Bull Rush?

I asked Manny Fernandez himself if he ever called his flying forearm the "Bull Rush" and he looked at me confused and asked me where I got that from and he said he had never called it that. It's always been called the Flying Burrito so quit changing it back to the Bull Rush. While I do like that name, it's incorrect. I run an online fantasy website which features Manny in new storylines and he's a support of my organization and a friend. CalawayCZC (talk) 21:57, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Navy Seals?

If he wasnt in the Navy Seals, then why isnt that piece of info removed from the article, instead of just adding a note below it? Coradon 04:26, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

He was a Navy Seal and served in Vietnam. CalawayCZC (talk) 21:57, 28 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

He is not listed in the SEAL database according to Don Shipley (A retired SEAL himself) and Steve Robinson (SEAL graduate in 1971 and wrote the book NO GUTS NO GLORY: Unmasking SEAL Imposters) He was never in Vietnam. The guys at Coronado, California (Home to the SEALs [Half of them that is]) can confirm this too. Further proof is his age. In 5 March 1971 (The removal of Americans from Vietnam) he would of been 16. Removing it. 108.18.96.170 (talk) 21:19, 22 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The blood puking incident

I think there should be mention of this incident, as it in infamous in wrestling circles. It may also be mentioned that it is thought to be revenge for the murder of Bruiser Brody.

SHOW ME THE PROOF

Vietnam Vet,Navy Seal and he attended West Texas State University all this by the time he was 23.He made his wrestling debut in 1977,he defeated Terry Funk for the NWA heavyweight title in 1979 and the rest is history.In other words show me a copy of his DD-214 and I will believe it.

Personal life section/Navy seal/etc

I have removed this. Is there are evidence any of it is true? This one talks about a wrestling promo (ie kayfabe) from 1988 where he says "Well daddy, they tried that in '72 in Saigon -- and 'The Bull' was still here", so it appears to be part of his gimmick not necessarily real. There's articles like this one where he talks about his Vietnam service, but the numbers just don't add up. He was born on July 27, 1954. He went to San Jose City College where he was apparently an All-American in wrestling and football, which you can't do in days or even weeks. Apparently due to seeing anti-war protests (although another source says he joined the Navy to see the world, not to fight in Vietnam) there he decided to enlist and became a Navy Seal and saw action. Details of when the Seals left Vietnam are here - "The last SEAL platoon departed Vietnam on 7 December 1971. The last SEAL advisors left Vietnam in March 1973". There is quite simply no way Manny Fernandez went to college at 18, became an All-American, joined the Navy, went through basic training and the lengthy Seal training (see United States Navy SEAL selection and training) and was deployed to Vietnam prior to 1973. Equally the Mooneyhan article talks about his three years playing special teams for the Kansas City Chiefs, their all-time roster has no record of him. 90.216.205.170 (talk) 12:54, 25 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As was alluded to above this subject seems to have a loose relationship with the truth. Wikipedia's policy is WP:V and we require reliable sources for any assertion. Chris Troutman (talk) 04:28, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
