Albert Collins (October 1, 1932 – November 24, 1993)[1] was an American electric blues guitarist and singer with a distinctive guitar style. Collins was noted for his powerful playing and his use of altered tunings and capo. His long association with the Fender Telecaster led to the title "The Master of the Telecaster"[2] Albert Collins was an inspiration to a generation of Texas guitar players including Stevie Ray Vaughan and Jimmie Vaughn. He was amongst a small group of Texas blues players, along with Johnny "Guitar" Watson and Johnny Copeland, who together shaped the legacy of T-Bone Walker into a modern blues template that was to have a major influence on many later players. From an interview with Robert Cray in Guitar World magazine: Collins is remembered for his informal and audience-engaging live performances. He would frequently leave the stage whilst still playing to mingle with the audience.[48] The use of an extended guitar lead allowed Collins to go outside of clubs to the sidewalk with one anecdote stating that he left a club with the audience in tow to visit the store next door to buy a candy bar without once stopping his act.[49] He is also remembered for his humorous stage presence which is recounted in the documentary Antones: Austin's Home of the Blues: Collins was playing a lengthy solo one night at Antone's and left the building whilst still playing. Collins returned to the stage still playing the solo and resumed entertaining the audience in person. Shortly afterwards a man arrived at the club and gave Collins the pizza which he had just ordered.[50] Roderick "Roddy" George Toombs (born April 17, 1954),[2] better known by his ring name "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, is a Canadian retired professional wrestler, film actor, and podcast host signed to WWE. In professional wrestling, he is best known for his work with WWF. Although he is Canadian, due to his Scottish heritage he was billed as coming from Glasgow in Scotland and was known for his signature kilt and bagpipe entrance music. He earned the nickname "Rowdy" by displaying his trademark "Scottish" rage, spontaneity and quick wit. Despite being a crowd favorite for his rockstar-like persona, he often played the villain. He was also nicknamed "Hot Rod". Never a world champion, he headlined several major pay-per-view events and accumulated 34 championships in various promotions during his career. Piper was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005. Piper briefly hosted a podcast titled "The Rod Pod". Toombs was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He is of majority Scottish descent, with some Irish on his mother's side. He attended Windsor Park Collegiate. His father was an officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police while they lived in The Pas, Manitoba.[4] After being expelled from junior high[citation needed] and having a falling out with his father, Piper hit the road and stayed in youth hostels wherever he could find them and picking up odd jobs at local gyms running errands for several pro wrestlers. As a young man Roddy became proficient in playing the bagpipes, though he has repeatedly stated that he's unsure exactly where he picked them up.[5] His childhood (and now lifelong) best friend is ex NHL player and Stanley Cup winner Cam Connor.[6] By the age of 14, he made his pro debut in Winnipeg, against Larry Hennig. When Roddy made his way to the ring playing the bagpipes (his gimmick) the ring-announcer introduced him as "Roddy the Piper", the fans in attendance heard it as "Roddy Piper" and the name stuck.[5] Piper lost the match in ten seconds. He was a boxer and an amateur wrestler before he started to become a pro wrestler. He won the Golden Gloves boxing championship. He was awarded a Black Belt in Judo from Gene LeBell, American Judo champion, instructor, stuntman, and professional wrestler.[5] From 1973 to 1975, Piper was a jobber in the AWA, Kansas City, the Maritimes, and Texas working for Paul Boesch's NWA Houston Wrestling promotion and in Dallas working for Fritz Von Erich's Big Time Rasslin. What was supposed to be a brief run in California, however, turned out to be a long term stint as booker Leo Garibaldi and publicist Jeff Walton were impressed with Piper and saw the money making possibilities he had as a villain. By late 1975 and early 1976, Piper was a top villain for Mike and Gene LeBell's NWA Hollywood Wrestling. In 1977–78, he also started to work for Roy Shire's NWA San Francisco Wrestling in addition to remaining with the L.A. office. Los Angeles was where Piper developed his Rowdy character and became one of the most hated villains in Los Angeles since the days of Classy Freddy Blassie. During this time, he made continuous insults directed at the area's Mexican community; he later promised to amend by playing the Mexican national anthem on his bagpipes only to anger the fans further by playing "La Cucaracha" instead.[7] Piper also served as manager for several villains in Los Angeles and worked as a referee from time to time. Piper feuded with all the fan favorites in the area and had a long feud with Chavo Guerrero, Sr.. As part of the L.A. storyline, Roddy Piper feuded with Chavo and the whole Guerrero family for about three years in the L.A. territory going so far as to routinely wear a T-Shirt to the ring reading "Conqueror of the Guerreros". The feud started during a TV bout in early 1976 where Chavo was defending the Jules Strongbow Memorial Scientific Trophy against Piper. Late in this match, Gory Guerrero (who had been in Chavo's corner giving him advice throughout the match) was slapped by Piper. Chavo "lost his cool" and starting punching Piper, getting DQ'ed and losing the Scientific Trophy for "breaking the rules". A short time later, Piper then defeated Chavo for the Americas Heavyweight Title; the two competed in the top feud in Los Angeles for the better part of three years. They main evented against each other often during this era (1976 through 1978). The hair match gimmick was one of the top stipulations between these two, resulting in Piper getting his head shaved. Another top stipulation was when Chavo beat Piper in a loser leave town match and Piper immediately reappeared as The Masked Canadian. In his first televised match as The Masked Canadian, Piper actually teamed with Chavo to battle the Americas Tag Team Champions (Gordman and Goliath) and Piper turned on Chavo late in the match, causing Chavo to get pinned.

