From the 70s i do not remeber so much who I liked outside of DiNucci, but remember hating on the Love Brothers! They were the wrestling version of Paul Lynde on Hollywood squares.

 

Fromt the 80's really liked macho Man as Ms. Elizabeth was just smokin!! LIked the Dog as someone mention(btw, i think he just recently passed. Roddy was funny, as was Honky Tonk man. Good guy who drove me nuts back then was Steamboat. All he ever did was whine. I was actually happy when Honky Tonk took his title at the Aud in about 84 or so. My firsy and only time at a rasslin show, but it was fun!

Rowdy Roddy

+1. Pipers Pit was the best. It was great when he interviewed other wrastlers. At first the conversation was civil. But Piper gradually prodded the other guy until it degenerated into a full fledged brawl. I wonder if any of those interviews are available on youtube?

i totally forgot about the "DR of Style"

 

I kind of liked the Doctor of Style... he had that wierd lisp when he talked and he called everyone "baby."

 

Mr. Fuji was another classic manager.

 

I tended to like the bad guys in wrestling I guess. Saturday Night's Main Event on NBC was always a big deal as a kid.

Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka

 

(Hon mention: Junkyard Dog)

 

Snuka is my answer to

 

I actually met the birdman Koko B Ware he came into the Steakhouse I worked at in Tulare California as a kid.

 

He is one of the smallest wrestlers and he was still huge.

My father followed wrestling back in the day and he claims he liked the name "Eric"... He liked the first "Yukon Eric"... Tells the story how he lost an ear... Gee thanks dad!

 

My mother had no choice... My father liked Gunnar and Gunther (Gunther Gable Williams) as alternative names... One of his friends said: "I will never talk to you again if you name your kid Gunther!"... So Eric it is!

 

See... Than explains it! WTF DAD? You had some pretty wild tastes...
