I had always wondered, for all his incredible mobillity for a big man, exactly how much Blackwell weighed. (I never bought the "472 lbs" stuff which he was announced at, all the years I watched AWA as a kid. I can believe that he was in the neighborhood of THREE-Seventy-Two; but not 472.) The wrestling business often inflates a wrestler's size just to impress, especially the kid fans. Just like they used to announce Andre The Giant at 7'4 & 500ish pounds. I think Andre was 6'10 - 7 Foot.

I'm proud to be a french-Canadian simply because Mad Dog was French-Canadian too. Mad Dog is the best !!

Mad Dog was comedian/ cerebral all in one. He was my all time favorite.

Crusher Blackwell was very mobile for a big man.

@vinnieodude Remember that scene of MD making the pine box? One of the greatest things I've ever seen. Gene Okerland was great in that too. Classic
