Muhammad Ali’s Trash Talk Did Not Pay Off in Vince McMahon’s WWE

Muhammad Ali is without a doubt the greatest boxer of all time. He established his name beyond the boxing ring and established himself as a dominant figure in the sporting world at large. However, Ali’s life was never without drama since he did some out-of-the-box things.

Likewise, In 1976, a memorable WWF event occurred. The boxing icon came to attend the WWF match since Ali was preparing for his fight with Antonio Inoki later that month in Japan.

Furthermore, Gorilla Monsoon, an Italian-American wrestler, was in the ring with his opponent. However, at the end of the match, Gorilla Monsoon tossed his opponent out of the ring directly in front of Muhammad Ali. It enraged the legend, and he yelled at Monsoon.

Ali threw off his jacket and shirt and ran into the ring. Soon after entering the ring, the boxing veteran began firing punches in the air, attacking the 400lbs wrestler.
