AxB Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 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'? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SovietShooter Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 1 hour ago, Robert S said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliff Hanger Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 On 8/30/2024 at 9:58 AM, Log said: 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
