I always rootted for Scrap Iron Gadaski back in the day. He pretty much always lost, but he put up a helluva fight. I think they actually let him win once in a great while, but never against the top stars.

Some of the best fistfights I remember seeing in grade school was over whether or not all-star wrestling is real. Wahoo McDaniels, Ivan Koloff, Kabuki, a bunch I can't remember. Dirty Dusty Roads was a hoot. He was being interviewed and was asked if he was going to be at the upcoming event they were promoting, and he says "maybe rain or maybe snow, maybe yes and maybe no."
I think half those characters were 2/3 schnockered when they were doing those interviews. I was just a kid, but looking back they sure were trying not to laugh their asses off. I did think it was kind of weird to see a couple old fat guys in their underware rolling around on each other.
