10. Mel Phillips, WWF Ring Announcer Turned Paedophile
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yjcIPMXi08 We start this list with a recent news story. WWE have released 'The History of WWE' on DVD and blu ray. For the majority of the production it's a pretty decent release, and it doesn't take too many liberties with historical legacies. It's a WWE production, so it puts itself over as you would expect. One big noticeable 'edit' on the feature involves the Hulk Hogan vs Andre the Giant Wrestlemania 3 match. The bout is shown from a peculiar singular angle, and the commentary is not featured. The reason for the odd camera angle? It has been suggested from various sources that the perspective used was picked in order to put out of shot Mel Phillips - former WWF ring announcer, behind the scenes worker ... and paedophile. You can understand why the WWE would not want to feature this man on the production. Mel Phillips was exposed as a paedophile in 1992, when a victim came forward with allegations he was harassed working as a young boy setting WWF rings up. Phillips resigned and it seems that the WWE now want to erase him from history given that the victim is reportedly still a big WWE fan who watches a lot of WWE TV and DVD features.
