8 Important Wrestling Events That Happened When Great Balls Of Fire Was Released
1. Vince McMahon Meets His Biological Father
Vinnie
Mac’s parents divorced a year after he was born, and he was raised as Vinnie
Lupton while his mother rendezvoused with other lovers. In a 2001 interview
with Playboy, McMahon said one of his stepfathers used to beat his mother and
then attacked him when he tried to protect her. “It is unfortunate that he died
before I could kill him,” he commented.
So
it was best for all parties involved that Vince Sr., at the urging of his new
wife Juanita, began visiting his 12-year-old son in 1957. Vince immediately fell
in love with his father, especially his father’s business. Although his dad
pushed him away from pro wrestling, Vince eventually wore him down and got
involved in the WWWF.
The
rest is history.
