“I’m actually a pretty nice guy,” ‘Mean’ Gene Okerlund said in an exclusive interview with WCNewz.
“I don’t know what else to say beyond that. You try to live right, do positive things, help people and this is still how they see you,” he said.
A teary-eyed Okerlund suddenly ended the interview by knocking over a chair & exiting the room, screaming: “Curse Jesse Ventura for first calling me “Mean” and Hulk Hogan for starting every interview repeating it! No, I don’t know something, Brother!”
How did he get that nickname anyway? Just because it rhymes with “Gene”? Poor guy…
Well, he did turn out to be hotline-schilling potty-mouth.
“Gentlemen, as you know….*sign falls off in background*…F$%& it!”
How sad.
The WWF would not have been as epic without “Mean” Gene Okerlund with the mic. I think his WCW days weren’t too shabby as well. I haven’t seen enough of his AWA work to make a judgment on that.
