As always, if you'd like ON or OFF my wrasslin' ping list, let me know
Also, catching up on some past wrestling obituaries...
See post 9.
I remember the Professor; wore a mask over his face because he didn’t want his identity revealed because he was a University Professor (or so he said). Very well spoken, used the scientific method of wrestling.
I began following wrestling during Bruno Sanmartino’s first title reign, in what was then called the “World Wide Wrestling Federation.” His opponents back then were people like Gorilla Monson, Killer Kowalski, Ivan Koloff, and Professor Taru Tanaka. I stopped following wrestling about 15 years ago.
He was very unpopular with other wrestlers.
I might have to steal that line from you.
Maybe steroid use as well?
Jeepers! I could just imagine the reaction when this guy walked into the tattoo parlor. Talk about working under pressure in adverse conditions...
