Murray Hodgson confronts Vince McMahon on Donahue in 1992 about allegations that he was fired from the then-WWF after refusing to sleep with then Vice President Pat Patterson
@@twinktoiletsbestfriendsmomscan Yhh but do you have proof or a video of wrestlers talking about it in shoot interviews? Because this is the first I’m hearing it
DAM!!!...This 'back & forth' between Vince and Murray Hodgson is more entertaining and had my attention more than any episode of Raw over the last 3 years...
@Random Commenter that doesn't mean he isn't telling the truth here. he wasn't disputing the argument of possible sexual harassment. his argument was why did they not approach him about it while they were still working at the wwf or go straight to the authorities 2:01 sounds like a disgruntled former employee because he got fired.
if any of this were true look at today's postcasts.. former wrestlers do nothing but bad mouth him but they never bring up sexual harassment cover ups. he fired people over alot less. nobody was above firing no matter how much money they were bringing in.
Apparently, Murray Hodgson made a career out of suing ex employer’s for the same accusations. The judge in his case not only dismissed his lawsuit, but allegedly called Murray Hodgson , ‘A Habitual liar and con man.’ Murray Hodgson would soon disappear from the spotlight. It is believed that Hodgson now lives and works as a night club owner in the Michigan area.
Figure 4 Weekly: "Hodgson was incredibly slick on talk shows, including getting the better of Vince McMahon in a lengthy argument on "Donahue." The only sign that there was more to the story were McMahon's comments about Hodgson demanding an immediate payoff to skip the appearance and a how they should talk about Hodgson's past, which wasn't followed up on. It was most certainly followed up on during his deposition, though, where McDevitt set traps about a number of topics that he could refute with proof. Perhaps most damningly, this included evidence that Hodgson and a partner would make a habit of using personal ads and chat lines to find closeted gay men so they could blackmail whoever they found. It got to the point where Hodgson's lawyer, who had represented Sgt. Slaughter in previous lawsuits, took a break, quit on the spot, and apologized to everyone on the WWE side."
Interesting. Thank you for sharing. Tom Kole did settle his suit. I believe Terry Garvin was the one who molested him. Hodgson was just trying to cash in.
Where did you find out all that information about Murray Hodgson? I have been looking for a while, but I was never able to find out anything about his con man past
No matter how much the Vince marks want to spin it, being fired 2 weeks after rejecting Pat Patterson's sexual advances is too coincidental. You can bring x, y, and z into the situation ... but going back to the main issue at hand, it is too coincidental. Hodgson is telling the truth in that regard and Vince is doing his usual playing of "I'm the victim" card.
It's very interesting that Murray Hodgson brought this up when others jumped in with their accusations, and I like how Vince was going to bring up his past and Hodgson interrupted him, because he has a shady past of false accusations
This guy Murray Hodgson seems very sincere i believe him over Vince McMahon even though he lost his lost suit it does not mean he his a lair-the audience is not stupid that is why they cheered for Murray
My take on this, I think there's some truths on both sides. Maybe Pat Patterson did cross the line at some point and it was pure coincidence when Murray was fired and he used the event to try to get paid. Wouldn't surprise me if Vince tried to settle out of court any smart businessman would, But seeing as Murray has a history of making this stuff up, He likely milked it for all it's worth. But truthfully neither side has much credibility so we may never know the whole truth.
Vince McMahon is a god but Hodgeson did have a very goodVoice to transfer well to TV . He could of easily been at the time a interviewer atleast for the wrestlers
In 1992, Patterson was accused of sexual harassment by former ring announcer Murray Hodgson and released from the company until the charges were dropped, when he was promptly rehired. After dropping the charges, Hodgson's attorney referred to Hodgson as "a lifelong con man."
@@moviesynopsis001 was I? Because that was a direct quote from another story on that subject. So find something else that is ancient history to dig up.
This is a heated exchange. They both held their own. Crazy to see 30 year old videos after the current scandal Vince finds himself in. Looks like he just buys people off. Patterson came out publicly as being gay long after this interview but internally it was known for decades before this interview. It's rare to see someone go toe to toe with Mcmahon. This was an interesting clip.
I like how Donahue stayed mostly quiet while the two of them discussed the issue. Some hosts can't shut their faces, but Donahue does a superb job of just letting the story come right out.
wow the guy says " you have tried to buy me off so i wouldnt reveal these allegations" and now its come out Vince bought another employee off to keep quiet about sexual harassment in WWE !
and it's also been brought out that this guy have sued other people for the same thing and was even called an habitual con man by the judge in the WWE case
Note when McMahon brings up looking into his past, Murray is quick to dismiss that as nothing. He doesn't even say "There's nothing in my past." He just says "I don't think we should be bringing up the past." Con man.
@ant8tfive I'm sitting at that table and I DO know for sure that everyone, with the possible exception of Hodgson, were definitely telling the truth on that show.
I am glad the truth came out. Pat Patterson didn't do this and it finally came out. Sad that people would ruin people's lives to get attention. Pat Patterson went back to working for Vince when the truth came out. And this Murray guy is a con artist. If only people knew of his past on this show. And you knew he was lying when he said 3 weeks and then 6 weeks.
Well, the Vince marks are clearly all over You Tube with the spin. Clearly, there are shades of grey on both sides in this segment. Vince knew sexual harrassment was going on from Patterson and company, and turned a blind eye to it. Given the timing of Hodgson's firing, that is also an extreme red flag one week after he refused to sleep with Patterson. Vince definitely is far more at fault for not taking action than Hodgson is for anything.
This is why he doesn’t like doing interviews today. He was smeared a lot by people in the past. Nobody who is on TV likes being smeared especially when they need fans at their shows.
You guys in the comments disgust me!. All of you are arguing and calling either Vince or Murray liars while overlooking the emotional fact that all Patterson wanted was some man meat.
Look how calm Vince McMahon is during this exchange compared to how he acted with Bob Costas and Armen Keteyian on HBO years later!! V.McMahon is acting like the CORNBALL, babyface announcer here in 1992 and MR.MCMAHON with the HBO guys. I'm thinking V.McMahon believed he was "Mr.McMahon" in real life after he became that character on TV around 1998.
This has aged like a fine wine
Vince’s mother touched me

