The guy's name was Craig Johnson he even looked like Joey Styles a little also but dont worry about that look at Axl Rotten and see how much he changes in the last 12 years or so
@hardtime3000 Lol at how his appearance was somewhat of a "big deal" to the announcers. Nowadays with all the weird looks it would be pretty bland in comparison. Who knew that in a few years he'd be battering his opponents in Taipei death matches and swinging chairs
@bkstyle82 Think of the progression of that concept: What was the first real thing wrestlers did to set themselves apart? FACIAL HAIR!? NON-MONOCROME TIGHTS!!!!? What about the first guy to use entrance music? That must've blown people's minds, man. Now we have the "five moves of death," whereas once a guy with five moves would have been considered a technical mastermind. I'll bet there was a time where guys that did both the suplex AND the back body drop were considered spot monkeys.
good match

"Imagine what I could do to you" by Exotic Adrian Street.
It's mid 70's glam style.
