Podcast appearances and mentions of Vincent J Mcmahon

We continue our look back through the WWE Hall of Fame archives and making a new determination about whether each inductee should retain their place or be stripped of the honour. Today we cover the 1996 Hall of Fame inductions- Jimmy Snuka, Johnny Rodz, Killer Kowalski, Lou Albano, Baron Mikel Scicluna, Pat Patterson, Vincent J McMahon and The Valiant Brothers- but who will survive the cut? The Random Wrestling Review is brought to you this week by Old Man, Stephen and Tinky.

We hop in the ol' WrestleMania Time Machine and warp back to Madison Square Garden on the night of December 17, 1979. We find a strange, mysterious WWF that we're not familiar with; a WWF not owned by Vince K. McMahon dominating the pro wrestling landscape, but a northeastern territory owned by Vincent J. McMahon that has packed the most famous arena in the world. We find a diverse card reflecting the ethnic mixing bowl that is The Big Apple. We benefit from the the recently renamed WWF rejoining the NWA, which gives us not just Dusty Rhodes vs. Harley Race for the NWA World's Heavyweight Championship, but also talents from Antonio Inoki's New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJWP), the WWA from California, and other incredible stars. We encounter a young upstart named "The Fabulous Hulk Hogan" making his debut at The Garden. We think he's going to go places! We also encounter The Great Hossein Arab, later known as The Iron Sheik. Bob Backlund is in action to secretly recapture the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. Plus, Pat Patterson defends the brand new Intercontinental Championship. Thanks for listening!
