It's finally here! The very first of what will hopefully be a semi-regular series of questions posed to Don by YOU, the Don Muraco's Magnificent Podcast faithful! On this first ever episode of Ask Muraco Anything, Don discusses Angelo "King Kong" Mosca, defeating the Iron Sheik at the King of the Ring 1985 finals, hating the cold weather, Dutch Savage, PRISM Network's "Killer" Kal Rudman, the real reason he was fired from the WWF in 1988, why he didn't go to NWA/WCW after leaving the WWF, why his 1982 Mid-Atlantic run was so short, Lou Albano slipping on a meatball hero, Madison Square Garden payoffs, if he was ever considered for the position of NWA World Champion, his brief run as Aka Oni in the Japanese WAR promotion, his WCW Slamboree 1993 appearance, the Gordon Solie-Roddy Piper angle being cut short, King Curtis Ieakea's influence on Bruiser Brody, filming the Piledriver music video, all the crazy skits the WWF used to book him and Fuji on and probably a couple more questions that I forgot to mention. In the future, make sure to subscribe to the Twitter and keep your eye on the YouTube channel community board as we will be asking for questions again in a few weeks. Enjoy!
