I thought it was “Killer Kowalski”???
Anyone remember how the Polish Strongman, Ivan Putski was always at odds with Jessie “The Body” Ventura? Jessie always called him “Ivan Padooski” to get him all riled up!
This is more mid-80’s but does anyone remember Leapin’ Lanny Poffo? He was the only guy I ever saw get so wound up in his character that he’d beat himself up! I forget who did it to him but he was cartwheelin’ and back flippin’ all over the ring and managed to flip himself right into a close line! I think I about pee’d my pants I was laughing so hard! He cancelled that character to become “The Genius” and carried about the same genius luck Wile E. Coyote had with the Road Runner! So, after that, he became “The Poet”, and all he’d do is bad mouth guys and run for his life!
Anyone remember the Ugandan Giant? One Man Gang? The Von Erichs? Missing Link? George “The Animal” Steel? He used to eat turnbuckles! Rowdy Roddy Piper? Mr. Wonderful – Paul Orndorff? King Kong Bundy?
Fun days…………..
