"WrestleMania III’s Lost Tapes: The Press Conference That Almost Started a Riot"

The explosive WrestleMania III press conference was WWE’s greatest work of fiction—until now. Relive February 27, 1987, through restored, uncensored audio of Andre the Giant snapping at Vince McMahon, Hogan threatening to “break Andre’s legs,” and Bobby Heenan screaming, “This isn’t wrestling—it’s WAR!” Uncover how WWE planted fake reporters to ask “scripted” questions, why Gorilla Monsoon nearly choked out Heenan live on stage, and the secret clause in Andre’s contract that forced him to lose. This episode dissects the $2 million lie that sold 93,000 tickets, featuring bombshell commentary from insiders who reveal how cocaine, cash, and corporate greed turned a regional feud into a global spectacle. WARNING: After this, you’ll never watch the “body slam heard ’round the world” the same way again.
