The Barbarian




I worked a show wit Barbarian when I was in college, around summer of 2002.  Super nice guy and still strong as HELL!  Hands like a catcher's mitt when you shook.

He confirmed stories of Haku's bad-ass credentials, said NOBODY would mess with him!

I miss the period of like 87-92. The golden age IMO. 93-96 sucked, then the Monday Night Wars and Attitude era was great and it started dropping off after 2002.
Truth!

Glenn (Disco) is also freakishly strong.    I used to see him at PowerHouse in Alpharetta where he would come in and do chest and would bang out 8-10 reps with 405.  No spot, no breaking a sweat either.

Buff Bagwell had the puniest calves you would ever see in your life.  Like toothpicks.  Rumor was he had calf implants that had gone bad and almost crippled him.  Had to have them removed.  Another dude that went to the same doc always wore black combat boots and black microshorts, on the outside area of both of his calves was always  a red oval mark.  Like he had been sitting for extended times with his leg crossed over his knee.  Big red splotch where the implant was too close to the surface.

Glacier was the manager at that Power House gym after he got booted from WCW for his attitude.  Kenny Kage and Chaos (that old buff tag team... would like to see pics of them now) were both Asst Managers there for about a month before they all got fired at the same time.  (Glacier had been there longer)

Jim Powers was a legitimate strong man.  He would regularly rep out with 315 on behind the neck presses.  There was a reason he never really made it big in the sport but apparently it was hush-hush because no one would ever say what it was or talk about it.  I wonder what he looks like now days.

Van Hammer was said to be the biggest thief to ever walk into a locker room.  So much that when he was on the card, wrestlers would take turns sitting in the locker room being a designated look out for other people's belongings.

Eddie Guerro uses to buy his Rejuvenate! (GHB) from MidTown Discount Supps when it was legal and being sold there.  He would buy a case at a time along with several 5 lb buckets of whatever whey protein powder was the cheapest.  heard he often mixed whey and tuna in a shake and then had a spoonful for peanut butter or mayonaisse for the extra cals/fats.  (though I would think the PNB would be more healthy than mayo)


that's about all I know.

Barry Windham










I remember back in the 80's Barry went to prison with the singer from the Tampa, Fl glam band "Inticed" for printing counterfeit money.

Alan Coage - Bad News Brown died earlier this year - maybe last year.  He lived in Canada and was a security professional.  My judo instructor whas his coach when he was multix National champion and went to the Olympics.   I believe he had been living in recent years with double knee replacements.

The story is that Angle though he could take lesnar to the ground and lesnar didnt think so,
So the tried it, in a friendly way and Angle managed to do it ofc :)

in a FIGHT Angle wouldnt stand a chance.

Karl...any truth to this?

230. Killer Karl Kox has a glass eye. He would secretly remove the eye and put it in his foreskin. When a girl went to go down on him, they got an "eyefull" and left screaming.
