“Muraco, 76, spent nearly three decades in professional wrestling, including six years in the WWF in the 1980s.”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
The Wikipedia entry for Don Muraco states he was best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation from 1981 to 1988, which supports the claim of a long career including the WWF in the 1980s.
