I didn't really have any indies running around my area (Southern Illinois) growing up. Poffo's ICW did run my high school's gym once, though. I was too young to have gone, but I was told the main was Lanny vs. Savage. A friend of mine's older brother always told me how he threw a wadded-up paper cup into the ring. He yelled, "USE THE CUP, MACHO MAN!!!" I guess Savage picked it up and rubbed it in Lanny's face. Brush with fame.
I got to meet Rip Rogers a couple of years ago. Apparently, he's got a photographic memory. I mentioned this show in my hometown and he was on it, too. He rattled off the date and half the card. Pretty amazing.
