I used to go to the TV tapings at the Irish McNeils Boys club on the Fairgrounds in Shreveport and I can see myself on a lot of the videos.

Mid-South wrestling ... man now that is old school at it's finest.

Ted DiBiase, The Super Destroyer, Ernie Ladd, KK Bondy, Paul Orndoff. My grandma would strangle you if you even thought about turning the TV set when Mid South wrestling was on.

Good times. R.I.P. Paul

And who could forget:
  • Ric Flair

  • Hacksaw Jim Duggan

  • "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes

  • Andre the Giant

  • Playboy Gary Hart

  • The Iron Sheik

    ...and of course...

  • TheJunkYard Dog

I was a Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat fan myself.

That was back when wrestling wasn't quite so choreographed. I was always a big fan of Roddy Piper. I even liked him as an actor. Quite a few wrestlers made good actors. The trend continues today with the Rock and John Ceena. However, watching them wrestle nowadays just doesn't have the same appeal as the good old days.

They Live was a surprisingly good movie and had several memorable scenes. What a great plot.

I watched a documentary the other day about Roddy. It was really interesting. Looked like a guy who would have been very fun to know in real life.

Some of my other favs were the Hart Foundation, Lex Luger, and of course...The Road Warriors! I remember forking over about 25 bucks to my pop to pay for the cable bill to see Hawk and Animal take on the Kolovs at Summerslam! That was a lot of cash back then !

Dick Murdock and Killer Karl Kox had "The Brain Buster". Also Grizzly Smith with the Bear Hug. Saw quite a few in Ferriday, La. in matches. Danny Hodge and a few in Natchez, MS. I was a pup then.
