when i was a shortie, i loved watching wrestling. not the kind of wrestling where you put each other in funny homosexual - type holds but the type of wrestling where you watch guys pumped full of steroids do fake moves, battle each other in fake feuds while you listen to entrance music synonymous with that wrestler. my only issue was that there were not enough black wrestlers. especially in the wwf. this guy, though the junkyard dog was one of them. even though his gimmick was kind of racist - he had a chain around his neck, his head was the hardest part of his body and the fact that he was a junkyard dog, j.y.d. was my guy because at one point he was the only guy that looked like me. j.y.d. would die tragically of an automobile accident some years ago but he will always be in my heart. r.i.p. j.y.d.

I remember him. also the ultimate warrior with tattered rainbow wristbands or something. what was the hillbilly's name with the lumber? jake the snake was a chip'n'dales for kids.
that's messed up about the chains.
The guy with the lumber was Hacksaw Jim Duggan. Don't forget Tony Atlas!!!!!!!!
Yeah, Hacksaw JIM Duggan (snarl, eyebrow raised, eye popping out like he was hit on the head too many times in a hillybilly showdown). I can still see Jake the Snake's hips whirling around with his arms behind his head.
No, wait. maybe that was someone else, rick love? I can't remember. all I remember were those hips.
oh.. you took me back.. junk yard dog.. paving the way for dwayne johnson aka 'the rock'! RIP JYD.

Can we give a shout out to the Von Eriks? Aren't they all dead and gone by way of some tragic accident? ......My man Randy "The Macho Man" Savage and his brother, Leaping Lanny Poffo (with the poems and frisbies).
