Judy Grable -- One of the female stars of the 50s. She took her name from Betty Grable. She wasn't one of the top tier women in her era but she was a legitimate star.

Toots Mondt -- Mondt was a former shooter who worked with Strangler Lewis and Billy Sandow in the 20s and controlled the world title for a time and bounced from place to place. He was Vince McMahon Sr.'s business partner and some said the wrestling brains behind the outfit into the 1960s. He was considered a very controversial person in the industry.

Rikidozan -- The father of Japanese pro wrestling and easily the single most influential pro wrestler in history. No wrestler was ever such a major cultural figure, in both Japan and in North Korea after his death. On a cultural basis, he would be far closer to Muhammad Ali than to Hulk Hogan.

Farmer Burns -- A world champion in the late 1800s, Burns was the coach and promoter of Frank Gotch, the first true superstar pro wrestler and mainstream sports figure to come out of wrestling.
Luther Lindsay -- A noted shooter. He was a star, but not a major star. Like Art Thomas, this is what it is.

Dr. Jerry Graham -- Vince McMahon's childhood favorite pro wrestler. The Graham Brothers (Jerry & Eddie, who were not brothers) vs. Argentina Rocca & Miguel Perez was a huge program in Madison Square Garden. The Doc was a colorful figure, whose problems with alcohol prematurely ended a run that should have had a lot of legs left in him. Vince McMahon and his father tried to bring him back a few times but it never worked out.

June Byers -- Byers claimed the women's world title from 1953 to 1964 although there were other claimants. Most of her era considered her the best of the women wrestlers after the retirement of Mildred Burke.

Haystacks Calhoun -- Billed at 450 to 600 pounds, Calhoun was a great touring attraction in pro wrestler, similar to what Andre the Giant later would be, but not on the same level as Andre.

GWF fans, if you're even thinking about changing the channel to our competition, do not. Because we understand that The Frankman, who posted here one time as Marky Mark, is going to win their World Title.

Hmmph, that's gonna put some butts in the seats!

Dennis rodman was probably the most logical and well integrated celebrity persona in pro wrestling in the 90s. More than Mike Tyson (come at me Bros)

Considering I've never seen anyone have a good word to say about the man, that's probably putting it lightly. And Lou Thesz despised him, that's good enough for me.

Sephzilla, and anyone interested, here's a couple pictures of my cats:

Jezebel with one of her favorite past times, sleeping in empty boxes:

and Gus, trying to spread out in a bed too small for him (it's for a smaller dog we have)

Also, bonus picture of Gus looking all WTF after I wrapped him in a blanket.
