Unsung hardmen

Wade Barrett was a bare knuckle boxing champion in Eastern Europe.

(Yes I know that one isn't true.)

Danny Spivey battered Adrian Adonis after a match.

Bad News Brown threatened Andre (on the bus after Andre used the N word) and Andre backed down.

In a shoot interview, Hurricane Helms reckoned he could batter anyone. Same with Mike Graham.

Wolfgang used to work in a pub in Scotland so you know he must be hard.

Well, not really, but that didn't stop Nigel McGuinness from mentioning it every bastard week.

Apparently La Parka is a nasty bastard who loves fighting.

Never heard the Bossman vs Koko story? Everything I have ever heard about Bossman is that he was chilled and pretty tough in his own right (getting his hand slammed in a car trunk by a taxi driver and calmly asking the driver to open the trunk etc).

Les Kellett would take some beating…from Adrian Street (a tough guy in his own right):

“He could stand pain, all right. Going back to when he was one of Norman Morrell’s henchmen … a big iron girder fell down onto Les Kellett’s foot when he was working in Norman’s gym. There was blood running through his boot. It took half a dozen of them to get the girder off his foot. They were running round saying ‘Les, Les, are you all right?’He said, ‘We’ve got work to do – we’ll look at it after.’

He was working there for hours before he said ‘I think we should have a look at my foot.’ They had to cut and tear his boot off, and there was congealed blood. It was for effect, and the effect worked because that was thirty years ago and I’m still talking about it.”

“Wolfgang used to work in a pub” walked so that “quid pro quo” could run

World's hardest recruitment consultant. Someone tried to pass him a file as he was stretching and gave him a cut on his lat.

Saw Klondike Kate vs Princess Paula at Scarborough in the late 80’s and the beat the living shit out of each other to the point that my Mum said “I thought This was supposed to be fake”.  Tougher than I could ever be.

Damn I bet that was a fight! Yeah I never saw Paula live but I did see Kate and she nearly started a riot. She was getting in the face of drunken men in the crowd and had the old dears in the front row out of their seats and physically attacking her. I have never seen anyone up close be that physically intimidating at a wrestling show.

Joey Styles beating up well known hardman JBL should put him high up the list. 

Not so much liking to call commentary on his own, but more like others were too scared to be in the same room as him for a period of time.
