George Scott also btw convinced Vince to use the name Wrestlemania.


Retired wrestler George Scott was Vince McMahon’s booker, recruiting talent from other territories and helping conceive storylines.

George Scott: “At one point, Vince wanted to call the event The Colossal Tussle. I thought that was really stupid. So I started flapping my arms and skipping around the room, going, ‘Oh, the Colossal Tussle, the Colossal Tussle.’ I was doing a little imitation of (former Georgia promoter) Jim Barnett. He was a good friend but very effeminate. I skipped out the door and Vince yelled, ‘Get back in here. We’re calling it WrestleMania.’”
