We crack open Mooney’s Vault for another unforgettable conversation—this time with WWE legend Tatanka! In this episode, Tatanka shares how his faith and Native American heritage have shaped every step of his life and career. He recalls a fateful encounter with “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers that opened the door to the Monster Factory and trainer Larry Sharpe, as well as early opportunities working with George Scott and legends like Ricky Steamboat and Wahoo McDaniel. Tatanka takes us inside his journey to WWE, the creation of his iconic character, and the responsibility he felt to honor his people through it. He reflects on his remarkable two-year undefeated streak, and what it was like to face WWE’s biggest stars on the grandest stages—WrestleMania VIII at the Hoosier Dome and SummerSlam 1992 at Wembley Stadium. He also discusses the reasons behind his 1996 departure, his 2005 return, his WWE Legends contract, and much more. This is Tatanka’s story—raw, inspiring, and legendary.
