Love this dude. His stories make me think of the Cinderella Man movie when the crowds in the back seats start rushing ringside. An OG People's Champ

"Ignorants!" "You don't mess with the Sweet Man!" "The Diamond ring and Cadillac man!"

[@57highland]

I remember seeing Sputnik in his later career, in the early 1970's, when he appeared with whatever body of wrestling featured Johnny Powers, Dick Bulldog Brower, Hans Schmidt, and all those guys. His spiel used to include "I'm a diamond and Cadillac man!" during which he would get all riled and mess up his hair as he was ranting. Unfortunately, he must have retired about that time, because I remember his appearing in only one bout during that time.

Bobo and Ernie opened the door but Sputnik Monroe killed the crow.

[@yardlet6]

He brought the bruthas and sistas into Ellis Auditorium.

[@tyty274]

Hummm, well, Ric, did you bite your gimmick from Mr. Monroe? Just asking. LOL.

[@jerryblair61]

He brought the blacks and whites together at the Eillis Auditorium .He wouldn't wrestle he made it happen.

The Blonde Bombers that Lance Russell speaks of are of course Wayne "The Honky Tonk Man" Farris and the late great "Moondog" Randy Colley expertly guided by then "Sergeant" Danny Davis. A Memphis Pro Wrestling travelogue in only a few syllables.🤔😂🎤👍🎼🚘💎💸🤼‍♂️B.W.

The Moondog was Larry Latham

Jim Cornette has some great stories about him.....

[@tonyleblanc7302]

It’s not that Corny has some great stories about Sputnik...... It’s that Sputnik had some great stories to give Corny.

[@Dougdenslowe714]

@Tony Lebla,since I posted this 5 years ago, I’m not sure what Corny has to do with this.Thanks for the reply,nonetheless.

[@tonyleblanc7302]

@@Dougdenslowe714 Corny is Cornette. He’s literally the subject of your comment.

[@Dougdenslowe714]

@@tonyleblanc7302 yes, I’m aware of that.But after viewing the video, it didn’t seem to shed any light on the matter.JC is my favorite podcaster among other things, but this clip didn’t ring any bells!

They bring in a diamond ring and Cadillac man to do a Model T job.
