'80s PRESIDENT DEAD: No not Reagan, but rather Jack Tunney, who played on the on-camera role of "president" of the World Wrestling Federation in the '80s, died today at the age of 68. A sort of figurehead who always did what the fans didn't want, Tunney was a fictional version of Bud Selig, a full decade before the real thing.
While Vince McMahon was and is the true boss of the WWF/E, Tunney did indeed have some backstage pull, as he was chairman of the federation's Toronto territory.
