It's amazing how many wrestlers we've watched in recent years aren't with us any more. I can't watch the crap thrown at us by WWE and TNA anymore. I read about wrestling FAR more than I watch it anymore. I'm currently reading "The Pro Wrestling Hall Of Fame: The Heels" by Greg Oliver and Steven Johnson. It gives thumbnail bios of the great heels(bad guys) throughout the years. Many current and past wrestlers are profiled, including several who spent time in Knoxville-based promotions, such as The Mongolian Stomper, Prof. Toru Tanaka, Exotic Adrian Street, and Ron Wright. I strongly recommend this book(available at local bookstores)to anyone who is interested in the wrestling history that you don't see on TV.

NEXT QUESTION:

Southeastern great Don Carson teamed for a while with his "brother" Ron Carson. "Ron Carson" was known world-wide by his MUCH more famous ring name. Who was he?

Three hints:
1. He's from Texas.
2. He's a former WWF(E)tag-team champion.
3. He's deceased.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!

Sorry, Peachiegirlflowerforyou , John "Bradshaw" Layfield isn't correct. Besides being too young, he's not deceased.

Of course, since virtually no one watches Smackdown anymore, that was an honest mistakelaugh .

Exactly right, heartSoulflowerforyou , D*** Murdoch(damn censorsgrumble ), before he became famous as one-half of the Texas Outlaws with Dusty Rhodes(Happy Birthday,Big Dust-62 today), Murdoch teamed in the Gulf Coast region and Tennessee with veteran Don Carson,playing the part of Don's "brother" Ron.

NEXT QUESTION:

In the early 90s, the Fabulous Freebirds in WCW consisted of Michael Hayes, Jimmy Garvin, and for a short while, a masked man called Badstreet. Who was under the mask, playing the role of Badstreet?

"Dudes With Attitudes" was exactly right. These six guys had overall the worst attitudes in wrestling. From Luger, who was always openly disdainful of the business that made him a millionaire, to the Steiners, who showed their utter classlessness by brutalizing(for real)unsuspecting jobbers in the ring, to Sting and Orndorff, who were arrogant assholes out of the ring. Gee, Triple H and Jeff Jarrett must have studied these guys to pattern their career pathslaugh !

Too bad he has the need to constantly bury other talent to stroke his own ego. I've never said HHH wasn't talented or not nice to fans. I give him credit for that. And he has drawn money, which isthe true bottom line in wrestling. I just wish he'd realize that he can still be a major star without doing so at the expense of the careers of others.

My favorite HHH time was obviously when he was the leader of DX with Chyna, X-Pac, and the New Age Outlaws. This gimmick left WCW's New World Order in the dust.

NEXT QUESTION:

Anyone who's either a long-time wrestling fan, or likes wrestling history has heard of the famous "Concession Stand Brawl" in Tupelo, Mississippi in 1981. This was one of the first matches to show a more "hardcore" style of wrestling that eventually led to ECW.

My Question Is:

Name the four wrestlers in that match.
