They were script. And now the best gimmick in the world would be for the WWE to come up with a pair dressed exactly the same in black as the return of the executioners for vengeance for a title that they were stripped of and never lost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392009749537405042.post-61038331558697085702022-06-03T14:36:05.576-04:002022-06-03T14:36:05.576-04:00It's interesting to me as a wrestling fan that...It's interesting to me as a wrestling fan that when Tyler & Graham "won" the WWWF World Tag Team championship, they supposedly beat The Bruiser and The Sheik, which is strange because at that time (1971) Bruiser & Sheik both ran their own promotions and wouldn't have been likely to enter a tourney to put over two wrestlers who wouldn't have even worked for them. Logically then, this would indicate that the tournament never actually occurred and was likely created as fictional backstory for putting the belts on Tyler & Graham.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8392009749537405042.post-5290229666400307052017-04-10T21:34:59.397-04:002017-04-10T21:34:59.397-04:00Thank you for the kinds words.

That's really what I shoot for with my blog is being unique and original. <br /><br />When I started this post I had no recollection of his managing Valentine and Muraco. Michael J.

I hadn’t the slightest idea that Captain Lou managed so many different champions. I mean, just scrolling through the pictures you see so many Hall of Famers it’s incredible! <br /><br />Being thirty-three, I’ve seen a heck of a lot more of Bobby Hennan, Jim Cornette, and Paul Heyman than I’ve ever saw of Lou Albano. And despite my love for all of those guys, I think it’s hard to argue with the pedigree of champions that Lou managed. He may not be the most entertaining or best manager ever, but his resume is incredible and something I doubt I ever would have seen outside of your blog.
