Karl, did your dad ever wrestle the late, great Dick Murdoch? Long before Stone Cold Steve Austin, Murdoch was the original Texas rattlesnake.
Look at that neck!

Yes my dad actually trained Dick Murdoch and tought him the Brain Buster. By dad meet Murdoch when he was sixteen he was walking down main street in Amarilo Tx. where many of the wrestlers lived at that time. Murdoch had two bear cubs on chains draging them down the street. My dad approched him and asked if he ever considered being a wrestler, and to call him up when he finished high school. He did and him and my dad remained best friends till Dickys death in the summer of 96. He was also my godfather whe I was a kid.

That's awesome. You must've had an interesting upbringing.
I don't even watch wrestling anymore, but as a kid I loved it. I grew up in the northeast, McMahon territory. When I started watching wrestling, Pedro Morales was the singles champ, and the Valiant brothers were the tag champs. Vince McMahon was the announcer. My favorite at the time was Chief Jay Strongbow. I eventually found out he was an Italian guy from Brooklyn or somewhere.
From a physique standpoint, my all-time favorite is "The Total Package" Lex Luger.
-
Karl, have you ever considered to become a wrestler yourself?
-
Luger was always ripped.

I have! My dad used to help a friend of his at a wrestling school here in Dallas. He used to demenstate holdes, moves ect. on me, and I would practice with the guys. I am only 22 now my dad is now 74. (Yall probley think wow he started late. Not realy my mom is my dads second marrage, I have two much older half brothers by his first. ) The problem is my dad is 6'2 240lbs. I am only 5'7 180lbs.
All the wrestlers you see now are 6'4 to 6'7 300lbs. I am very small. Gues thats why I like BB.

KK I thought you might be releated to the Killer, but being his son you must of seen some crazy shit back stage. I waw your dad preform with Crusher, Dick the Bruser, Putski, the Von Erics. He never minded giving the fans a blodbath. Murdoch was the same way. The question I have is about Dick's son. He's on WWE and seems like his father only crazier. When they find the right gimmic, he's going to go places. How about some stories.

I thought the same as you, but a friend of mine who is a wrestling insider said that the Murdoch in the WWE is not Dick's son. He damn sure looks like the Outlaw.

if you are refering to Trever Murdoch he is not Dick Murdochs son. Dick MUrdoch dose have a son but he is much bigger. As far as stories I have plenty I have not witnesses all of them put have herd plenty from my old man and would be happy to answer or get him to answer any qustions just tell me what you want to here. I could tell you some crazy shit about Murdoch he was quite funny to be around.

Karl so glad to meet you online! Can you tell me who was the real, "Captain Redneck?" What was the real story about that moniker and are you aware of a retired NWA Georgia tag team that was referred to as "Total Destruction?"
-
To answer the question of 'Who Is My Favorite Wrestler?' Nowadays? It would have to be Batista. For all times? That would be Superstar Billy Graham!

I remember reading somewhere that your dad pulled a really funny rib on some hitchhikers. I never heard the details. Could you fill us in?
Here's a cool shot of legend Lou Thesz, in 1935, at age 19. That physique could be on the cover of "Men's Health" today.

ha ha ya if they where wrestling fairly close to where they lived they would all drive the story I think you are talking about is one that Terry Funk wrote about in his book. I think they where all driving to El Paso I 'm not sure who all was in the car but I do know Funk was one of them. They saw a hitch hicker on the side of the road and they pulled over and my dad got out of the car and basicly started talking shit to this hitch hicker. Well with a car full of big guys and the hitch hicker being by himself I am sure he was scared shit less. My dad would say somthing like I'm gonna beat your ass bla bla bla and then my dad out of no where would say wait huh you don't know karate do you ? ya I bet you know karate and would start acting like he is getting scared of the guy and eventually the guty would get in to a karate stance and my dad would act really scared get in the car a take off. Why that was funny to them I have no idea. It would have ben more funny to me if the all beat the crap out of him.

