LMAO... I heard that to, but when i was a kid i didnt want to beleive that. I would get all ticked off and want to wrestle when someone told me it was fake.

BTW.... the second dude is "The Missing Link".... anybody remember him?

I was at the Cajundome with my kids for that WWE thing a few years ago and saw Hacksaw. I couldn't believe he was still wrestling. I saw Hacksaw take on Andre the Giant when I was in high school, Andre was near the end of his career and could barely stand up in the ring. It was sad. The movie "the Wrestler" with Mickey Rourke is a pretty good story, check it out.

Was the missing link the one that they would announce as "From parts unknown", did he have the green tongue?

Well guess who was on the card...OLE HACKSAW..I used to watch him when it was old MID-South wrestling. I forgot who he fought but he was still a blast with the 2X4. Dude has to be over 50.....He had a beer belly from HELL!

as i was told....- its not a beer belly, its a protective cover for his abs.

I used to tell my great grandmother that it was all fake. She wore my arse out every time. I remember when Mid-South came to the Goretti gym, she bought tickets, and invited me to go with her so she could show me it wasn't fake. I was embarrassed once the show started. This little woman that couldn't have weighed 75lbs soaking wet said words I shouldn't have heard at my age back then. Good thing they had security there also, she would have been in the ring with them.

If I remember right she was a J.Y.D. fan.

Hey guys! If you don't mind I need to correct you! Y'all are calling these guys WRESTLERS...they are not WRESTLERS...they are RASSLERS...I loved watching these guys every week when I was a kid. I got to see them several times at the Rapides Parish Coliseum and even a couple of times at the Rec Center in Oakdale! These guys were real RASSLERS...WWE or whatever it is called is just a soap opera.
