Where do kids these days beg their parents to take them?

I saw Hacksaw Butch Reed defeat Kamala The Ugandan Warrior and The Great Kabuki spit green flame into the eyes of Ice Man King Parsons and render him blind for 30 seconds. The 80's was the shite!

Ditto for the Monroe Civic Center. A very young Bard threw his gum at the hated Kamala and when it hit his chest, the young Bard hid behind his friend when Kamala looked to see who threw it.

Watched JYD & Mr. Olympia in a tag match.

Watched "Iron" Mike Sharpe get into a shouting match with an old, fat lady on the front row. When she got up, turned around and shook her enormous arse at him he struggled to keep his heel face.

Good times.

In Lafayette, before Blackham, it was at a small arena call the "Entertainment Center" just off University Ave on the north side of where the now BNSF RR tracks cross.

Sugar Bear was a good athlete. Would've been a good OT. His dad didn't realize the gold mine he had. Rather drink gin & shoot dice. And die, leaving his family poor.

Driving around to catch invisible magical creatures.

Unfortunately, no LSD is involved.

They did tv taping on Wednesday at Irish McNeil's in Shreveport. Met Iceman once at a convenience store. He was pissed at Dutch mantell and showed us Dutch's whip he took from him. Said he kicked his arse for real in the ring.
