    Extractions: Andre the Giant was truly a one of a kind performer. Although his monolithic proportions were sometimes over-exagerated by promoters who billed him as standing 7'4, and later, 7'5, he was without a doubt the overall largest professional athlete ever to compete in any sport. But there was much more to this one of a kind performer than just his size, and he rose to previously unimagined levels of fame and mainstream notoriety. Although he passed away on Jan. 29,1993, his legacy and influence will be felt in this sport forever... Andre The Giant was born Andre Rousimoff in a small farming community in France on May 19, 1946. Over time, it became obvious that the young Andre was, to say the least, not like other children. Although born of "normal" sized parents, he reportedly reached 6`3 and weighed 200 lbs. by the time he was twelve. The "gentle giant" was the ultimate, unbeatable equalizer for regional fan favorites. Wrestling fans always knew in the back of their mind's that if things ever looked too bleak for the "good guys", that Andre could (and frequently did) come in and straighten the territory out with 1 or 2 matches. It was a winning formula for many promoters; when the top face had his hands too full with the local heels, Andre would be called in (to the delight of the fans) and Good would always prevail over Evil.

    Extractions: rotten Library Culture There are a lot of good reasons to refrain from calling professional wrestling "fake." For one thing, pro wrestlers routinely suffer the sort of grisly and painful injuries one generally associates with the Spanish Inquisition , which is definitely not fake. For another thing, it's highly unlikely that you, the reader, could even once do any of the stunts these guys do 52 weeks a year. And for yet another thing: If you call "pro wrestling" fake within earshot of a wrestler, you will probably get dropped on your head. All that said, pro wrestling is a "work" (one of many colorful and mega-hip "insider" wrestling terms which shall be employed liberally throughout this article). A "work" is a piece of entertainment disguised as a wrestling match, in which the outcome (and usually some elements within the match) have been predetermined by professional writers. There was a time when pro wrestling presented itself as "sports" rather than "sports entertainment." Wrestling as a spectator sport dates back to the homoerotic display of naked Spartans rolling around on the ground together in ancient times. Feats of strength and homoeroticism have a timeless quality, as the movies of Charlton Heston attest.

    Includes biography and photos.

    Extractions: A second generation wrestler , "the Macho Man" Randy Savage has one championship has worn more than five different championship belts. The son of Wrestling Hall of Famer Angelo Poffo and brother of "Leaping" Lanny Poffo, was at one time the most athletically gifted individuals in all of Professional Wrestling. This athleticism was demonstrated during several years spent as a professional baseball player on the minor league teams of the Cincinatti Reds, St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago White Sox, during which time he once finished third in the league in home runs and runs batted in. After wrestling alongside of and sometimes against his father and brother, Randy entered the World Wrestling Federation where he was courted by all of the top managers in the organization. He suprised everyone when he rejected their offers to sign on with an unknown, the Lovely Miss Elizabeth. In truth, Elizabeth was not only known to Randy, she was in fact his wife. Through her coaching and his talent he secured the WWF Intercontinental Championship by defeating Tito Santana for the belt in 1986.

    Extractions: Click the picture for pics, details, ordering and a demo video! Special Events acquired the entire catalogue of Law Matches from PM video in 2006. This was done to preserve the style and expert skill of pro wrestling exhibited by the wrestlers in the mid to late 90's. In a few years, fans won't be able to see wrestling like this, and although the PGWA started it all by featuring GrudgeMatches back in early 1992, Miss Priscilla followed in the PGWA footsteps featuring some excellent matches with some of the same girls that proved wrestling to be a 'sport' more than a 'show' that is often presented today. Special Events bought the rights to the collection and is looking forward to sharing the collection with wrestling fans. Of the many offers to buy this collection, Miss Priscilla acknowledged her confidence in Special Events to preserve the talent of the LAW collection for many years to come. LAW certainly has to be considered a part of wrestling history and preserved for fans to enjoy in the years to come.

    Highlights of his wrestling and movie careers, with photos.  
    http://www.wrestlingmuseum.com/pages/bios/halloffame/santobio.html
    
    Extractions: By Steve Slagle The tradition and history of pro wrestling in Mexico (known as lucha libre ) is rich and deep, with literally thousands of (masked) men thrilling crowds "south of the border" for nearly as long as their North American brethren have in the U.S. Throughout the twentieth century, the popularity and level of respect for pro wrestling in Mexico has often greatly exceeded the "mainstream" acceptance of the sport in America. However, of the many Luchadors that have enjoyed national celebrity status in Mexico, one man in particular transcended the sport in that nation. During his multi-decade career, he created a mystique (both in the ring, and via dozens of feature films) that elevated him in the eyes of his millions of fans to the level of a genuine Living Legend during his life, and near-Sainthood after his death. His skill and good character was so popular in the ring and on film that he influenced not only future Luchadors, but also the nation as a whole. That man was, of course, the one and only El Santo El Santo (The Saint) debuted in July of 1942, winning a 8-Man Battle Royal held in Mexico City. By this time, Huerta, far from being a rookie, was one of the most technically sound luchadors in Mexico. Furthermore, as El Santo, Huerta advanced the boundaries of what was done in the ring by creating his own spectacular moves many of which are now commonplace in modern pro wrestling. Imagine a wrestler regularly unveiling brand-new, never before executed moves such as the Flying Plancha only he was performing these "modern" moves over 40 years ago! That man was the silver-masked, noble hero El Santo...

    Offical Website of The Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame Inductee George The Animal Steele  
    http://www.georgetheanimalsteele.com/professional-wrestling.php
    
    Extractions: George started his wrestling career in 1962 wearing a mask and wrestling as The Student. The Student started his career being managed by Gary Hart. Overnight, The Student became a main event star in Burt’s local promotions. As The Student, (George) had the opportunity to learn his trade while wrestling with many of the top talents of the time, under the watchful eye of Burt Ruby. The Sheik came back to the Detroit area to wrestle in 1965. This gave The Student a chance to watch and learn from one of the greatest wild brawling super stars of all time. Bruno Sammartino, the WWF champion, and his entourage came to Detroit’s Cobo Hall for a big match with Bulldog Brower. The Student was spotted by Bruno’s entourage that night in Cobo Hall and was shortly invited to wrestle in Pittsburgh. They did not want a masked man in Pittsburgh so The Student became George Steele. George was in a couple of tag matches with the great Dr. Bill Miller. Steele and Miller tagged up against Bruno Sammartino and the Batman in main events. Soon it was George Steele vs. Bruno Sammartino for the WWF title. The Pittsburgh Civic Arena was rocking with packed crowds that just could not get enough of the wild brawls that Steele and Bruno were having.
