Haystacks Calhoon, The Great Malinko, Joe LeDuc, and so many that i have forgotten.

I was a fan of the Hulkster.

I saw Man Mountain Mike once. The community heard about him on the bush announcements and drove 8 hours to see what a 600 lb man looked like.

There was no wrestling, just a circus viewing of him and Mr. X his arch enemy.

And, Da Bruiser's brother (or cousin?), Da Crusher! Milwaukee's finest!

You forgot his picture. He was a legend!
Do you think it was ever a fair fight?

Well, Hulk Hogan beat him once so obviously everyone had a fair chance.

And, lets not forget the former governor of Minnesota, Jesse "The Body" Ventura.

I always thought that 2 guys rolling around on a mat covered in baby oil was a little silly. To each their own though.

[12icemaker]

WMC 5 MEMPHIS with Lance Russel.

All of the old "Stars" did local gyms and things it was always a SHOW heheheh.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

When my sons were growing up, they were into wrestling.
The Undertaker,Rowdy Rod, The Nature Boy Ric Flair, Triple H,Macho Man, The Hulk, The Rock etc
Them and the other brothers (10 other teenage boys that lived in my house periodically) would have wrestling matches.
Neighbor called the law one time they thought there was a riot.
I met them in complete uniform at the door.
The Police Department never bothered us again.
I even had to have a favorite wrestler, Shawn Micheals.
But mine was entirely for a different reason.
He was a good looking man.
And in a house full of 12 teenage boys, I needed something pretty to look at.(lol)....

From what I’ve read, Andre the Giant was really a gentle, kind man who hated the whole wrestling business.
