Oh, didn’t recognize Typhoon at the beginning without Ole Anderson doing the voice for him!
One of the best fun facts about the Road Warriors was that they,Rick Rude and Barry Darsow, who I think was Smash in Demolition, were all bouncers at the bar Grandma Bs at the same time.I would love to hear a story from someone removed from that bar by that group but I’m sure there were no survivors.
1st, thanks for another great episode. Here are my top 3 patriotic moments:
(1) The video montages during America the Beautiful that lead off each Wrestlemania.
(2) Hulk Hogan’s Real American theme song.
(3) Roddy Piper’s pro-American commentary during the Gulf War. Notable because he was a Canadian portraying a Scot.
Least patriotic:
(1) American Badass Undertaker
patriotic themes
1. Hulk Hogan monster truck. What is more American than fiber glass 24 inch pythons on a ten foot tall monster truck with American made 572 cube inch motor in it.
2. Any gimmick with a military theme i.e. War games, Boot camp or Desert Storm Match.
3. Sting’s face paint
Lesser patriotic themes Col. DeBeers
Least Patriotic:
The Fabulous Rougeaus theme song of “All American Boys”
