Ugliest mofo to ever get pushed as a "BJ" wrestler AND get over

[pantherwagner]

I was watching some World Class the other day (and again today) and I started wondering if David Von Erich is the ugliest mofo to ever get pushed as a "blowjob" wrestler AND actually get over in the role. I'm sure that most of you know that term or could guess that that meant, but for the younger posters here, a "blowjob"wrestler is a Memphis wrestling term to describe a good looking babyface who is given a decent push and used to draw young females to the show.

 

I know there's Robert Gibson, but while he is a pretty ugly dude, can't say he looks like he's got an extra chromosome 21 or that his mom and dad are cousins.

 

Ricky Santana and El Dandy would be good examples as well.

 

Any others?

How bout Kendall Windham in Florida

[Matt D]

Dan Spivey is one creepy looking dude.

I never got Wildfire as being a babyface the chicks dug.

Harris brothers as a baby face team with long flowing blond hair has to be up there

I need photo evidence of this.

God how have we forgotten Eric Embry here.

[jdw]

Embry is a perfect one.

[Badlittlekitten]

Umm . . na, not having that. Embry was an absolute dreamboat in his younger days before the smelly drunk look.

 

Johnny Ace is a funny one. Not so much ugly (though he was quite ugly), just looked bloody ridiculous in that Dynamic dudes gear.

I don't know if Brian Kendrick is ugly, but he sure looks creepy.

Bruce Hart in Badd Company days with Brian Pillman. I'm sure the girls were running the other way if they got stuck with Bruce as a consolation prize over Pillman.

Interesting you'd say that. He's one of the better looking guys in wrestling imo.

[Loss]

He looks like a valley girl. Wearing pink outfits as Spanky doesn't help me get over the image of a woman's head on a man's body every time I see him.

Greg Gagne and Jim Brunzell…jesus christ what they had in wrestling skill they lost in BUCKETS in looks...

 

Steve Kerin…seriously, in the Fabs to be taken as a BJ type guy? Fuck that….but Jackie Fargo put them together and that was one seriously goofy lookin dude as well…different era maybe, but ugly is ugly…period.

[Blazer]

Steve Keirn wasn't a bad looking dude in '83/'84. I think the huge surprise that people saw him as Skinner later validates that. "That's STEVE KEIRN? What the hell happened to him?!"

 

I'm not sure the High Flyers were really ever considered a BJ team. That's not who they were. They were the all-american guys next door, but not your BJs.

[PeteF3]

For that matter I dispute Embry as a "BJ" as well. Despite being "Flamboyant" he was a hard-nosed working-class rube, at least during his biggest babyface run.

[pantherwagner]

Yeah I'm curious about an Embry run as a BJ. Can't see that one.

 

[KrisZ]

Embry got pushes in Florida & Southwest as the young fiery babyface which was definitely a BJ push in that era.

 

If we are talking AWA then Buck Zumhofe would be mentioned for sure but with his recent issues it is very creepy to think about

[Smack2k]

AWA wise, I'd say the High FLyers were the closest thing to a BJ babyface in that whole territory...

No fucking way was Zoomhofe pushed as a BJ. He was a hard nosed dude. Just because he had a rock n roll gimmick, doesnt mean he was a BJ.

 

I'll submit this, and I'm pretty confident in saying it. The AWA didn't have BJ wrestlers except for maybe Rick Martel. The Fabs would have been the first ones. The AWA was about hard-nosed Midwestern kick-ass beer-belly guys. Verne didn't think in the same terms that Jerry Jarrett and, later, Watts did.

[Ditch]

Morton might have been Brad Pitt in comparison to Gibson, but he's gotta be top 5. Short (for wrestling), not impressively built, stereotypical bad '80s hair, and not remotely handsome.

"Mr. Electricity" Steve Regal was a BJ push for Bruiser's WWA in the early 80's

This. Not every promotion had BJ wrestlers. They can't just be someone female fans like, it has to be a guy or a team that is marketed towards bringing a female audience to the arenas. From the AWA that I saw, no one was presented that way in the AWA.

And not just women...but younger women. We've all heard the story about Jarrett asking Watts who his blowjobs were when they were doing the trade for the RNR Express. A lot of old ladies went to watch AWA wrestling at the Amphitheater in Chicago, but the young chicks...well, Verne just didn't target that demo.
