Marques Johnson says Chris Mullin nearly brawled with WWF's Bushwhackers
Marques Johnson: I was playing with Golden State just for a brief shot of cap, brief shot of espresso not even a [laughter] cup of coffee you know, just 10 games. I was out for three years, hurt my neck, tried to come back… But there's a great story that Kris is about to tell you with him and Chris Mullin. Kris, how old were you then, you were 14 years old at that time?
Kris Johnson: Well the deal was, so the WWF came through to the Oakland Coliseum. So Chris Mullin, who was my dad's teammate, took us to the arena, me and my brother. And so long story short, they tried to trip on us when we went backstage.
You know, how you go trying to go to the locker room at the event, you know, a situation like that. They trying to say, "Oh, no, you guys can't come. You know, this isn't your night basically, that you get to go in the locker room.
" So anyway, Chris Mullin was like, "Forget that. We're going in. We're getting some juices.
We're getting some drinks or whatever. " So we kind of Bogart our way in. Thanasis, when we get in the locker room, I don't know if you remember these dudes named The Bushwhackers, but they were from Australia [note: they were from New Zealand].
