My family is very close with him. He is a great historian for the business. He has lots of great stories when he is at my parents I always try to be there cause I know I will be entertained.
Hey Karl, I never was a really huge wrestling fan, I mean I know alot of the guys being posted from the late 80's and early 90's but when you get into all the technical stuff I am lost.
However, I grew up in the Metroplex so I am aware of the Von Erichs and all that, course.
I lived in Grapevine around 1987 (just a little kid, 1st grade) but I do remember the local wrestling show that would come on where the Von Erichs and Percy Pringle and Mark Emory would come on.
Anyways, if you remember that, then you will remember that they would always have these two older guys who would just kinda walk around the ring during the matches, I guess to stop from the crowd interference.
One of those guys lived in my apartment complex,(it was called Pearl Tree apartments at that time) I remember he had a room full wrestling memorabilla that was really cool. If I remember correctly his name or nickname was Curly, any recollections of him, maybe your father will remember him.
