Is Ricky Steamboat the best fake relative ever? Considering that it wasn't long after Ricky started, that Sammy Steamboat started getting work on the strength of being Ricky's 'cousin'?

The worst offender:

 

He was known for this short run in the dying days of the USWA, but he became a deathmatch guy under the name "Tower of Doom" that worked a lot with Pondo and Ian Rotten. He started a company in the Cincinnati area in the late 90s called "Real Deal Pro Wrestling", and killed a bunch of buildings in the area doing dumb brawling and stuff.  Then he got busted for child porn.

Quote

Michael Imburgia, who has wrestled in Puerto Rico and numerous U.S.
indies as Tower of Doom and was the USWA champion for a short time in
1996 as “Macho Warrior” Ric Hogan, was indicted on ten charges of
pandering sexually oriented material involving a minor on 6/10.

Imburgia, 30, is the DJ at a club in Monroe, OH, called Bristol’s Show
Club and Revue. The owner of the club was also indicted on two felony
counts of promoting prostitution. John Burke, commander of the Warren
County (OH) Drug Task Force, told the Cincinnati Enquirer that they
had seized Imburgia’s home computer and other documents in a search of
his home on 4/19. Burke said Imburgia “had significant amounts of
child pornography on his computer and in other computer disks. We’re
talking about very, very young teens.” Burke would not comment on
whether there is evidence that Imburgia sold the files or shared them
over the Internet.

BTW, Bristol's was the strip club that Melanie Pillman worked at, and it was during this same timeframe.

Tried this for the first time and it kicked my ass. Gave up once I realized I didn't know shit outside of US promotions who have TV. Good lord man.

Appreciate you taking a look at it!

It certainly makes me want to expand my knowledge more! There's just so much out there, and I've been a fan for three decades.

I suck at the wrestling crosswords but still give them a go. Thanks for doing them, S.K.o.S. Ditto the Summer Blockbuster Movie Pool.

I kind of miss the days of small time promotions making fake relatives to bigger wrestlers.

Didn't Shane Douglas start out as Troy Orndorff, Paul's "nephew"?

When Booker T first started running shows in Houston, I went to a couple and they had MVP's cousin (or brother) VIP, but I think that was done with full knowledge of WWE and MVP himself as they seemed to be building to an appearance by him. Before you ask, no I do not remember what the V and I stood for.