I just called my old man It just so happend that Scandor Akbar is at his house and says Akbar basicly gave Murdoch the name Capitain Red Neck. He called him that in a interview as a insult because he was the heel and Murdoch was the baby face. Then all the fans starteed calling him that and it just stuck.
-
I'm surprised Vince McMahon never thought about booking this match: Sid Vicious vs Sid Vicious
-
hahah. Psycho Sid looks like a fucking neandertal. He was always one of my favorites. Did he ever recover from the leg injury?

Did you ask your pops about that scene in Florida wrestling years ago? He was suspended, and he took Dusty Rhodes ring robe and wiped down Gordon Solie's announcer desk with it. Solie was telling him to stopped, but your pop was saying that it's just an old rag.
-
Yo, did Bart ever recover from when Butterbean almost broke his neck in the WWF tough man contest. That is the hardest I have ever seen anyone hit.

Fuck Superfly Snuka. He allegedly murdered his girlfriend around 1985. There never was enough evidence to indict him. He said she fell and hit her head on a guard rail while taking a leak on the side of the highway. He had a history beating her up. He also was one of the only jerk wrestlers I ever met and I knew all of the WWF wrestlers from about 1981 to 1986.

-

Yes the where tag champions in Dallas for a while but they did not get along business wise Fritz was the promoter in Dallas and I belive they had a disagreement about money but in 97 before Fritz died my dad and Terry Funk and My self went to Fritzes Ranch and the had a nice visit. But if you ask my dad about the Von Erichs he had nothing nice to say.

Man, they had lots of tragedy in that family. Too much to be a coincidence.

Dude they where all dope heads.
One time when I was about 10 or so my dad was talking to carry and they where talking about the Cowboys or some shit and at the end of the conversation he says " Ya I think I as gonna take my wife to see that movie " WE were all just like WTF. He was a nice guy though. So is Kevin who is the only one still alive. All the other died before I was born, excepted David I was like two.

Wow my thread rocks (if i do say so my self) thanks guys!! try to get it to 100 replies and make an old man happy :D
-
Superstar Billy Graham.
Even by today's standards, that's a big arm.
He had this little manager, The Grand Wizard of Wrestling, who would help Superstar take off his tye-dye shirt, but the shirt would always get stuck on Superstar's big right arm. It was a good little bit.
-
he supposedly benched 600.

No, but he one of my best friends. :) He was my chaperone at the 04 Arnold. Here is a pic from my b-day party last year. J, me & Big Mike......a permanent 8 X 10 picture in my collection. ;)
Brachilius,
Mike is in great condition these days. He is considering doing the Ultimate Fighting/Toughman thing again. Can't wait!

Just for kicks.....the whole crew! ;) Still the b-day party. Geez, sorry about the "red eye thing" goin' on.

Nahh. I saw the Warrior (Jim Helwig) at the Austin Gym in Dallas in the early 90's. I didn't even know it was him until my buddy told me after he left.
I'm 6'1" and Jim was at least as tall as me.
-
Actually back then he was very popular. No introduction was neccessary. This is us in Miami with Mike Kozlowski of the Miami Dolphins. There were a couple of other Dolphins to on the show can't remember there names right now.

-
no one comes close to Hulk Hogan.
there have been other breif flashes in the pan, like Austin and Warrior, but none can compete the Hulkster.
Hogan had the longetivity that neither austin nor warrior could come close to.
although I think in terms of shear ability, no one has been better than 2002 Kurt Angle.

Wrong................... .......the girl died of a drug overdose in his room, he was connected, but like you said not enough evidence to convict him, however it was that event that kept him from getting the "strap".

Dynamite WAS a legitimate “shooter.” He learned the trade in Wigan, England from the likes of Ted Betley, Billy Chambers and a few painful sessions at Rileys Gym (better known as “The Snake Pit.”)
Some other legitimately skilled grapplers-turned pro wrestlers to come out of Wigan are Billy Robinson and Karl Gotch, who trained the Malenko brothers, and later became a head trainer at the New Japan Pro Wrestling dojo.
Dynamite was a huge success in Japan. His series of matches with the original Tiger Mask are still considered classics, even by today’s standards. If you enjoy pro wrestling, it’s worth trying to track down that footage.

