Yes-I liked the story he was cut from The Packers because he was too dangerous for his teammates in practice-banned from the NFL for life because he was jut too mean a man.
They were so darn mean if they didn’t have anyone else to fight they fought each other
Here is a Moose Cholak match. The crowd hated him so much they started throwing eggs
Yeah. When you were in the crowd and felt the brotherhood of 100% hate it was like being part of the rapture.
My Dad was a friend of Bill Quilliam in Washington Indiana. Bill wrote a column for the Washington Times Herald and would always refer to his wife as, "The Crusher". I laughed every time he referred to her. I enjoyed going to the 4th Street Diner, the former Pancake House in Washington with Dad and Bill would be there. The stories they told were so funny.
Let’s not forget the Shire Brothers, Yukon King, and Bobo “the Coco Butt” Brazil.
I remember Bobby Henan. He Evan (fake ) got hit by a chair one night in a match
BoBo only used it as a last resort/time-to-go-in-for-the-kill type of moment. The head-to-head confrontation immediately paralyzed the recipient, ending the match in an easy three count. The crowd went wild. “The Coco Butt” was his trademark. As young kids, we used to sing, “Jimmy, Jimmy Coco Butt, Jimmy Jimmy butt...” I don’t know if it was from a song lyric at the time or just some silliness of kids, but whatever it was, we sang it all the time.
