Oh shit, that's George the Animal Steele. One night in 1970 The Wiley Riley, me, and Dark Mark went to see some rasslin' at the Philly Civic Center. Bruno Sammartino, The Grand Wizard, Captain Lou, Toro Tanaka. Pedro Morales v. Pampero Ferpo, the wild bull of the Argentine was the main event. Woof, what a show. I think McMahon was the announcer.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, George the Animal tore open a turnbuckle cover with his teeth and spit the foam at us. I still have some somewhere. That was right before he hit Bruno on the squash with a folding chair.
Those were the days.
If you dolls like hair, GTAS was your man. Only hairier dude I know is my B-I-L.
Where did he get that shirt?
ReplyDeleteWhere did he get that shirt?
ReplyDeleteAl Gore sells them.
He's doing penance--obviously--because he's wearing a hair shirt.
ReplyDeleteWhy does this post have a 'Ruth Anne defends Meade' tag on it?
ReplyDeleteOK, Ruth Anne, I'll defend Meade. Killer pose, Meadester. You need a signature move, though. Like the claw or something.
ReplyDeleteMy dad's cousin was a wrestler in the 60s, Red Bastein. I recall seeing him in Omaha as a kid. I don't remember the match much, just the horrifying site of a tiny old red-faced lady spitting in rage, screaming Kill 'im, Red!!.
I had to say, 'Geez, Grandma, sit down, yer embarrassing me!' But I loved my Grandma anyway.
Where did he get that shirt?
ReplyDeleteYou didn't get one? All us Catholics get a hair shirt when we are confirmed. Sometimes earlier, depending on your gramma's world view.
Ok, now that's pretty irresistible.
ReplyDeletePogo: I remember my brother extolling the skillz of Butcher Buchon. Am I imagining that name?
ReplyDeleteRuth Anne, wasn't that in a Bugs Bunny episode?
ReplyDeleteThanks Pogo, sweet of you, but if it's all the same to you, I sort of prefer Ruth Anne... you know... defending me.
ReplyDeleteTrooper, how about Gorgeous George, for the other (alternative) dolls - Titus, Zach, et al.?
ReplyDeleteMeade: I'd be sure to defend you if you ever did anything wrong.
ReplyDeleteNow THAT'S an attorney I can get b...
ReplyDeleteI mean, an attorney I can believe in!

ReplyDeleteand then:
Meade: I'd be sure to defend you if you ever did anything wrong.
Trooper is either awfully prescient or awfully suggestive. Either way, it's a skill.
Yes, chicklit, and either way,
ReplyDeletehe's just awful.
"Why does this post have a 'Ruth Anne defends Meade' tag on it?"
ReplyDeleteBecause I am just causing trouble as usual.
Dr Kill, Toru Tanaka's wife/widow has been my cousin's BFF since the 70s. Tanaka was a goof, totally charming, and fun to talk to about a wide range of subjects - very well informed. Taught this young snob a lot about prejudging people. Still, not a fan of wrestling.
