Tom Magee

Yep.
That's the guy McMahon brought in to eventually "replace" Hogan in the mid-80's.
Supposedly, Hogan shit himself upon seeing the physical shape Magee was in.
Fortunately for Hulkster, Magee couldn't work any kind of match at all.

Hard to believe that Bret's dad trained him.
He was the shits.

And in the cinematic masterpiece "Stone Cold"-

Back on Clark, he got into a nasty little war of words with that went on for months with Ted Arcidi, when Clark took the record.

Arcidi looks surreal - barely human.

Post by: BIG AL MCKECHNIE on August 29, 2011, 04:38:44 AM: In that second Kaz video he is confronting a guy called Dave Gauder who used to claim he was the strongest man in the world. Capes and Kaz hated Gauder's claims and hated the fact that Strength Athlete magazine took Gauder seriously even tho he never competed.

Capes was a total wanker by the way. A bully who shat himself if anyone stood up to him.
