    RIP WAHOO

    I remember seeing him on Paul Boesch's Houston Wrestling (ch. 39) back in the day....

    Wow, I did to. Used to watch on Friday nights with my grandmother, and she'd yell at the tv. Paul Boesch used to jog in my folks neighborhood. RIP, Wahoo.

    Didn't he invent the sleeper hold?

    I used to watch him on Houston Wrestling as well. His battles with Johnny Valentine were epic.

    Man, Wahoo McDaniel. Back when RASSLIN' was RASSLIN' and not one big comical T&A festival. :(

    No, Wahoo didn't invent the hold.

    I remember Pepper Gomez. He was always the "Good Guy". Granny loved him. Did I get the last name wrong? I'm thinking of when I was a kid, and that was a looong time ago. A great Rasslin' guy!

    I know of Pepper Martin the baseball player, but I don't recall the RASSLER. I've heard of Pepper Gomez the RASSLER though.

    I must be mistaken. It was Pepper Somebody; I just remember the Pepper part. I don't remember Gomez and I'm not sure why Martin came to mind.

    He played 3rd base for the 1934 St. Louis Cardinals (baseball) team. Also known as the Gas House Gang.

    I was just thinking : it's incredible that Wahoo was only 63 years old. He looked about 60 when I watched him RASSLE about 20 years ago.
