I only remember Freddy Blassie as a legend, one of those few who made it possible for people like Hulk Hogan and Randy Savage to have a career. He has been wheel-chair stricken for many years, and my fondest memory is of him rallying WWF troops (during the “InVasion” storyline) and standing tall.
I can only hope he is enjoying his time, teaching various religious figures headlocks and calling the PTBs “Pencil-Necked Geeks”.
Wow, that brings back memories! When I was young, our family gathered around and watched wrestling every saturday. I’m afraid that my brother still thinks it is real…
