Former WWE Superstar Mario Mancini is claiming that Hulk Hogan politicked to get head booker George Scott fired for pitching a WWE Championship run for Randy Savage.
During the latest edition of his podcast, Mancini recalled the time where Scott, who was with WWE as a booker from 1983 to 1986, was fired because Hogan wasn’t happy about having Savage become the World Champion. He said,
“I would have had quite a different career if George Scott stayed the booker and not Pat Patterson. George Scott got fired because he wanted to put the strap on Randy Savage right away. Hogan, he went and he pitched and bitched to Vince, and [Vince] fired George and brought in Pat.”
