You are correct. Andy pitched his idea to Vince Sr, who turned him down. If he pitched his idea to Jr., he would have likely gotten a more sympathetic ear.

And there are folks in the business today who don't understand the business like Andy did. Without Andy, we don't get Cyndi Lauper managing Richter. We don't get Bam Bam vs. LT (whether that's a bad thing is up for debate). We don't get any celebrity doing wrestling shit, for better or worse.

And Lawler doesn't become a household name for slapping him on Letterman.
