Back in 1985, professional wrestling was far from the billion dollar entertainment business that we see today. At the time many fans were still unsure whether wrestling was real or pre-determined. 20/20 reporter John Stossel was doing an in-depth news story on Vince McMahon, the WWF & the truth behind what really happens in pro wrestling.

In what is now the most infamous clips of John Stossel's career, he told WWF star "Dr. D" David Schultz that he thought "wrestling is fake". It was at this moments that Schultz slaps Stossel across the face proclaiming, "yeah is that fake? That's an open hand slap!".

The slap was met by praise from wrestlers in the locker room but it turned into a nightmare for WWF owner Vince McMahon. The promotion would be sued by Stossel and 20/20, leaving McMahon to pay out more than half a million dollars.

Dr. D David Schultz claims that Vince McMahon told him to take care of John Stossel. McMahon denies these claims. Schultz also talks at length about how Vince McMahon treated him after the incident, also what his reaction was to fellow wrestler Eddie Mansfield who was also in the 20/20 segment. Mansfield demonstrated how to do a blade job on the program, further exposing the professional wrestling business.
