['Mean' Gene Okerlund is waiting backstage to interview Don Muraco]
Gene Okerlund: "The 'Magnificent' Muraco from Sunset-- [Okerlund spots Muraco off camera] Oh, Don Muraco! Don, come in here. I saw you surfing over there on those, those huge breakers in Hawaii, some of the greatest surfing, I guess, in the entire world."
Don Muraco: "That was fantastic, wasn't it?"
Gene Okerlund: "It was."
Don Muraco: "It's so nice to get a chance to chitchat with you a little bit. What would you like to know about 'The Magnificent One', 'Mean' Gene?"
Gene Okerlund: "I-I'd like to know is this something, is this a regular part of your training, wh-what kind of a raining, uh, training schedule do you go through?"
Don Muraco: "Well first of all, above all, you have hard vigorous workouts, you know? In the water, on the sand, up and down the mountains running and training. But then you gotta watch your diet. At a certain time, every day, every three, four hours, you've gotta eat. And as a matter of fact it's time right now; would you like a doughnut?" [Muraco pulls a powdered doughnut from the front pocket of his hoodie and offers it to 'Mean' Gene.]
Gene Okerlund: "A doughnut?!"
Don Muraco: "A doughnut. [Muraco takes a bite of the doughnut and talks with his mouth full.] This is what happens, this is how you maintain championship status. Have a doughnut. C'mon, have a doughnut!"
Gene Okerlund: "Wh- no! No.
Don Muraco: "Have a doughnut."
Gene Okerlund: "Donny, please."
Don Muraco: "I've got more. I've got much more of them." [Muraco pulls out several more doughnuts]
Gene Okerlund: "I see that!"
Don Muraco: "I happen to like doughnuts. If you like doughnuts, and you eat doughnuts, then you can end up to be big and strong, just like me. And then you uh..." [A piece of doughnut falls out of Muraco's mouth]
Gene Okerlund: "Here-- Oh! Oh, wait..."
Don Muraco: "Oh... It's alright."
Gene Okerlund: "I can't hear a- I can't hear a thing... [Muraco spits some of the doughnut he's eating on the floor] you're saying. I can't hear a thing you're saying."
Don Muraco: "Where's my other doughnuts? [to someone off camera] Bring me a box of doughnuts over here."
Gene Okerlund: "A box of doughnuts?"
Don Muraco: [Muraco is handed the box, and offers it to 'Mean' Gene] "Here! Have a doughnut!"
Gene Okerlund: "Your mouth is full! Don't eat with your mouth..."
Don Muraco: [spitting the rest of the doughnut into the box] "It's ok, have a doughnut anyway... It's, it's... you know, it's just a little-- You have to maintain a sports regimen. You have to have a... [Okerlund has picked up a doughnut] Go on, take a bite! [Okerlund returns the doughnut to the box dismissively] Ahyum" [Muraco takes another bite of doughnut and walks off camera]
Gene Okerlund: "Thank you, 'Magnificent' Muraco. God, I'm glad I asked that question...I'm really, I'm really glad that I asked that-- [Okerlund spots Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan off camera] Bobby Heenan, come on in.I don't-- Certainly, you don't let your men train like that. [Okerlund tries to brush the debris from Muraco's doughnut eating exploits from his suit] I've got the powdered sugar all over me..."
Bobby Heenan: [examining the mess] "Huh..." [Heenan breaks into a smile]
Gene Okerlund: "What, what are you laughing about?! Seems everybody's laughing about something these days."
Bobby Heenan: "Well, the reason I'm laughing, and what amuses me is the fact-- [Ken Patera walks on camera, flexes his bicep and kisses it, right in front of Okerlund's face]
Gene Okerlund: [to Patera] "Hey! What did you just do?!"
Ken Patera: "I kissed my bicep."
Gene Okerlund: [laughing] "You didn't just kiss your--"
Ken Patera: "Ohoho yes, I certainly did."
Gene Okerlund: [to Heenan, who has wandered off camera] "Come here."
Ken Patera: "Are you envious, are you jealous?"
Gene Okerlund: "No, but I think that's a little ridiculous.
Ken Patera: [to Heenan] "Tell 'Mean' Gene [Gene Okerlund: 'I got one guy shoving doughnuts down his mouth, down his throat.'] what a spartan regiment we're on.'
Gene Okerlund: [also to Heenan, who has walked back on camera] "Mr. Heenan?"
Bobby Heenan: "Mr Patera is in the gym before most of you people get up. And when most of you people go to bed, Studd and Patera are back in the gym. They're athletes. They're always in training. I'm constantly negotiating contracts. I'm constantly using my brains to outsmart all these so-called other brilliant people in professional wrestling. And it doesn't take much effort to do that. John Studd was not slammed by Andre The Giant [see Note 1] and I want to make that--"
Gene Okerlund: "Hey! He didn't retire."
Bobby Heenan: "No, he DIDN'T retire, because the man [meaning Andre The Giant] is a liar. He should retire! He's not going to get the money, he got a piece of it but he's not going to get the money. I'll tell you what he's going to get."
Gene Okerlund: "What?"
Bobby Heenan: "You know those doughnuts Mr. Muraco had out here?"
Gene Okerlund: "Yeah?"
Bobby Heenan: "That's what he's gonna get."
Gene Okerlund: "There's not much left of them!"
- Note 1:
Andre The Giant defeated
Big John Studd at Wrestlemania I in a "Career vs. $15,000 Body Slam Challenge". After the victory, Andre took the bag filled with the prize money and started to throw it out to the crowd, before Heenan managed to grab the bag (and what was left of the money) and escape with it to the back.
