Not many people know this, but I’ve always considered myself an artist of sorts. Ever since I was a young kid, I invariably find myself passing the time by doodling, drawing, and, on occasion, even painting. In the space between my paper and pencil, and in those moments when inspiration would strike, my imagination would run amok and these bigger-than-life personas - football players and comic book characters and, of course, professional wrestlers - would come to life. I wasn’t aware of this until much later, but for all those years my mother would quietly steal away my drawings, saving them for all prosperity, and perhaps giving her a way to relive all of those memories of me as a child. That’s exactly what happened to me when she showed me those old sketches of Iron Man and Walter Payton and Fred Flintstone and Hulk Hogan. I found myself instantly transported back to a time where things were simpler and characters were real and the art was pure. I get a lot of really similar feelings when I look at the incredible art that Rob Schamberger has shared with 2 foreward us all. Rob’s passion for art and for professional wrestling struck me immediately as someone that has equally grown to love and appreciate both, and by Adam Pearce truth be told I am extremely jealous of his talents.

Larry Hennig & Harley Race
Larry Hennig & Harley Race Larry "The Axe" Hennig (born June 18, 1936) is an American retired professional wrestler. He is the father of the late "Mr. Perfect" Curt Hennig, the grandfather of Joe "Curtis Axel" Hennig, and is best known for his work in the American Wrestling Association, National Wrestling Alliance and World Wide Wrestling Federation. Hennig was also known for his muscular neck which, to this day, measures 22 inches. Harley Leland Race (born April 11, 1943)[2] is an American former professional wrestler, and current promoter and trainer. During his career as a wrestler, Race worked for all of the major wrestling promotions, including the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), the American Wrestling Association (AWA), the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE), and World Championship Wrestling(WCW). He held the NWA World Heavyweight Championship seven times, and was the first NWA United States Heavyweight Champion, which is now known as the WWE's United States Championship. Race is one of six men inducted into each of the WWE Hall of Fame, the NWA Hall of Fame, the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Hall of Fame, and is considered by many past and present fans/wrestlers and promoters as one of the best professional wrestlers of all time. He is highly respected for his toughness and lifelong dedication to the business. After a serious auto accident where Race almost lost his leg and intense physical therapy, he returned to the ring in 1964, wrestling for the Funks' Amarillo, Texas, territory. This time, he wrestled under his own name, after his father told him that he should not work to make anyone else's name famous.

The myth of the unbeatable fighter is just that, a myth. In what will go down as the single most memorable UFC fight in history, Ronda Rousey was not only defeated, but systematically destroyed by a fighter and a coaching staff that had spent years preparing for that night. On 2/28, Holly Holm and Ronda Rousey were the two co-headliners on a show at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The idea was that Holm, a former world boxing champion, would impressively knock out Raquel Pennington, a .500 level fighter who was known for exchanging blows and not taking her down. Rousey was there to face Cat Zingano, a fight that was supposed to be the hardest one of her career. Holm looked unimpressive, barely squeaking by in a split decision. Rousey beat Zingano with an armbar in 14 seconds.

While in a worst-case scenario of what could television stations which would cause a lessening of exposure happen, one couldn't completely rule that out as a possibility. would indirectly lead to a major effect on live attendance and all But it was maybe a 200-to-one longshot, at best. Most of this other revenue sources. At the same time, a promoter like Don talk was incredibly premature and so unlikely at the time that it King, who in comparison makes Vince McMahon seem like a didn't seem to be worth serious discussion. saint, has survived and prospered even though most Americans have an idea of what kind of a person he really is. People will It's still premature. It's still unlikely. But it's also worth serious pay money to see an entertainment/sport even if the owner has discussion. Make no mistake about it. Friday night, if it were not a shady rep forever because they are paying to see the for some incredible luck, the Titan empire may have been in a performers. But boxing isn't marketed as a kids show and aired race to avoid crumbling before Wrestlemania. Even with the in syndication primarily on Saturday mornings, so parts of that incredible luck, it may be too late for Titan to inevitably avoid analogy doesn't hold up.

DICK the BRUISER by John Maxymuk Adapted from Packers by the Numbers, Prairie Oak Press, 2003
THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 27, No. 4 (2005) DICK THE BRUISER By John Maxymuk Adapted from Packers By the Numbers, Prairie Oak Press, 2003. William Frederick “Dick” Afflis played guard, tackle, and defensive line in his four years with Green Bay and wore a higher uniform number each year. He was a credible performer, but will never be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. However, he was selected for the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2005 based on his 35-year career within the scripted ring as Dick the Bruiser. Dick wasn’t the greatest lineman the Packers had, but he was one of the most interesting characters. In college he moved around a lot. He left Purdue after punching one of the coaches and departed Miami after being caught making book. He lasted only two weeks at Notre Dame and also passed through Alabama before landing in the desert at Nevada-Reno. He was drafted in the 16th round by the Packers and was most noteworthy for his strength. He was an early proponent of body building and looked odd in his football uniform with his 52-inch barrel chest and 30-inch wasp waist. Afflis was not someone to make angry. In the early 1950s many Packer fans would take the train to Chicago and back for the Bears game, and sometimes they would run into players in the dining car. Once a fan got in Afflis’ face about the game on the trip home, and Dick broke off a beer bottle on the bar and invited the fan to do something about it.
