Wow. That 'small gorilla & 7 colored boys' is even more astonishing than the main event. When it that from?

According to some people even more in thrall to wrestling minutae than me, the only time Golden Terror and Pat O'Hara wrestled in the same territory would have been 1951-1953.

Would you mind if I posted it to Freaky Trigger? It is extraordinary enough to deserve a wider audience!

Of course not Martin. Like I said, it was first discovered by RealInMemphis.co.uk, if you want to give credit.

eleven months pass...

Apparently Shelton Benjamin’s character will be heading in a new direction, with some help. WWE put out a casting call looking for someone to play, “Shelton Benjamin’s Mamma.” The woman needs to follow these requirements: Female. African American, 50-60 years old, heavy set, good personality, willing to travel and portray the character for 3-6 months.

If they drop the "female" requirement then they can repackage Viscera. We already know that he'd be happy to rape Randy Orton, and I'm sure a reciprocal arrangement could be arranged.
