    Nikolai Volkoff would be the guy most guys would answer with, but... technically this has multiple answers. Before Nikolai Volkoff in Houston RASSLIN, there was....

    Ivan Koloff, the Russian Bear. ;)

    Anyone remember Michael Pollack from Colonial House Apartments? They were supposed to be THE place to live if you're single in Houston.

    How about:

    If you're transmission's got you down,
    or your motor falls apart,
    that's the time to come to Thunderbolt,
    YOU DON'T NEED A BRAND NEW CAR!!
    We still believe in value,
    and we pass it on to you,
    at Thunderbolt we fix it right,
    and we guarantee it too!

    We put the YEEEEE-HAAAW back in your motor and transmission.

    I'm suprised nobody mentioned those old Cal Worthington commercials....

    Was I the only person that they were saying "p***y Cow" instead of "Go See Cal"??

    p***y COW, p***y COW, p***y COW!

    My parents were working on the MBA's at Sam Houston State at the same time and generally were taking the same classes at the same time...one of their profs was Birkholz (correct spelling). This was in the mid 90's, so that is why I used the "is/was".

    Birkholz was Paul Boesch's nephew and was supposed to take over the helm when Boesch stepped down. I do not think Birkholz had any prior teaching experience before working with Houston Wrestling.

    Apparently, Birkholz is still a prof at Sam Houston.

    I thought my friends and I were the only ones making that mistake. BTW, I think that guy had a nationwide franchise.

    I know that Cal still has his dealership in LA...every time I go there, I always see his dog 'Spot'.

    As a matter of fact...here is Cal's website .

    Cal in Alaska??? I figure he would've sold more cars here in Houston.


    BTW...these guys (HW advertisers) paid an extreme minimum for ad time and look at how well their ads worked.

    That's too funny. I remember those commercials. Dude had the shirt unbuttoned half-way and the gold chain around the neck along.

    One of the promotions, if I remember correctly, was giving a VCR to anybody who signed a lease. At the end of the commercial, a girl would pop up from in the pool holding said VCR over her head. Classic.
