved, they were blacklisted and could not work anywhere, as far as I am concerned this is why wrestlers need a union to protect themselves.

Vince not only condones steroids, he won't push anyone who is not jacked up on them.

Stuff like that was the reason Sting never went to the wwe, to hell with Vince

now vince is harassing us with JOHN cena

Superstar Billy Graham is the Jose Canseco of Pro Wreslting.

That Barry guy looks like William Regal with long hair.

Meltzer seems like the only one that isn't full of it

Phil Donahue is a legend

Barry Orton actually sounds like older brother Bob.

Yes. Randy Orton's uncle.

I remember Brett Hart was talking a starting a union for wrestlers when he was still wrestling.

I am not sure that Vince was crappy as a guest, but more like his legal counsel probably advised him to be quiet.

Barry Orton had a lot of potential

Lol Vince's expression when Orton was talking about first amendment

Barry O is Randy O's uncle.

It occurs to me that on the WWE issued DVD about McMahon that this footage was not mentioned at all. That wouldn't be suspicious except for the fact that pretty much all McMahon's "failures" were mentioned. Not important, but slightly irregular.

Pause your video at 1 minute 56 seconds, miss elizabeth is in the crowd

He's actually Randy's uncle.

ughhh...that would be so creepy i just wouldnt be able to bring myself to do it...man...

I remember Brett Hart was talking about starting a union for wrestlers when he was still wrestling.

if anyone DOESNT think mcmahon had plants in the crowd,just look at 1:53!!! its elizabth!!..lol

good point

Bruno does not, and never will, he's said so 1000 times

Vincent couldn’t have looked more guilty, it must be tough trying to control all those roided out wrestlers, Dr D used to mash them all lol

At about 1:54 you see Miss Elizabeth in the crowd lol I wonder if Randy was backstage

Vince's look from 2:15 - 2:18 says it all...

@Junkay2 That's Right BROTHER!!!! when he used to pose in the Ring and drop the Big Leg he was saying I wanna Touch my Little Hulksters DUDE!!!!

7:46 : McMahon face thinking « Son of a Bitch »

"We don't see the midgets any more do we?" 1993 as if to counter prove this point Vince rolls the midgets back out

everybody told on vince in 92 and 93. even hulk hogan snitched at one time.

they hardly even let mcmahon talk

4:18 to 4:20 Vince McMahon's Face was Priceless.

Is that Barry O????

hahaha, Donohue says, 'make it short, we're running out of time' ?? hahaha

some parts are missing, how come we can't hear the story of the guys hes talking about?

AMEN.

Adrian Adonis would ruff up the new wrestlers and they would go to Pat Patterson.

Guess he fixed it...93k at Silverdome for Wrestlemania record breaker!!!

@davv1975 That is Miss Elizabeth and next to her left is the victim Tom Cole (who brought up the charges in the first place but later settled with McMahon)

Barry Orton is Randy Ortons Uncle!

yes, it is.

Billy Graham is sipping on haterade!

@danachonda The keywords being "worst kept" meaning that they were not well guarded.

Long live democratic socialism and freedom

Phil Donahue barely let his guest or Vince McMahon talk. At the rate this show was going Vince shouldn't have been there since he didn't even get to say anything

Vince should not have been blamed for what Pat did however if those allegations were brought to him right away then he should have fired him

Pat must "do something" to Vince well to keep him STILL around.

@superstr5 Vince didn't plant her there...she just happened to already have tickets and by pure coincidence they happened to be talking about wrestling (wink-wink-nudge-nudge)...

WWF was great

HOW DID THEY GET MACMAN ON HERE LOL DAMMMMMM

I saw miss elizabeth in the audience.

I aint gay but there's a possibility i could of been talked into dropping my pants for Pat in return for a run with the IC belt.

Pat Patterson had is way with all the boys.

I know they're discussing a somewhat serious topic, but I couldn't help but laugh when the big guy wearing shades started talking about the midgets getting sexually harassed lol..

LoL @ the name Lord Littlebrooks.

Whenever a wrestler was percieved to be or was "playing" a homosexual, the announcer would say he was a student of the Terry Garvin School of Self-Defense. Hulk Hogan and many other wrestlers have talked about Pat Patterson's aggessive overt sexual advances. If male employees of any company treated female coworkers in the same manner, and it was ignored so blatently, the lawsuits would bankrupt the enity.

Miss Elizabeth in the audience @ 1:53 !!!!!!!!!

@lyddy86 He is Bob's younger brother.

you can't blame vince for pat pattersons actions, he's a business man and doesn't control others actions, all he can do is fire them employees but the thing is Vince him self didn't do these things others did, don't blame vince

boy that looks like Elizabeth at 1:55

@eslubin thank you. the wisest thing I've read here.

indeed it is

Dude ALL ATHLETES SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE ALL FUCKING ROIDED UP!!!!!!!! We the people would love to see roided up athletes smashing each other!!!!!!

@dpman72 Pat Patterson's shenanigans are some of wrestling's worse kept secrets.

So is Barry Orton related to the Randy and Bob?

Pat Patterson likes yum rockets.

Is the announcer they are referring to Sean Mooney? Did he have a deal going on with Pat Patterson? To my knowledge SEan Mooney with offered a new contract but declined....why?

Superstar Billy Graham got WAY too melodramatic in this interview! Hulk Hogan committed "child molestation of the mind"? OH PUHLEEZ!!!

@depper Isn't Joe Dimaggio the Joe Dimaggio of the Italian community?
