He was involved with a couple of the king of the deathmatch tournament's with mick foley and Terry funk. R.I.P too him 64 really is no age Quote
Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted December 23, 2021 Paid Members 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

R.I.P too him 64 really is no age The Leatherface in the King of the Deathmatch was Rick Patterson, the second guy to play Leatherface in Japan, after Kirchner left IWA: Japan. 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. Quote

Paid Members bAzTNM#1 Posted December 23, 2021 Paid Members Posted December 23, 2021 Yes, he turned it down for some reason. So did the Red Rooster, can't blame the Rooster there. Quote
RancidPunx Posted December 23, 2021 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
