Buddy Rose

Wells had been active in the Canadian Football League.

He was in one of the most famous matches in Portland wrestling history, the Roddy Piper, Killer Brooks, Buddy Rose, Ed Whiskowski on one team, and they wrestled Ron Starr, Adrian Adonis, Hector Guerrero, and George Wells.

Wells had wins here in the Northwest over Bobby Kincaid, Johnny Boyd, Hector Guerrero, Johnny Eagles.

He stayed here three months, and then he took a month or so off, and then he started making appearances in the Los Angeles area.

[laughs]

And then finally, Beauregard comes in, and that's the one thing that the Northwest had been waiting for forever, and especially to see he and Lonnie, uh, be matched up.

We've talked a little bit about Beauregard, and when I look at the booking when Beauregard first came in, it just compares to Buddy Rose so much, the same scenarios.

Beauregard came in and eventually broke up Lonnie Mayne and Tony Borne and joined up with Lonnie Mayne, and they formed a very, very good tag team.

which 26 minutes before Kurt was DQ'd by the referee, who was Billy Robinson, told it was a very good match with lots of near falls.

Best match on the card was the non-title cage match, which the Midnight Rockers, Shawn Michaels, Marty Jannetty, beat Buddy Rose and Doug Summers, everyone but Buddy Rose bled, in a definite four-star match.

I'll be getting a tape of this card, so may comment more on it next week.

Um...

It's like-

Like Playboy Buddy Rose, it's like, no, he wasn't picking up chicks.

He weighed, like, 305 pounds.

[laughs] Come on, stop it.

He was a good athlete.

A lot of people don't realize that as big as he was, he could move around, almost like Buddy Rose was.

But had a lot of charisma.

I, always respect the sport.

Moretti, light as can be.

Just, you know, Lynn, light like a feather.

But when you start working people, you know, Buddy Rose, light as a feather.

But some guys, when you lock up with 'em, you'll know which way you have to work then.

... over to Japan for a appearance on the New Japan Big Fight series.

He arrives on day 16 of said tour, May 11th to be precise, of 1982, where Saji Sakaguchi, Tatsumi Fujinami, and Kengo Kimura defeat the three-man team of Hulk Hogan, Buddy Rose, and Perro Aguayo.

There is a trio you'd never think you'd see.

Wow.

That was fucking wacky.

So bizarre, who New Japan decided to pair him with.

Um, but the Buddy Rose thing, we're actually gonna get eyes on that because the next night, on May the 12th, 1982, um, in Naha, Okinawa, Hogan and Buddy Rose team up to face Yoshiaki Yatsu and Tatsumi Fujinami and get the victory in 12 minutes and 59 seconds.

Here we go.

So he's going to be jumping into LJ ends as well.

And he's got Orient express on the way and buddy Rose that, I mean, that all fits in

my hard cutoff for LJ is LJ.

was 1990 but then they came out like because technically even the warlord they came out okay i could justify that summer 90 right after wrestlemania 6 but then they came out with that macho man like that quintessential 1992 wrestlemania 8 promo shot macho man oh screw rules man rules are for anyway i No rules, man.

how

is it for them like if I see them at WrestleCon and like you know hey buddy you got my thousand dollars he probably called security on me or something like you know like

they're like oh good not again yeah yeah yeah yeah there's a lot of people standing there with their pitchforks ready to stick them dude because that's just it's highway robbery what they did it's such a scam you make good on the first couple things and then you collect on all of your future promises and deliver on none of it and that's exactly what powertown did they put two figureheads and greg gagne greg gagne and magnum ta to basically take all of the heat because there are no names no faces while this Rosenthal dude just kind of hides in the weeds as the money guy or whoever he is buying licenses like Bigfoot and the Hasbro logo or whatever the hell dude you took money that needed to go into making and finishing your promised product And we're getting these, oh, we have the Bigfoot and the Hasbro picture license? What the hell is that? I want my figures.

I
