Wrestling and the mafia ?

**Stu Hart** · 09-26-2020, 04:01 PM

Just caught a re-run of Donnie Brasco, and a question popped into my mind.

Did the mob , in the 70s and 80s have any effect on wrestling?

It seems like they had their hands in everything at that time, especially in New york. They had deep ties to the entertainment industry at that time, especially events held at MSG.

Does anyone have any information on this ?
