I have a documentary about Montreal wrestling that is in French and in the English subtitles it explains Eddie Creachman's character as something like "Rich jew who owns a junkyard" so yea I guess he played that part up.
He looked good off the very limited stuff that I have of his 1984 Southeastern run, although I know he was in his 40s. Still seemed like he could go. I should see if khawk knows about him.
Oh! I forgot to write about MY pick! Terry Adonis! That is a really ugly trashy motherfucker and HE is the guy I was talking about when I said there were guys who looked like they were going to the All Star tapings from prison work release and still out working ancient "Uncle of Ricky Steamboat" Dean Ho. Here he is with a chinlock on Dylan's latest pick of Moondog Moretti.
Vic Rossitani (Vic Rain) is an interesting guy, I could find nothing on youtube and the only thing I have of him on DVD is a few shows from 1984 of him in Southeastern. Seems like he was a real journeyman brawler but used a lot more kicks than punches which made him stand out to me in the ring. Really only had a squash match, a couple clips of arena footage and a few promos try and explain him and sell him to Boon though. KrisZ do you have anything on this guy?
Vinnie Valentino was struck from my list with GREAT prejudice for being the jobber who was responsible for wrestling barefoot against "savage" Samoans who were wrestling with boots on.

We could get through the entire next round if the next 5-6 people make their picks fast enough. I have a LOT of people's picks towards the end & middle of Round 21 which means at the end of Round 21 when I have like 5-6 picks in a row I also have the first 5-6 picks of Round 22's snake.
So uh yea if you are RocketCrypt, Jesse Ewiak, peachchaos, Beast, or JerryvonKramer and you aren't sure if you'd be around in 5-6 hours to make a pick you might want to leave me your pick because we could be halfway into Round 22 in the morning. (We are at the end of 20 now)

This was wide open to anyone. Got a list of about 20 certified TV jobbers from AWA, Canada, WCCW, WWF, JCP, lots of places. I was taking jobbers out of my list of possible draftees as I was going along.
The original Tamba the Flying Elephant match I saw of his in Mexico was from sometime in the 80s and looked like SUCH a fun gimmick. I think it's gone now though
I tried and tried to figure out what to do with Tamba. I couldn't think of anything but "loveable jobber" (which is a stretch with those scars) who eventually gets killed by Abby whenever I want to do an Abby run.