  • Cubed Circle Newsletter 201 – We're Not Dead
    Cubed Circle Newsletter 201 – We're Not Dead Given the absence of a newsletter last week following our 200th issue the week prior new readers could be forgiven for thinking that we were on an unannounced extended hiatus. However, as long- time readers will know this newsletter, if anything, is vulnerable to technical difficulties, even ones as trivial as the loss of a laptop charger on holiday. However, after a week off not only are we back with a double issue featuring our last piece of G1 coverage, two weeks of NXT, Mid-South from 1982, and two weeks of RAW featuring Sting, but we also have the debut of a brand new column – the Pro-Wres Digest! The goal of the Digest is to encapsulate the week that was in pro-wrestling in 3-4 pages, providing a TL;DR of sorts for those unable to devote enough time to following every news story that breaks in a given week. – Ryan Clingman, Cubed Circle Newsletter Editor The Pro-Wres Digest for September 6th - 12th. Ben Carass. On Friday September 4th, John Cena was thought to have suffered an injury during a house show match with Kevin Owens in Hampton, VA. Amazingly, it wasn’t the springboard stunner that went wrong but another move John Cena should not be attempting, the code/infrared. Cena went for the move and Owens kind of just fell down on his chest; imagine an axe-guillotine driver but with Owens losing his balance too. When the report first broke, people were freaking out about Cena possibly suffering a neck injury, since they did stop the match for the referee to check on Cena and they went right to the finish after he was checked out.

Honey, Master of Science Utah State University, 2020 Major Professor: Dr. Eric César Morales Program: American Studies This paper examines the shifting portrayals of Pacific Islanders in World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) across three generations. As both a popular and historically racially problematic venue, WWE’s politically incorrect programming has played an underappreciated and under examined role in representing the USA. Although 4 many different groups have been portrayed by gross stereotypes in WWE, this paper uses the family of Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson—the Samoan Dynasty—as a case study. The WWE originally presented Pacific Islanders using the most offensive stereotypes, and the first two generations of the Samoan Dynasty had to “play Indian” or cosign onto gross representations of their people to be recognized by American audiences unfamiliar with representations of Pacific Islanders.

