Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| Pedro Morales (Wrestling) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: He had to forfeit the WWE World Tag Team Title because his partner was WWF Heavyweight Champion Bob Backlund and it was considered improper for someone to hold more than one title. | |

Always Second Best: During his career, he could never get fans to forget about Bruno Sammartino, but today he's better appreciated. | |

Improbable Weapon User | |
| Pedro Morales (Wrestling) / int_6a2ae11f | comment |
Improbable Weapon User: In the November 23, 1981 match where he defeated Muraco for the Intercontinental Championship, Morales — after ramming Muraco with his shoulder — grabbed a pair of brass knuckles Muraco dropped and struck him on the jaw, knocking him out and allowing him to score the pin. Muraco had planned to use the brass knuckles on Morales but dropped them on taking the impact. Conversely, in the January 22, 1983 match where Muraco defeated Morales for the Intercontinental Championship, Muraco's shirt was used as a weapon by both guys. | |

Jobber | |
| Pedro Morales (Wrestling) / int_a505fdd7 | comment |
Jobber: During his 1985-1987 run in the WWF, he was used as a "jobber to the stars", defeating pure jobbers but — although he consistently got offense in — would always seem to lose to newcomers, including Randy Savage, Jake Roberts, Harley Race, the Honky Tonk Man and the One Man Gang. Only against Gang was Morales totally squashed. | |

Suspiciously Similar Substitute: Was intended to serve the same role to the Puerto Rican New York demographic as Sammartino had done to the Italians. While he was popular, he didnt have anywhere close to the same enormous impact as Sammartino had. | |
