Well, it probably didn't help that Harley bashed WWF on television before he jumped ship. I'm not even sure in my limited knowledge about the World Class product, if they ever acknowledged New York other than to possibly promote any talent exchange they had with Vince, Sr. Not that they had to considering how more popular they were until Junior started raiding their talent.

I read somewhere that WWF's magazine in 1984 did a feature on the David Von Erich memorial show. Plus, Kerry (and I think Kevin) did a couple of MSG show's in the early 80's according to the Cawthon site. I'm sure the reason Vince called them a great family was because Fritz never made any serious attempts at going head to head with him in the 80's when World Class was hot and ripe to become a bigger company and threat to the WWF.

I remember that, it sounded so stupid. That was definitely the end of that part of his gimmick, thank God.

I think they would refer to his name on occasion in interviews and introducing him. With Santana, that was more like a nickname even though it was in front of his name.

That blue gladiator outfit* did wonders for his size. Blue, really? REALLY???

Johnny Polo: Were you an arm wrestler, Gorilla? Gorilla Monsoon: Yes I was. J.P.: How were you? G.M.: I used to eat guys like you for breakfast. J.P: Yeah, but how'd you do at arm wrestling?

Very true, but it just made me wonder if Vince knew about Kerry's foot then and had it as an ace up his sleeve while he was sabotaging the card from taking place.

Yes. Then why, a year and a half later from 12/19/88 no less, did he sign Kerry and put the IC belt on him as a house-warming gift?
