What happened to Do muraco? Had a few moments at wrestlemania 4 and summerslam and then replaced Graham at survivor series on hogans team. Then he left. Not sure why?

He was fired in October of '88, after getting into a backstage altercation with Nick Bockwinkel, who was working for the WWF as a road agent at the time.

Was he not ECW champion at one point before ECW had gone extreme?

He then won it back from Sandman on Apr. 3 1993 (aired on Hardcore TV on Jun. 1 1993) and lost it to Tito Santana on Aug. 8, 1993 (aired on Hardcore TV on Aug. 24 1993). |

He was probably the greatest heel Intercontinental champion in the early 80s. People just HATED him. His promos were gold & his feuds with Pedro Morales, Rocky Johnson & Jimmy Snuka are fantastic.

Muraco was a terrible babyface. You could tell he was phoning it in that last year
Now his heel IC days? Hell yes!

Funny thing is, they probably would have made a great heel pairing. Don Muraco bulked up a lot more during this time, him being under the tutelage of Superstar Billy Graham would have made a lot of sense. The heel promos would have been very entertaining. |

Now this sounds GREAT Yep. The only problem is, where does he fit in the picture. Hogan was working with Andre and DiBiase, but a run against Muraco with Graham would have been fun. Macho and Honky were battling it out for the IC title at this time too, and Honky was a great IC champion, so I don't see him there. He could have had a great feud with Warrior prior to his IC title reign. But then what? |

Vince wouldve been all for it you know that with those physiques Hell he wouldve made a good challenger for Mach on a SNME |
