Morton Downey Jr Show - Whiny Ex Wrestler meets Dr. D !

This channel contains the best wrestling promos of all time, as well as a few clips which might as well be wrestling promos. These clips are mostly from 80's & 90's NWA and WWF. If it cant hang with the Iron Sheik, Jake the Snake Roberts, The Four Horsemen or The Road Warriors--- then it didnt deserve to be on here....

David Shultz = Prime Minister of Kayfabe

[@michaelrubin4832]

Shultz legit didn't like thunderbolt Patterson its not kayfabe and Lou's injuries were real

[@streetsofsouthphilly]

He committed career suicide on national TV.

[@punypoppy9147]

Yeah David did what he was told to do by McMahon basically. David took it far yeah, but still. I hope McMahon paid his fine of what... $450,000? but i doubt it. Anyway, Schultz became a legend and one can't measure that in money tbh. There was a lot of truth in the bitch slaps David threw at the interviewer, yeah it's not fake to the degree that the wrestlers do get hurt and they endure pain for living, it's a very high risk job to have. =) I would had raised Schultz to pedestal for how he handled that reporter. :D

@@fiskerboy2011 Oh he was legit tough and he cut such a good promo you wanted to see him get his ass kicked. Still, I watched this back in 1988 when it first aired.

And it wasn't until 1992 but when the Ring Boy scandal broke in the wake of the Steroid Scandal it proved Jim Wilson was telling the truth. I've seen a clip of Schultz himself from 1996 admitting he saw shady stuff going on. That stuff is indefensible, and he's defending it here. Some of those boys were 11 years old.

Paul Heyman calling in to bash the guy on stage and discredit his experiences to protect kayfabe is hilarious. Dr. D, legendary racist, arguing with the Black dude and saying there was no discrimination in the business is comedy gold. Obviously we all now know that wrestling is fake, that there was rampant uninvited homosexual encounters by the promoters, that there was blading and racism...but the boys working so hard to protect the business was honorable, while at the same time tragic for the men who got raped, jobbed out for not playing politics, discriminated against, etc. Love how Captain Lou dodges the "real or fake" question by saying he doesn't know what other promoters do, but in his experience bookers always put guys who would win versus lesser guys to manipulate the outcomes. He sold that lie so well, even Mort bought it and didn't press the issue. Racism and man-rape aside, the world was such a better place when we believed wrestling was real. Morton Downey Jr. was a beast. His show was legendary!
