Context: Richard "Rick" Fuller is an American professional wrestler.  He is best known for his appearances World Championship Wrestling.  He would later be featured in several video games including "WCW Nitro" and "WCW/nWo Thunder". The Mandalay Bay Tram is a 838 m long people mover that opened on April 9, 1999 on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada.

He is the president of the Veldon Simpson-Architect, Inc., which formed as a corporation in 1976. WCW/nWo Thunder is a video game based on the professional wrestling TV show "WCW Thunder" and released on the PlayStation console by THQ in 1998.  "Thunder" is the sequel to "WCW Nitro" and updates the previous game with new characters and features, including cage matches, battle royals, weapon use, and the ability to select what stable each wrestler competed for (this included WCW, nWo Hollywood, nWo Wolfpac, Raven's Flock, and The Four Horsemen).  However, "Thunder" received poor reviews.  Many of these were due to its graphics, style, and overall atmosphere, which bore too many similarities to "WCW Nitro" (e.g. all the cheat codes were exactly the same).  A modification was also made to the control scheme, which allowed players to wear down and easily beat the opponent simply by winning grapples repeatedly, hitting your opponent once and then pinning them in around 30 seconds.  This contributed to the harsh reviews the game received. William Norman Pennington (March 24, 1923 – May 15, 2011) was an American casino industry executive.
