Having recently joined the “interview no-show” club, let’s have a look at some other no-show related interviews. Things go off the rails when Mean Gene has to interview a missing Captain Lou Albano. He also has to confront Kamala the Ugandan Headhunter about some interviews he missed up in St. Louis. Have a look at the WWF when things go off the rails!
I don’t remember seeing those interviews on television, lmao.

Gene mentioned the word “kayfabe” — meaning the wresting storyline. He was trying to get it back on track!

Mean Gene was also well known in Australia. His voice and commentary was pure Gold.

He’s legendary! In the Cable Guy when Jim Carrey says “That’s gotta hurt, Gene!” that had to be a Mean Gene reference.

I had so, so, so many good childhood Saturday afternoons watching Mean Gene on the WWF. We used to get minimum five hours of WWF on weekends.
2 hours Saturday afternoon. 1 hour of Maple Leafs Gardens on Saturday night at 7:00 PM — the best hour of the weekend. And then 2 more hours Sunday. Once a month, you’d get Saturday Night Main Event too, which was where all the big storylines launched.
