It was shocking and what made the shock even worse was Schiavone's serious reaction to it. You knew it was real. I've said this since I was a kid but Schiavone deserved a much bigger career than broadcasting wrestling matches/doing interviews. He had a voice that would have been perfect for the NFL, maybe even the NBA. Schiavone eventually disowned wrestling, likely because he only considered it a stepping stone to much bigger things but instead it was the defining moment of his career.
Magnum showed up to one of those wrestling Fan Fests a couple years ago and I was tempted to go but decided against it. I do know if I walked up to him in person I would start crying. 1986 was a defining moment of my life. Lots of good, some bad, and seeing Magnum would bring a LOT of those memories flooding back.
