yeah i know...slogan 'icopro,you gotta want it...vince really just turned it into a wrestling over the top skit,,1st show at least wasn't prop laden as 2nd one,,how did they convince mike quinn to do that act?but in real life he was like that persona so they must of just said act as u would and he said'gotta straight jacket?
They were already short-handed as it was. Comeford was out with pneumonia; Ferrigno bailed as soon as the drug-testing started; and Luger, the guest poser (and rather foolish attempt at a Ferrigno replacement) broke his arm in a motorcycle accident less than a week out.
McMahon tried to make the WBF a self-contained unit: His own magazine, his own supplement line, his own bodybuilding show (WBF Body Stars).
Remember that he tried to get a 10,000-seat arena for the second show, with the headline of a returning Lou Ferrigno vs. champion Gary Strydom. But, with the feds giving him and the then-WWF a prostrate exam with a catcus, there was no way the wrestlers were going to be drug-tested without the bodybuilders going through the wringer, too.
McMahon went to the extremes (as usual), from letting the WBF guys take whatever they wanted to having Dr. Mauro Dipasquale test them for everything but the kitchen sink. That's what sealed the WBF and ensured there'd be no real drug-testing in the IFBB. If the Weider guys had to go through what McMahon's bodybuilders did, we would have been dozens of guys looking like Mike Quinn (circa '92).
