Cobra Commander Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Losing so much weight that you can't fit into the Akeem outfit anymore is a fitness mark that very few can reach Although it would be funny if he made up that reason because he wanted to work as One Man Gang instead of Akeem on a Wrestlemania in Houston 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was recently watching World War 3 95 and was trying to count the number of people who are dead by now (15, I think, by the way) and when One Man Gang entered I automatically wanted to add him to the list until I went, wait, he is still alive, is he. But there are not many of those guys besides George Gray still standing. Fred Ottman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Just now, Infinit said: PN News is still alive YO BABY YO BABY YOOOOO Weirdly enough, I was going to mention him. I think with every blade job, Abdullah added a year to his life. Seriously, who called Abdullah the Butcher making it to 2023? Real question though: I watched some JWA era Abdullah the Butcher a few weeks ago. At what point did he go from just slightly overweight to straight up blob who can only move his arm to use the razor blade shards taped to the end of his fingers? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was never I let myself go fat during the bulk of his wrestling career. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember cause a local,now also retired,vet was OMG's last match a few years ago. I think he has told the story on Youtube.

BloodyChamp Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Big Sal is still alive. Would anybody happen to have a list of overall wearing wrestlers? I’m trying to figure out a match I saw on TV on a late Saturday or Sunday night when I was very young. I don’t think it was Hillbilly Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird hearing some of these old timers like Cornette and JR talk about the Kentuckians with reverence. Then, for example, you hear Ross on his one of his latest eps of Grilling JR talk about how horrendous Grizzly was as human being when Ross first broke into pro wrestling and his first years in the business to the point Ross tried his best to avoid the Mississippi/Louisiana end of the old McGuirk territory. Is that one of the biggest cases of "never meet your heroes" in pro wrestling? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
