Ok we have a few things in here to cover:
1. Woooooooooo! The Nature Boy Ric Flair is the 16 time World Heavyweight Champion and has been rocking the house for over 30 years. He’s Space Mountain! Wooooooo! Brett Hart was a great wrestler and tactician, but he had a much shorter career and didnt acheive the same level of greatness as Ric Flair (none have though HHH is a good candidate to be spoken of in the same breath.) Summary: The Jet flying, limousine riding, kiss stealing and wheeling and dealing son of a gun is the winner here. Wooooooooo!
2. No, Lex Luger was not convicted of killing Miss Elizabeth. It was an accidental drug and alcohol overdose. They both led a fast life and unfortunately her’s caught up with her. Lex still lives in Atlanta and appears at regional shows and fan events.
3. Dustin Rhodes (Gold dust) is the son of Dusty Rhodes. HIS Son is now wrestling in the WWE as Cody Rhodes. Dustin is wrestling in TNA as Black Reign. I was good friends with the nephew of Stardust and got to meet him a number of times.
Florida was second only to Canada as a producer of great wrestlers, most retire here. Local Tampa Bay Alumni include Barry Wyndham, Blackjack Mulligan, Macho Man Randy Savage, Leaping Lanny Poffo (Macho Man’s brother), Hulk Hogan and dozens of other mid card wrestlers. A few of our retirees include Kevin Sullivan, Exotic Adrian Street, Hacksaw Jim Dugan, and rest his soul Bam Bam Bigelow.
When I grew up it was our number one sport and actually rivaled football in popularity.
