You would be wrong, young un.   :) I remember when Roop was terrorizing the Georgia territory. 


I have a match on video with him and my old man.  I met him a few times very nice guy

Warlord

Warlord lives in Vegas now. I just saw him at the San Giro fest when we were down there a few months ago. Big dude in real life. No doubt. He was super red though and looked like a fucking frankenstien.

Maybe the greatest manager of all time.  He even managed my old man for a while

Tony Atlas is still "managing" on ECW.  Arms still look pretty huge, one of the best bodies in wrestling in his day.

Warlord

The man hasn't changed at all and still looks to be over 300 pounds of muscle.

I used to see Don Muraco alot back in the 90's.  Look quite a bit different and alot smaller.  Lord Blears and Lars Anderson both lived on Oahu.  Not really sure about Lars but I saw him quite a bit so I figured he did.  He was helping Dwayne Johnson's mom promote there.
