Just imagine if Vince actually paid all of these guys fairly. Would it hurt Vince McMahon to be a $100 millionaire instead of a billionaire? Imagine how many lives could have been saved had Vince genuinely cared about this group of ~30 wrestlers. He had the ability to pay each of them well, cover their travel expenses, and give them ample time off to heal. Instead, he basically ran them out there like horses until they dropped.
lol got to admire vince, he is in better shape than ken patera, and doesn't sound like a 50 year old guy complaining, he is still working. Maybe vince is just smarter, vince never threw an atlas stone at mcdonalds for denying him burgers, he made sure he was never in that situation, and don't get started on money the wrestlers make enough, I am from a third world country
Patera has said in other shoots that Vince sent his wife a check for $1000 dollars every week for the two years he was in prison. When Patera returned he was told it was a loan that had to be paid back. He owed Vince over a hundred grand. That's why his paychecks were so small. Vince was deducting the money.
@@spaceace1006 you think it's petty? In a sense Vince kept paying Patera while he was in prison. Paying him without getting anything back in return. Hell, Vince didn't have to do that but he did but yeah, he's the one being petty. 🙄

Not the first and not the last to say this about Vince. And Patera like... He wrestled for Vinces old man Vince Sr and was there in the old days of the WWWF. The really old school of the WWWF. Give him credit for not dying before his 50's and having the balls to speak out the bs Vince jr put them through in the 80's.
I think overall Ken is a decent guy,who like the rest of us,has had his ups an downs..but man,you can tell this is still a sore subject for him..no acting involved here.Vince is a real prick. Just ask anyone who knows him.
You know, it’s a funny thing. You watch these former wrestlers waxing nostalgic about the old days, and they seldom have a harsh word about each other. Generally, they seem to regard each other with great respect. Except for McMahon Jr. For him they reserve a special portion of venom. They remember him for setting the Asshole bar pretty high. And they’re pretty consistent with that. Wonder why that’s the case.
Because as the most successful and richest promoter of all time, Vince is an easy target. Simple as that. A lot of these guys blame Vince for everything and for their own shortcomings instead of admitting that they messed up, it's too easier to blame the "evil" rich promoter for everything instead of looking themselves in the mirror.
@@jonathanturbide2232 Mmm, I don’t think McMahon’s wealth or success is relevant. You can be an asshole and be poor, or you can be an asshole and be affluent as well. Being a decent human being is a choice, wholly independent of money.
I love the people whining "he's jobbing to a loser like Bad News Brown!" Meanwhile Bad News is feuding with Hulk Hogan and WWF World Champion Randy Savage simultaneously while being put over at Wrestlemania IV and eventually being moved into a Wrestlemania feud Roddy Piper and Jake Roberts. The guy was a bonafide player in the WWF, Patera should have been jobbing to him.
Bad News Brown was another classic example of a guy who was lied to by Vince, he was told he was gonna get a world title run, once he realised that wasn't happening he was out of there. The Roddy piper storyline where they refused to job to each other didn't help either. Bruce Pritchard classically spun it by saying when Vince says that he means "maybe you will be champion"
@@user-sb2tb9oe7d Yep. There was a rumor that Savage was going to win the I-C title at the Main Event, Dibiase would win the World title at WMIV. Savage was going to drop the I-C title to Bad News during the summer and at Summerslam Savage would win the belt from Dibiase while Bad News defended the I-C title, likely against Warrior after feuding with Bret over it during the summer. That would have been interesting!
@@CatsClaw44 I mean without that the year long story of the Mega Powers wouldn't have been as effective unless they went with the original plan of Savage getting disqualified to retain at Wrestlemania and then losing the title at Summerslam.

Here's a Iconic powerlifter WORLD record holder- Olympian, back in the day. This World Class Athlete Trained another decorated Body builder in Mr. USA Tony Atlas into the business....And Also Vince is very GREEN on Bodybuilders/Wrestlers He Screwed Billy Graham out of the same DEAL....
Patera is awesome. The man has no filter. He just says whatever he wants and doesn't care who gets offended. This is why they won't put him in the HOF. Can you imagine him on stage giving his speech?
I like Patera but if your coming out of prison and you need a job, your lucky Vince McMahon had something for you… I think a lot of these guys took their gimmicks too personal. Enjoy the ride fellas because us mere mortals would have loved to be in your shoes…
Did you catch that injury list he rattled off and living out of motels in Bugtussel, WI...and basically having to use roids to put asses in seats and to make physique- obsessed McMahon happy? I dunno.
I think the lesson for anyone who wants to/works for the WWF/WWE, is unless your the next Hogan/SCSA/Cena/Rock, you better save every penny you can, because your career will be relatively short and the release can happen anytime. And a lot of those guys back then lived fast and the money went even faster.

He remembers dates, cities, people present, what he said, what that person said, what the person behind him said ... but he "Blah blah blah." 's everything Vince said. I'm not a Vince guy, but ... Hmmm
The ability to acrue finances does not always equate directly to intelligence...if that were the case every physicist would be a billionaire.. storing wealth more than anything equals your ability or capacity to fuck others over when possible and an over the top sense of competitiveness and ambition
In all the interviews on RUclips Patera seems to 95% negative towards others and everything and about 5% positive (He's also the victim) all the time and definitely seems to have selective memory about some events
It is so unreal that he puts bad news brown over and brown never becomes champion WWF really screwed peters he should have been champion not jobbing brown or anyone else

Ken Patera is all about alibis.
Patera was not a good face. The guy was made to be a heel. I mean, listen to him talk. The guy is a real life heel. He's always in a pissed off mood. Patera was a jabroni ex con but he still made a better heel.
He remembers dates, cities, people present, what he said, what that person said, what the person behind him said ... but he "Blah blah blah." 's everything Vince said. I'm not a Vince guy, but ... Hmmm
I smell BS. Why would you work a few more months for that money? Bad math.
Don’t say you’re more educated than Vince if you can’t financially keep up with him.
The ability to acrue finances does not always equate directly to intelligence...if that were the case every physicist would be a billionaire.. storing wealth more than anything equals your ability or capacity to fuck others over when possible and an over the top sense of competitiveness and ambition
Him as a babyface just DID NOT work. I don't mean to be redundant, but Gawd, terrible face. Awesome heel though.
In all the interviews on RUclips Patera seems to 95% negative towards others and everything and about 5% positive (He's also the victim) all the time and definitely seems to have selective memory about some events
When if you can lose if you must but always cheat 😂
He lost!!!😂
ff
It is so unreal that he puts bad news brown over and brown never becomes champion WWF really screwed peters he should have been champion not jobbing brown or anyone else
Bad News Brown was main eventing with Hogan and Savage. Just because he didn't have a fake belt doesn't mean that he wasn't drawing money.
@@CatsClaw44 Bad News Brown made money but BBB even said Vince still underpaid him compared to his main event opponents. The last straw for BBB was during his feud with Piper he said his money didn't even come close to piper's money.
Ken could not talk
Ken is delusional to think he was a top star.
He was a top star and main-eventer from 1977-1985 for both Vince Sr. & Jr. working world titles feuds with Bruno, Backlund, & Hogan.

Performer
He certainly was for a good period of time. No denying that.
He was a bum .. it was definitely not exciting or entertaining to watch him perform . The Brooklyn brawler was more appealing let’s be real .
That's a fallacy