Hey Karl...did your dad wrestle in St. Louis? Wrestling at the Chase.
I used to see Dick Murdoch, Harley Race, Ric Flair, Dick the Bruiser, Pat O'Connor..etc all the time. My dad worked close by and we would see them walking around town.
Pretty cool pics here.

In order....
3. Masato Tanaka
2. New Jack
1. Chris Benoit
Chris Benoit and Kevin Sullivan had the best matches in wrestling history. I remember walking out of the shitter at the United Center in Chicago and seeing Sullivan throwing Benoit in the bathroom by the hair. I could barely hold on to the nachos I had.
-
Dan Gable, or Cael Sanderson. Both NCAA champs and Olympic Gold Medalists. ;D
-
'Canada's best athlete', Gene Kiniski, said he could defeat anyone at their sport but they had to wrestle him first!
I always enjoyed showmen. So, 'Mr Wonderful' Paul Orndorf was a hero. Big Pappa Pump carried on that tradition.
Who can forget "Helloooo, Ladies!" by Val Venus!
Paul Mercurio did well against big guys.
I disliked the bs artists like Paul Hogan who wasted too much time in the interviews. Nature Boy Ric Flair should retire before he embarrasses himself too much.
George 'The Animal' Steele was funny to look at and watch biting the turnbuckle padding. Ditto for Mr Fuji with his interviews.
I would have paid to see our own Melvin 'Venom Vince Versace' Goodrum wrestle. If he was as good in the ring as he was stirring the crowd when seated in the audience it would have been a hoot.
-
Was Vince really a wrestler or is that BS? any clips?
-
I disliked the bs artists like Paul Hogan who wasted too much time in the interviews.
Yes, Hogan’s abilities didn’t really transcend the parameters of the interview. He had a great gimmick that went down well with the fans, though. And I suppose the fact that he put a lot of asses in a lot of seats for a lot of years makes him a good wrestler in that regard.

You guys remember Suzette the Ring girl for the WWf back in the 80's? She is friends with my mom and owns a killer golf course(inheritance) in my area. I stopped by my moms yesterday and she was telling me how her deadbeat husband ran the place into the ground and she was trying to sell it. Anyway, we chatted briefly about Chris Benoit, who she did not know, and wrestlers doing drugs. She said that doing that was the absolute wost time in her life and most of them were animals on drugs all the time. She did tell me her favorite people in the business were Vince and Hulk, she said they were very nice gentlemen and Hulk was a loving family man, which we all know now. She also said that Shano Mac was a teen when she worked there and he was as nice as could be, not spoiled acting in the least and polite to everyone. A little OT, but this is a Wrestling thread.

Hogan vs Andre at Wrestlemania definitly was one of the biggest Wrestling events of the century.
My favorites are: The Rock
Jimmy Snuka
Pedro Morales
Hawk & Animal
I went to high school with Droz...it sucks what happened to him. Wrestling may be acted but it's far from "fake".

WM III has always been my favorite “Mania.”
WWF was at one of its greatest peaks, and the card was fantastic:
Roddy Piper’s retirement match vs. Adrian Adonis (in Adonis’ last WM, though we could’ve done without the birth of Brutus “The Barber”)
One of the last times the British Bulldogs worked with the Hart Foundation.
Savage vs. Steamboat was under the main event, but easily stole the show.
The brilliant Bobby “The Brain” Heenan both managing and doing commentary with the late, great Gorilla Monsoon and Jesse Ventura.
The indoor attendance record of 93,173 people, coupled with the fact that a few weeks later the Pope was at the Silverdome and only drew sixty-some thousand. Wrestle Mania outdrew the friggin POPE!!!
