Simon Cowell owes all his sucess and fame to Vince!
This is from Simon Cowell's auto-biography "I Don't Believe To Be Rude But.."
Next I cut a deal that would change my life. I read in a newspaper that the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) had come over to tour Britain and had sold out Wembley Stadium in 27 minutes, I knew that there were few music artists who would sell out an 80,000 arena in that amount of time. So I phoned up the boss at the WWF, Vince McMahon, and said, ‘Have you ever thought about making an album with your wrestlers?’ As luck would have it, one of McMahon’s managers was in town the next day and we had a breakfast meeting where I persuaded him that the deal would be a good idea. At my insistence Mike Stock and Pete Waterman wrote and produced the album. This would be the first record I would put out on my theory. Could I sell albums with no radio-play based on the word-of-mouth buzz created by television? Well the single went to No.3 in the charts and the album went on to sell more than 1.5 million copies throughout Europe. Even though I knew at the time that The Undertaker and Randy Savage certainly weren’t what you would call career artists, the experience proved that I was correct with my thinking. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dam You Vince!

Not only that, but Simon owes alot of his success to the Power Rangers and Teletubbies...and no I am not kidding. WWF was his first album, fallowed by Power Rangers and Teletubbies...and now he is worth $50 Million. Not too bad...

I remember watching the E!'s "Its Good to Be..." show on Simon Cowell and one of the graphics thrown behind his head was the "WRESTLEMANIA: THE ALBUM" cd.
Simon Cowell is bad ass. |
