    Great interview Hannibal! I was born in 78, it's so funny, as a kid I used to think Hogan and Warrior were amazing wrestlers, now I look back at those matches and it is so obvious it was guys like DiBiase and Ric Rude that had the ring skill to make those matches look decent. Not to mention how much better they were on the mic as well.

      Right!! I was born the same year and the Warrior was my favorite back then. So true who the real pros were!! The Warrior sure was entertaining though entering the ring!!

      I've missed you brother, seems the old meeting ground (Wrestling Reaper) is closed until further notice.
      Edit: it was a wonder to me that buggy whip arm Ted could sling those chubby piggies as he so adeptly did. He really knew how to use their obesity against them. There were early Herc matches back in 85 (when he was mini Brody) that Herc used only muscle and no leverage and he failed a bunch of times, he botched lifts using Mario Mancini when Ted woulda adroitly flung the portly Mario like yeast dough

      I too miss seeing Ted fling that sweaty, pasty-white moustached Mancini up in the air like a chef in a North End Italian eatery heaving pizza dough ten feet high. Mancini was about as menacing as Grimace from Mickie D's, same goes with watching the Million Dollar Man land four or five fist drops on that fat slob Jake Milliman and then watching him flap around on the canvas like a Bluegill Sunfish fresh out of water. By the time the Million Dollar Dream was slapped on it was as if Ted was wriggling around a Bloomingdales mannequin.
      Let's face it, back in the late 80's Vince probably wiped his ass with 100 dollar bills and I'll just bet he gave Bruno the ol' playful nudge to the gut everytime Ted would stuff yet another grungy, gruby, grimy C-Note in the mouth of a hapless jobber!

    As a youngster, I absolutely HATED this man. I was such a mark, and I bought into the "face/heel" ideas from my childhood. I've gained a new appreciation for guys like DiBiase, Piper, and Honky Tonk Man for their lives as human targets for our entertainment.

      That’s b/c it felt real back then. You felt the struggle for the good guy to overcome the odds the heels put in front of them. DiBiase had The Rat Pack to go through before JYD or Mr. Wrestling ll could get to him and have a shot at the NA title. It was great back then.
