Are you dissing the Alabama Hammer?

I had to Google that one because we don't have him up here in North Alabama, but wow! Yes, I am talking about his ilk. We have a lawyer up here named Charles Pitman and his commericals are so bad, I think he is purposely trying to be as cheesy as possible. He uses 1990s quality CGI affects with his commercials and actually did the "superhero" style with him flying around a city. Made me think of Joel McHale's character from "Community".

I'm sure some of the above are adequate, if you are looking for just a little pocket change. But, this guy personally returns your call. He has a nice beard and wears a pinky ring. So, what's not to like?

JYD and Burrhead were two different rasslers.  JYD died a few years back.  Not sure if Jones is still around.  I imagine he is, being a super hero and all.

He lives in NY now but boy him and the Golden Boy were something to behold back in the day before the NAACP got all uppity over those "tar and feather" matches.

Back when the TV was wavy but the rasslin was real. Gorgeous George was always pretty shady to me. WTVY in Dothan was the main rasslin station in the Wiregrass in the 70's and early 80's. There were big matches in Dothan and New Brockton farm center on a regular basis. Terry "The Hulk" Boulder (later Hulk Hogan) lived in a trailer park owned by my friend's dad. He wasn't in the area very long but he earned his way to the top.

WT, you'll appreciate this.  We've got a bunch of us who get together during week day mornings for breakfast to solve the world's problems.  A few weeks back, Charlie Platt joined us and we heard some of the funniest rasslin' stories you could imagine.  One quick one was during the TV taping, Platt's wife went into labor and headed to the hospital.  They had to come up with a way to get Platt out of there so he could join his wife, so they quickly concocted a scene where Platt was interviewing, I believe it was Bullet Bob Armstrong, who was going through a brief stint as a bad guy.  During the interview, Platt gets clocked and they have to carry him out on a stretcher and of course, to an ambulance headed to the Medical Center. 

CP said later on when they aired it, the hospital administrator came to him and told him he had to make some sort of announcement because the phone lines were tied up for hours with people checking on his condition.  WTVY ran it on a scroll that Platt was okay.

That was in the day when folks followed rasslin like a religion. My younger brother lived for that stuff.

He was in a body cast down to one knee and made my dad take him to Montgomery to see it. They sat him up front and my dad said that all he did the whole night was pick my brother up off the floor where he kept falling out of the chair.


If only we could have afforded video back then. This was around 78 or 79.

I remember hearing about this. Platt is legendary as you well know. Does he still do his morning show?

Here's a real one for you. My buddy and I are 16 yrs old and we take a girl to a rasslin match in New Brockton. She's a good friend and maybe a little more to my buddy, I don't know. But she's a looker. We have our football sweaters on because, as you know, I was a big time and highly touted athlete. And we wanted to make sure everyone could see we were really tough guys or someone could mistakingly intercourse with us and get that ass whipped easy in New Brockton.

Just so happens Brad Armstrong is I guess what you would call the headliner. I don't think Bullet Bob was there but my memory is foggy because one of the few things I do remember is being very publicly challenged by Brad Armstrong to fight "right now gdammit! Right now if you two aren't pussies!"

And I had not said shit. Brad took a liking to the girl we were with and was at the entrance area talking to her and it pissed my buddy off. I did not care. She could go with Brad as far as I was concerned.

Buy my buddy went up to her "Let's Go". Maybe he gave a dirty look, I don't know. But I very well remember the tirade that the greased up Armstrong went into. He was in little yellow panties. A big dicked man like myself couldn't have worn them.

I am honest when I say, it did scare the shit outta me. And he was mainly talking to my buddy. I remember putting my hand in my pocket to get my knife ready. I plan to cut and run, as usual.

But after getting a mile or two down the road, we both realized we missed out on a prime opportunity. We would've whipped that ass, we were certain. After the fact.

Snagette's granddad was a rasslin' freak.  It didn't matter what was happening.  Didn't matter if his wife was having a heart attack, if it was time to head to the Houston County Farm Center for Southeast Championship Rasslin' on Saturday night...you best believe he was out the door.  Ring side seats for a decade or two.  (Warning:  BIL story to follow)  Every now and then, me and BIL would go out there with him.  He loved for us to go.  One night, the world champ, Nature Boy, Ric Flair, was jumping in the squared circle to defend his belt against Austin Idol.  Me and BIL are standing in the aisle where the "bad guys" walk to and from the ring. 

At one point in the match, Idol is tossing Flair around so Flair jumps out of the ring and acts like he's through.  He's headed back to the locker room.  He stops right beside us.  BIL is right in front of me and hollers, "Get back in the ring you pussy."....and promptly sits down in a chair beside me.  Flair turns around slowly and is face to face with Snags.  He walks up to me and says, "I know you ain't talkin' to me, darlin'". 

No sir, Mr. Flair.  It was him.

I'da whipped his ass if he pushed it, though.
