Wrestlers/managers that should have had a spot on this show
I am def the biggest 80s WWF fan and I love this show but I wonder why these popular WWF personalties were never included on this show
1. Jesse Ventura- Why not include him? He was always very colorful and entertaing to hear either as a comentator or wrestler. He started the the
heel comentator phase. At least a few live action segements with Mean Gene
2. King Kong Bundy- Make a cool sidekick for Big John Studd in the animated
segments
3. Bob Orton or Terry Funk- One of these evil cowboys would have made a
great addition to the show esp Orton since he was Roddy Piper's henchman
on WWF during the time and Piper was the main heel on the show. I recall Funk
did one live action skit but I feel either him or Orton should have had a regular spot on the show
4. Jimmy Hart- I recall Bobby Heenan made just a couple of animated/live action
appearances, Hart should have had the same chance
5. Ricky Steamboat- Very popular face and I recall was about as popular as Junkyard Dog, Jimmy Snuka, or Tito Santana
6. George Steele- Very cartoon-like character perfect for this series
7. Uncle Elmer-Maybe just a oneshot appearance on a Hillbilly Jim family reuion episode
8. Fred Blassie/Gorilla Monsoon- Have them appear in just one or two live skits
because both were legends in the wrestling buisness
I also wanta say that if this saturday morning cartoon lasted 2 or 3 more years then it would have def been a shame not to feature Jake Roberts, Honkytonk Man,
Randy Savage, Elizabeth, Ted Dibiase, and the heel Andre the Giant because they
all fit right in to the cartoon/comic book aspect of WWF.
I also wish Vince Mchman didn't fire Sgt. Slaughter before the show was greenlighted because he def could be easily made into a cartoon hero. Also
wish one of Kamala's WWF stints was during this show because he would have made
some very entertaing episodes either animated or live action
