A new book delves into the real-life drama in professional wrestling outside of the ring.
On May 23, 1999, Owen Hart — aka the Blue Blazer — was preparing for a heroic moment.
“Before the broadcast cut out, you could see Vince standing there, in his capacity as a character, heaving his breath, trying to act. He was making a face of theatrical determination,” writes Riesman.Writer tells all in new book about WWE and boss Vince McMahon: ‘Learn to eat a s–t sandwich’ “Vince basically learned the dark art of being a wrestling promoter from his father,” Riesman said of McMahon Sr. who had previously abandoned their family for another one.“That really set him down a path where he realized he could take all of these resentments, all of these frustrations, many of them with his own father, and try to use them as leverage to assert himself or at least use them as motivation to assert himself.
In particular, a police report from this time stated that “Vince McMahon tried to talk [Argentino] out of making the complaint against Snuka.”
