Sorry for the bump. This thread brought back some amazing memories for me. I was looking at old 80's commercial's on youtube for 80's toys like "digger dan can" - & tried to find "ya ya Mr. Norman" and I found this thread thru google search. You young bucks won't understand. Great threat. A deserved bump.
My parents would tell me a few stories about Houston wrestling, Boesch, the Funk brothers and Terry Taylor. It made wrestling seem more genuine and not the circus show it is now.

its "Llama Mr. Norman" I remember my dad taking me to the Sam Houston Coliseum for Saturday Night Wrestling. Looking back, what a horrid dump of a place that was.
Nothing freaked me out more as a kid than watching a wrestler (i.e. Kamala) REQUIRE a handler to bring them out to be interviewed (or their manager to be interviewed). How freakin' scary is it that another human needed a trained handler (usually masked) to help contain the sheer rage and might that could be unknowingly unleashed at any given second. Exotic wrestler handlers FTW! http://www.oklafan.com/bios/2268/profile.html
I once saw Wahoo McDaniel and Johnny Valentine in an Indian Strap Match tied together with a long strap of leather. Also saw Johnny Valentine and Wild Bull Curry in a Brass Knucks match with taped fists. Blood did flow... Here's a great old site: http://www.wrestlingmuseum.com/homeie.html Enjoy
Brings back all kinds of memories. I quit watching wrestling after they tore down the collisium. If I wanted to start watching again, what channel would it be on? Or is it all pay per view now?
