Larry Zybyszko Speaks On 2001 Lawsuit Against WWE And Chris Jericho
WWE Hall of Famer Larry Zbyszko had great runs in the WWWF, AWA and WCW. As his notoriety grew he became using the moniker “Living Legend”. Zbyszko spoke to the It’s My Wrestling Podcast on why he filed a lawsuit against WWE and Chris Jericho in 2001 regarding the “Living Legend” nickname.
“Even though WCW just ended I was still using the ‘Living Legend” to do independent wrestling, TNA stuff when they started, so I was still using the living legend – that was my trademark,” Zbyszko noted. “And then he (Jericho) started using the living legend. I kind of was talking to some WWE people, I was actually trying to maybe work something out where I come in and wrestle Jericho – but then it didn’t work out so I wound up kind of filing a lawsuit against them to make them shut up.
“We filed it but then it was just kind of like a double knockout and nothing happened. Okay, we won’t use it, okay good. I mean there really wasn’t much I could do, I could come in and do broadcasting, I was getting too old to wrestle. I mean, there’s no hard feelings against the WWE or anything.”
The potential match between Chris Jericho and Larry Zbyszko would have caused the lawsuit filing to have never happened, but as he stated, Zbyszko has no animosity towards WWE or Chris Jericho. While speaking about WWE and the McMahons, Zbyszko discussed his dealings with Vince McMahon Sr. and what Vince Jr’s father was like.
“He was an approachable and very smooth character,” Zbyskzo recalled. “I mean, if you watched movies from the 1930s and 40s and 50s, Mr. McMahon Senior was like the perfect promoter from an old movie. I mean, he’d be walking down the back of the garden and even have his cashmere long, light brown jacket on. He had this habit of always having like four or five quarters in his hand, and he’d like move them around a little bit. So you get here a little jingling and you know Vince is coming.
“But he was a classy guy, grey hair, always looked good. If someone had a good idea he’d do it. If somebody had a bad idea you know, he had agents like Gorilla Monsoon, and obviously some of the guys if they kept bugging him too much and Vince knew that this is not a great idea he’d say, ‘you know what, that’s a good idea, I’m gonna go think about that.’ Then later that night, he’d go into one of the offices and see Gorilla Monsoon there and go – Gorilla. Fire that guy. So then it wasn’t Vince that was the bad guy it was one of those agents. One of the middlemen, but that’s the way the business had to go in those days.”

MCW TO EXIT LEGENDARY JOPPA, MD HOME
MCW's Dan McDevitt announced the following:
It is with mixed emotions that Dennis Wipprecht and I announce that at the end of December 2021 there will no longer be MCW Pro Wrestling events at the MCW Arena in Joppa, MD. We were going to make this announcement at the Toys for Tots Event this Saturday night but decided to make the announcement before then. We have run almost close to 100 events at this venue since 2013 and have almost a decade of memories there with our performers, our staff and our fans.
The shopping center there is going in a different direction and because of that its time for us to move on and we are ok with that. We were not blindsided by this out of nowhere, we have had a heads up for a little bit and have had the chance to make some adjustments. The MCW Pro Wrestling Training Center will be moving and will continue to operate as is but will not be in a building where we can also host events. We have an official press release on that in the next few weeks as the new facility is going to be great for all of our trainees.
We have a few facilities that we have been talking to, several venues are making offers to us so that they can be the new home base for MCW Pro Wrestling. Stay tuned to all of our social media platforms after the first of the year and we will be making those announcements. In the meantime we are going to close this chapter of our existence out as only we can. We are adding an event to the schedule in Joppa on Thursday December 30th and tickets will go on sale for that event at this Saturday's Seasons Beatings Toys For Tots event. That show will be called "Last call At The MCW Arena".
The reason we decided to make this announcement now is because we realize that some people may be traveling during the holidays and may not be able to attend Last Call on December 30th. If that's the case then we want you to be able to make the decision to come out to the MCW Arena this Saturday night so that you can attend one of, if not both of the final two events at the MCW Arena.
The Fans know me, they know I shoot straight and I don't work them. We have almost a decade of memories in this building, all of us with all of you. We are going to pull out all of the stops and we are going to have two of the best shows in our company's history this Saturday and December 30th. I promise you that you will regret missing either of them, Professional Wrestling is all about creating moments and these next two shows we are going to create a lot of them.