  • Claims Department 27
    Vice is doing a series of documentaries about the heavier aspects of the history of Pro Wrestling called The Dark Side of the Ring. These docs are taking a look at tragedies in the wrestling, and there are quite a few to choose from. The first one they released, and one of the finest true crime docs if you like the human side instead of the hard core investigative side, is about Bruiser Brody. And thus, having finished watching it, I realized I’d never done an issue dedicated to him. This issue, more than any other Claims Department I’ve ever done, will be the story of what it means to be a genius, to live in a world that has rules that are not those of the outside world. This is a story of an American who was a giant star in Japan, partly because he had so much trouble getting along with promoters in the US. This issue tells the story of a man who was an incredibly brawler, who bled in so many matches, who helped re-define what brawling was in an era when wrestling was completely being redefined. He was also an amazing wres- tler, could go on the ground , work a match that would make you believe he was a former Olympian. In short, it is the story of a man who was a master of his craft, and a man who knew he was a master of his craft. Yes, it has a tragic ending. In other news, I’m happy to report that the Boys are turning 4 shortly, and that’s a good thing! JP is reading.

  • The Blackjacks (Blackjack Mulligan & Blackjack Lanza
    THE BLACKJACKS (BLACKJACK MULLIGAN & BLACKJACK LANZA) Inducted by Stan Hansen While Blackjack Mulligan loved his time teaming up with Blackjack Lanza, he knew that it was too good to last. “Most tag teams are one weak guy and one strong guy, not two main eventers. Lanza and I were two main eventers, which was hard to keep as a team,” explained Mulligan. “Usually a team is formed by a weakness of one who’s an undercard guy, who’s a great talent that’s never going to make it big, and this other great talent that pulls the team along. But they compliment each other together … We were main eventers so we didn’t really hold the longevity that we should have.” From their initial pairing in 1972 in Indianapolis under the guidance of manager Bobby Heenan to their dissolution in 1975 when Mulligan left to go solo, the Blackjacks were just about the most feared team out there. Jack Lanza was a 6-foot-5, 250-pounder from Albuquerque, New Mexico, who broke into the business in 1962 after being trained by Verne Gagne. A former sociology teacher after attending the University of Minnesota, he started as the babyface “Cowboy” Jack Lanza before being paired with Heenan in Indianapolis a heel. “I hit if off with Blackjack Lanza the first day I met him. It was just one of those things. We made each other laugh and became the best of friends,” wrote Heenan in his first book. Bob Windham, a 6-foot-9, 345-pound ex-Marine who studied education—and football—at West Texas State, lined up with the New York Jets of the AFL until breaking his leg.

    Kevin Von Erich 1 Kevin Von Erich Kevin Von Erich Ring name(s) Kevin Von Erich Billed height 6 ft 3 in (1.91 m)[citation needed] Billed weight 222 lb (101 kg)[citation needed] Born May 15, 1957 Belleville, Illinois Billed from Denton, Texas Trained by Fritz Von Erich Debut 1976 Retired 1995 Kevin Ross Adkisson (born May 15, 1957) is a retired professional wrestler under the ring name Kevin Von Erich of the Von Erich Family. He is the last surviving son of wrestler Fritz Von Erich and had four brothers that wrestled, David, Kerry, Mike and Chris, as well as an older brother, Jack, Jr., who died in 1959. Career Football career Kevin Adkisson played football at North Texas State University as a fullback, second string to Garry Smith, until an injury ended his football career and dream of playing in the National Football League. World Class Championship Wrestling Kevin started wrestling as Kevin Von Erich in 1976. He spent most of his career wrestling for his father's promotion, World Class Championship Wrestling. Kevin's natural athletic ability and good looks made him one of the promotion's biggest stars. He achieved great success in the company both as a singles and tag team wrestler, often participating in many of the company's high profile feuds. Kevin was also known for wrestling barefoot, highly unusual in a sport where almost all wrestlers wear high-topped boots. World Class announcers often jokingly referred to him as "The Barefoot Boy" on WCCW broadcasts. Kevin later admitted in an interview that he never set out to wrestle barefoot, but that before one of his matches someone hid his boots as a joke, and he wasn't able to find them before his match, so just went out barefoot to wrestle, and it later became his trademark.
