The only thing I remember of Scott Casey was him being part of a Survivor Series team in 88 I think, but im sure I saw him in NWA/WCW sometime too.

I remember Chris Champion had the little Karate Kid rip off character that end with the flamingo karate kick ala the end of Karate Kid.

And the New Breed being from the future with their cybernetic forearm cast.

He did that to Big John Studd as well.

Royal Rumble 1989 anyone? Last I checked he WON! ;)...

In the 1980's, anyone who wasn't the World Champ (Hogan) or the Intercontinental Champ or the Tag Team Champs WERE ALL JOBBERS.

A fan made these and sent them to my dad some years back.  Thought it would be cool to post them. Sorry about the flash

Bart Gunn of the Smokin' Gunns.  He is one of my best friends & then some. ;)  Just turned 45 & he is planning on fighting in the UFC this year.  He beat Cabbage last year & then lost his 2nd fight to some guy from Japan.  IMO, he's still got it goin' on.

Great guy.  Just moved back to Florida. He is best friends with my guy who is also a MMA fighter.  31-0 when it was "Fists of Fury".  Luv it!

They would be great as a tag team.
