My high school Facebook page was just talking about music from our youth. I have in my possession a recording from 1980 or so of the Dick The Bruiser Band live at Hart Plaza. Somewhere, I still have my D.R.E.A.D card. Detroit Rockers Engaged in the Abolition of Disco. (don’t tell anyone, I like disco)
When The Ghoul passed away a few years ago the Redford Theatre (historic venue in Old Redford) had a showing of The Ghoul show as it was shown live back in the day. The movie was 1973 Psychomania.The one where the bikers worshiped the devil in the form of a frog. The theater was sold out. It was awesome and sad.
Hiya gang, hiya, hiya, hiya…
I also remember Dick The Bruiser the wrestler, seen him wrestle a few times at Cobo Arena. I loved growing up in Detroit.
But he also sued Ford (claiming that the Bronco he was drunk driving in was unsafe) and received a $1 million settlement. Ford probably would have won had it gone to court but they didn’t want the PR.
Edit to add: man, the guy sued the hospital and the individual doctors who treated him as well. This guy was not about taking personal responsibility.
One has to wonder if he has ever competed at the highest international levels in anything significant and knowing a billion people are watching everything you do and say and survived sexual molestation as a child by people he trusted along the way?
Until he has al this under his belt, I think he should keep his mouth shut about her strengths or weaknesses and decisions.
People like this used to be limited to late might AM radio and an audience of fifty seven nut cases and assorted drunks who thought they were calling a late night pizza take out place…
Now, anyone can expose themselves to a far wider audience.
He was a crooked jock, too. He’d hold back horses who could’ve handily won races. [ETA:] There are pics of him riding races in which he’s rating them so hard the horses’ noses are practically touching their chests.
This is so much better that talking about the useless scumbag attacking the GOAT for knowing when she needed to stop competing. The look on her face when she landed that last vault was terror.
