That was a damn crime--and after the whistle. McMahon was heading for a Hall of Fame career.

After watching him try to act, I think dementia was already there. Or am I thinking of Brian Bostwick?

I always thought McMahon had a screw or two or three loose waaaaaay back in the mid-80's. No surprise here.
