Honky always complains about Arn's autobiography leaving out the early story of Arn wrestling Bob Armstrong, who pulled him by the hair and the wig came off.

Fond memories there of Superstars of Wrestling (forerunner to PS) telling me in the post Mania IX issue, the Lightning Kid was coming in, and his matches with Sabu in Global were getting plaudits.

@2Xtreme_lives It could easily have been Jerry Lynn now that I think about it.

Meanwhile, in the big time....

Stolen from Allan Cheapshot on Twitter…pissed myself at this. ‘Arn Anderson billed as Jim Verderoso in 1982’…

That’s gotta be a syrup right? ? If not he must’ve had a very stressful couple of years after this because he was thinning badly by about 85 wasn’t he? 

He was balding even in late 1982, never mind 1985.

As its nearly SummerSlam time here's that photo of Taker, Bearer and Charles Godfather without his Papa Shango get up checking out the setup at Wembley.

And from around the same time here's Taker and Papa partly gimmicked but looking cool in shades, just chilling with Hacksaw, Virgil and, umm, Reverend Slick.

CVV broke his 'nonces only' rule to interview the elusive Steve Blackman, who looks to be in incredible shape at almost 62 years of age.

Bit of Just For Men on the flat-top and goatee and it’s pretty much 1998 all over again.

Is he still doing his bounty hunter stuff? Swear I remember seeing footage of him doing it maybe a tv show (like dog the bounty hunter) where a woman threw a glass at him or something?

Team Bundy (n. King Kong) would lamp even Hulkamaniacs 89.

He runs a successful bail bonds business. Post-WWE he was running an MMA gym and promoting local MMA shows before he had kids.

Crazy that he lost 8 years of his career due to malaria. He was a huge jacked guy in the late 80s and could have done well in that era's WWE.

Here he is vs Abdullah the Butcher in 1987

Yep. He was doing matches for the WWF in (I think) 1987. It’s interesting to think about considering he didn’t end up back there until 10 years later when the product was a lot different. But I don’t think he’d have gone too far in late 80s WWF myself. He was jacked but everyone was back then and he wasn’t ever gonna stand out too much with all the big characters in that era. Midcard run at best but it’s mad to even picture him on, say, Survivor Series 87 or something.

Chris Morris fans rank high on here so this will literally be old news but a few items:

• The excellent juxtaposition of BRASS EYE FILTH and pawing at 15 year old Charlotte Church
• Wrestling is just "healthy messing around"

Immortalised by his awesome Galoob figure too. Such a distinctive look!
