Ok, we all remember the XFL...
 

But who remembers Vince McMahon's other failed promotion: the WBF?

I was reading a seanbaby article, when I found this gem embedded in it.

Holy shit. Listen to McMahon marking out and flatout orgasming over this dude. Prior to this, I'd only heard about the World Bodybuilding Federation. No wonder it never went anywhere.

I was never a fan of the world basketball federation.

Well this explains Vince's obsession with jacked dudes who can't wrestle.

geez no wonder that went nowhere

IIRC Lex Luger was hired originally to be apart of that lame WBF

He's gayer than an orchid font?

The dude's back is horrible, legs too small for the rest of his body, upper bodybuilder. Wouldn't even make top 10 at Olympia

I remember this thanks to wrestlecrap.com.

This commentary rivals Bobby Heenan with The Narcissist at the 1993 Royal Rumble.

Why you gotta drag Afterlife into this? :shifty:

So is Vince McMahon gay?

I still remember

Vince-"I got an idea, let's get that Lex Luger guy from dubya c dubya to be the spokesmen for this.Who cares if his mic skills are sub-par...look at his guns!"

:rofl:

He seriously thought this would make money?

He's got my erection...I mean, err...attention.

Seriously. WTF.

This was at the height of Vince's hoss fetish.

OMG! Xero. Your avvy. It's back! No animation, but still!

Yeah can't find my animated avatar.

i wonder if that guy was on steroids

What did it do and I'll "crudenize" (another word I made up) it for you (i.e. i'll make it look shit and crude, hence crudenize).

Much love, goodnight.

I remembered the WBF. I liked the female host.

Didn't the WBF also collapse roughly the same time as Vince being investigated and then later going to court over illegal steroids and steroids supplier by the Feds?

Yes it did.
