Sidebottom Posted March 27, 2015 Report Posted March 27, 2015 Mick Foley said in his book, and I'm paraphrasing, something about an older guy that Mick didn't think was worth anything that Vince was was paying generously. He mentioned it to Terry Funk and Funk said "Mick, sometimes Vince just likes to be nice." Was it ever confirmed who that was? Seems like that description could fit Sheik. It was Terry Gordy as The Executioner. I think this was after Gordy had his stroke, so he probably wasn't able to do much. I'm guessing Vince brought him in as a favor to Michael Hayes. Ol' Doc was brand new to the company as a television performer only, so that can be ruled out as a reason if it were in fact Gordy.

He wasn't exactly brand new. Vince may live in a bubble, but he knew who Terry Gordy was and people, not just Hayes, could have and would have clued him up on what had happened to Gordy in the last few years.
