Rob retired and owns a comic book store.   Sabu was wrestling on the Indys for a while but I read he was hurt

Sabu was a nut. I have seen him do some pretty crazy things in the ring. My friend remembers your dad Karl and said that he was a good jobber and then he moved up. What do you know about psycho Sid? My fried has said that he would leave big time shows to go play softball and that he did not take shit from Vince.

Sid was very nice when I met him.  As for not taking shit , well he is out of a job so maybe he should have rethought that

I believe sid loved softball over wrestling. Sid left a big time WCW pay-per-view just to go play softball.

what's the latest info on the board, karl?  how are you going about it

not into wrestling (since about age 5), but still a lot of interesting stories behind it all - that's the sign of a truly great thread

I second that. A wrestling board is a getbig must. Plain and simple.

Watts has aged pretty well.  KK, aren't there a lot of stories about him a promoter where the guys hated him?  Like pushing his son, etc...?
