Funny story about Brian Knobs: my husband use to work security in a bar in downtown St. Petersburg, FL. Knobs came to the bar (already drunk off his ass) and refuses to pay the $5 cover, playing the "Don't you know who I am?!" card. Everyone who worked the bar scene back then knew about Knobs and were quietly trying to blacklist him from the bars there. Dude spit on my hubby and started just being an overall ass. Another guy, about 21-25 years old, with dreadlocks came out to help the situation and get Knobs off the property. Knobs grabs this kids dreadlocks and pulled on them while calling him N word. Dreads leaned back and cold cocked him. TKO on the sidewalk. Police where called and they took Knobs away. Knobs tried to sue, but the owner installed cameras outside, which caught everything. Not sure about legal matters, but Knobs was banned from the place afterwards. Story has been verfied by my husband and the two bartenders/owners at the time.

I read about it yesterday morning. It caught me off guard, to be honest. The first thing I did was watch him sing Tutti Frutti at the Slammys in 1986. That managed to put a smile on my face, because he was such a good entertainer. Plus, he was able to mesh in well with anyone, and that never changed throughout his life. There was a soul behind each of his interviews that I feel is lacking now. It starts at the presentation, and "Mean" Gene Okerlund was a great example of it being done right. Here's to one of the best names in wrestling history. On the count of three, let's take a moment and yell "TUTTI FRUTTI" in memory of him. Okay, one, two, THREE....TUTTI FRUTTI!

Brian! Fun little factoid: the maker of Hogan's CCW belt was Wildcat Belts, the same maker of YOUR KZbin Championship! Btw, according to WC's pricing model at the time, the belt ran about $500-600 in its cost since he was still running on brass plates and not yet running on zinc ones.

Fun fact about Jimmy Hart: he was a member of the 1960s band The Gentrys, who had the #4 hit "Keep On Dancing" in 1965, and this was number 4 where two of the songs ahead of them were "Yesterday" by the Beatles and "Get Off Of My Cloud" by the Rolling Stones--two bands who, at this time, could have written ANYTHING and it would have been a Top 10 hit. He also wrote the lyrics for many of the wrestlers' themes...
