Yeah, Don started out as a hero, first mainly in the Midwest before relocating to San Fransico. By the time he hit Florida, he figured being a bad guy paid more.
Heading up North, he made headlines when he took on the Superfly. From there he was fighting any and all comers but when McMahon Jr. took over, things changed. Don did try a shot being an actor, staring in a few pilots that failed to get picked up (such as FUJI VICE). Muraco wasn't a 100 percent sold on being a good guy again, but for the money involved, eh, he'd give it a shot.
This served him well but by the late 80's Don found himself let go. He wandered a bit before heading over to Philly for a bit but by 1995 he had enough and retired.
