We open Mooney's Vault to relive another legendary conversation. This week, we bring you Sean's successor in the WWE, Todd Pettengill! Todd talks about growing up in New York and getting into radio at the young age of 11. Todd discusses his move to Albany after graduating high school, becoming the highest rated on-air personality in the market, and getting a chance to work with Michael Cole. Todd talks about how he was first discovered by Vince McMahon, and how he prepared for his job in the WWE having come in from outside of pro wrestling. He also discusses officially signing with WWE, and negotiating his contract with Linda McMahon. Plus, Todd reflects on his first big WWE event, WrestleMania IX, while wearing a toga. Todd also shares memories of legends like Gene Okerlund, Gorilla Monsoon, Booby Heenan, Randy Savage and others, reflects on his Slammy 1996 performance, discusses his departure from WWE, and so much more!
