"Dr. D" David Schultz


"Dr. D" David Schultz was a wrestling "bad guy" redneck in the WWF in 1984.

He was fired from the fed shortly after slapping 20/20 reporter John Stossel to the ground - causing permanent eardrum damage and an immediate cessation to the interview. (The question that caused the slapping: "Is Wrestling Fake?").

He was also reported to have challenged Mr. T - who was preparing to make his "fake" debut at Wrestlemania I - to a "real" match backstage.

He never really caught on anywhere else, which is a shame because his performance in today's video is absolutely priceless. (Bonus kudos to "Mean" Gene Okerlund - who sets up the segment with sufficient dread - like we're about to witness a clip from Faces of Death.)
