Paid Members Sergio Mendacious Posted June 24, 2015 Paid Members Share Posted June 24, 2015 The head of the Andre statue reminds me of the terrifying busy of Lionel Richie in the "Hello" video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgi86 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I've recently come to find out that apparently there's three in Bulgaria. All of guys who wrestled professionally way back in the day (Koloff in the 1920s and 1930s, and the other ones in the late 19th/early 20th century).  "The Balkan Lion" Dan Koloff in Sennik, Bulgaria  "The Terrible Turk" Yusuf Ismail in Cherna, Bulgaria  Nicolai Petroff in Gorna Oryahovitsa, Bulgaria   And also, apparently there's a statue of Kurtdereli Mehmet (another late 19th/early 20th century pro) somewhere in Turkey. Not sure where exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
