Would have liked to see someone run in and smack him with a chair.

All Mike Quinn a crazy mofo.

Hilarious. Vince is two seconds away during the whole routine from blowing a hose ... and his load.

Poor fucker desperately trying to drum up excitement for what he must have known was gonna be a colossal failure, his WBF.

Fortress · « **Reply #5 on:** June 05, 2011, 01:01:41 PM »

And he calls him "Jerry" Strydom, too. Nice.

they gave it their best effort to add some excitement to what is essentially a nearly naked oiled man strutting his body for other cheering males.

If Gary did not go to the WBF; 1991 wouldve been the best olympia's of the 90's

Haney, Yates, Strydom

1991 was Strydom at his very best.

Haney and Yates would have left him for dead

never knew about WBF. while I do think you can better the contests in many ways, that format was very strange to see with the over-amped up commentary. That's the style in which american wrestling is commented I take it?

awesome!! way better than pro shows of today where we can see retards dancing on ghetto music

What else do you expect from Vince McMahon, he's the god of Pro Wrestling. Tried a lot of things: WBF-ailure, XFL-ure,

But he has some crazy ideas at some times

littleguns · « **Reply #14 on:** June 06, 2011, 03:52:16 AM »

Interestingly enough, Gary made more in those 2 years than he would have in a lifetime at the WBF...

Anyone know if he is doing the Masters show in Florida?

That's the edited clip from the 1991 WBF Championship, aired on WBF BodyStars, with Vince McMahon's voice dubbed over the actual commentators, Tom Platz and Greg Lewis.

Here's the real deal, with his intro film.

Honestly, I don't think the WBF or the XFL was a complete failure. Because of the WBF, bodybuilder's started getting much better compensation in their supplement contracts and a lot of the XFL camera shots and in helmet commentary is used in the NFL.

You have to fail a few times in life in order to succeed. That's why Vince is a billionaire.

Strydom, I believe, is the first man to get a six-figure check for winning a pro bodybuilding show.

Unfortunately, the WBF guaranteed that we'll get no legitimate drug testing for pro shows. The second (and final) WBF Championship shows what happens when guys are tested constantly and tested for everything but the kitchen sink.

He came to compete but first he has to mow down a few ninjas with a machine gun. Take that Flex.

I remember the Mike Quinn part as very funny. He was fat as hell and they made up a show in which he was arrested or something.

You're referring to the 1992 WBF show. The arrest gimmick was part of his pre-film routine. The one guy who legitimately did not show up was "The Phoenix" Vince Comeford, who was sidelined with pneumonia.

I beg to differ. Strydom looked terrific. Yes, his back is mediocre; but so was Yates' chest and Haney's legs, both strong points on Strydom.

WBF and XFL

The man likes money wasting ventures.
