I kind wore myself out from that period and needed something else. Some crazy stories from the 70's and 80's

Here's one. The night before Billy Graham was going to drop the title to Backlund he was facing Bruno in a cage match. Both thought Backlund was going to be a terrible champ (and he was), so the two made a plan to have Graham "accidently" knock Bruno out of the cage and Bruno would win the title. Bruno ended up changing his mind minutes before their bout. Apparently Vince Sr and Bruno HATED each other.
