Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted December 23, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted December 23, 2021 (edited) Getting in with the "Are your sure it was really him?" before anybody else does. He's got a legit past like Johnny Rambo, no wonder they pushed him. Edited December 23, 2021 by bAzTNM#1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirchner was the version who became "Super Leather" in FMW, though the two teamed up for a while too. It's Patterson who, as Leatherface, does one of the most generic babyface, "I'll do my best, and hope to win" promos before his deathmatch with Terry Funk.

Paid Members Tommy! Posted December 23, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted December 23, 2021 Was it him who got dropped from the WM17 battle royal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted December 23, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted December 23, 2021 Yes, he turned it down for some reason. So did the Red Rooster, can't blame the Rooster there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancidPunx Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 This is one of his more famous garbage/death matches under his leather face gimmick, gets a little ropey about 12 mins in…..   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Passed away for reals this time.
