Bombdirt Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Lots of good childhood memories with the Animal. I never realized he had a master's degree until I read it in an obituary. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Clouds Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 Bald head, extremely hairy body, loved to chew up the corner turnbuckles, green tongue. Truly one of a kind. RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIP Back when The Animal was big, and way before the internet, we always heard the rumor that he was actually a college professor. Not far from the truth.

chirorob Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Him vs. Randy Savage was epic, chasing around Miss Elizabeth. While it is sad that he left, it's nice to hear of an ex wrestler making it into his late 70s, rather than dying at 42. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetophile Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The old man goes, "Tor Johnson died?" Did not want to laugh. OK, I did. RIP. Hand up to Chief Jay Strongbow. I liked Queen Kong, but I'll be forever conflicted over whether the movie is better. Thoughts? And of course, RIP Mike Bell. Edit & P.S.: Holy Crap! He played Tor Johnson in 'Ed Wood'! I forgot about that. Hahahahaha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
