stand back

Vince McMahon has always been on the cutting edge of wrestling, but what most people don’t realize is that he has failed more often than not. The doomed XFL football league, WBF bodybuilding federation (90-92), and hundreds of gimmicks (Repo man, Man Mountain Rock, and Mantaur to name a few). Back in the 1980’s anyone could seemingly be a music star since the business was booming thanks to MTV and the growth of radio. Vince McMahon recognized this. Unfortunately for us we got a song called “Stand Back” at the 1987 Slammy Awards, which featured the vocal stylings and bad dancing of Vinny Mac himself, and some incredibly bad miming by wrestlers pretending to accompany him with instruments. Just check it out.
