How the Hell do you not even mention who you are talking about? 2:40 he finally says "Roddy" but not intentionally.

Piper's father was a police officer, with the Canadian National Rail Police....not a conductor.

Chavo was the star in LA; Mando wrestled quite a bit; but, also worked stunts, which is part of why he was the trainer for the pilot, for the original GLOW. He would come in and out and Chavo dabbled a little (he was in The One and Only, with Gene LeBell and Roddy Piper), Later, Mando did work with the AWA, when they were doing their ESPN tapings in Las Vegas, since it was close to LA. he also trained Magnificent Mimi Lessos, who worked AWA and indies, in the late 80s/early90s (and did some low budget movie stuff). Eddie was the baby and didn't get into the business until much later (1986) and he and Chavo Jr were closer to be contemporaries. Eddie also started out working in Mexico and spent the bulk of his time there and then in New Japan, before ECW. He did have a few undercard matches with WCW, including working with Terry Funk, on tv, as a jobber. Los Gringos Loco, in AAA, is where he really broke out, leading to semi-main eventing the When Worlds Collide PPV (Koanan vs Perro Aguayo was the main), ECW and his WCW run.
