busstogate Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 As for this thread, why not? I asked a question in another thread and there was no response, so let my repeating it be the first of hopefully many more trivia questions to keep us a little occupied in the off-season. Name a famous older and deceased pro wrestler who is both in the IHSWCA Hall of Fame and is a two-time state champ. (The wikipedia entry and his Find-A-Grave have him down as a three-timer, but the IHSAA archives say otherwise.) A hint? His oldest son had the same full name and both were popularly remembered as Texans, since our subject and his family moved there after high school at some point. Another hint? He had another son who is considered a pioneer of the "hardcore" pro wrestling style favored by the promotion ECW. Last hint? His last name is considered to be a whole "new" style of amateur wrestling here in the US, mainly at the college and high school levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
