PastaJoe Posted June 7, 2023 Posted June 7, 2023 His promos with Gene Okerland were the best. I’d laugh when he’d call him Gene Mean. 5 Quote

Doesn’t get bigger than that for American Sports… I went to Cheektowaga Central HS. The Millennium Hotel is right next to the school campus. A friend's brother is about 9 years younger than us. He was in class in the spring and sees the Iron Sheik and Sat. Slaughter jogging around the campus. There was a WWF match the next day at the Aud and I guess they stayed at the Millennium. Was in the 80s. Edited June 8, 2023 by Wacka 1 Quote

Those guys hated each other. 5 Quote

While he was praying to Mecca, someone threw a donut and hit him square in the face. He went nuts and bloodied the heck out of his opponent, (Who I cant remember). The Aud had some great wrestling shows back in the day. 2 Quote

Then the Shiek went to the trial with the intention of killing him but his family calmed him down, so he didn't lose his temper. He was found guilty and went to jail. 1 Quote
