Speaking of former AWA wrestlers, a friend of mine told me a couple years back that the German Claw Master himself, Baron von Raschke, now owns a craft store in Bemidji, Minnesota. He was there with a traveling hockey team at a mall, walked in and saw him standing behind the counter.
As a huge wrestling fan, he struck up a conversation with the Baron and found, not surprisingly, that he was often recognized. "And that is all the people need to know ..."
I saw him a number of years ago (back in the late 80's I think), he was working at the Minnesota Zoo in Eagan MN as a monorail driver or something like that.
