Not that I'm calling you a liar or anything but I find that very hard to believe and here's why:

1 - They were fighting for legit prize money and I can't see why they would fix the final when the rest of it was a shoot. Would Bradshaw willing let go 50 grand just to get a fake win? Wasn't the WWF confident Bradshaw could get a result.

2 -Bart Gunn was over. Not major over but he was over and looked like a new star. He was knocking out guys left and right and the people wanted to see him win it all after he knocked out Steve Williams.

3 - If they wanted to punish him, he wouldn't have been at WrestleMania on a big pay day fighting Butterbean. They also paid for extensive boxing training for him.