Donohue stays quiet for the entire 5 plus segment. This is the difference between TV today and TV then, when the show actually focuses on the guests.
For these 5 minutes he was quiet but for the remaining 40 minutes he was piping in during everyone’s claims and visibly annoying his guests
Who's here after January 25, 2024?

He's not exactly the only one to insinuate this kind of thing about Pat Patterson.
Holy shit. How did I not know about this.
I knew nothing about any of this, I am not a fan of wrestling. This is nothing compared to what's coming out now. Vince McMahon is a pervert.
@@merricat3025 Yeah. It's a lengthy 67 pages of craziness

"Homosexual passes" and "3 weeks later, I was on your rear end", I don't think he wanted those two sentences together in his argument...ijs
Are there any clips of Murray Hodgson announcing on WWF television?
"Three weeks later, I was on your rear end."

I love how Donahue knew when to shut up and let em fight. He was the best.
i wanna see Vince and Murray go at it at the next PPV!!

Murray Hodgson gave Vince a serious Rock Bottom and People's Elbow here. He had him on the defensive the whole time.
The Rock use to give Pat Patterson another kind of bottom
Now Vince McMahon didn't learn from his mistakes as he's now being investigating for having an affair with a former WWE Paralegal.
It's very interesting that Murray Hodgson brought this up when others jumped in with their accusations, and I like how Vince was going to bring up his past and Hodgson interrupted him, because he has a shady past of false accusations
Vince: Once and Always a heel.
Anyone have the rest of this?
Vince v Murray the best feud ever, book it for Wrestlemania 40 😂😂 great backstory

Was this the end? There has to be more
McMahon outed pat patterson in 92!
Just read a short a while ago that after Hodgson' case ended, his own lawyer called him a "life-long conman".
Now Who is the Con Man!!! VKM!!! 2024!!!!
Interesting when you watch it now 36 years later. I bet this guy is saying "told you so"
