Well, I was bored as hell in between classes today at college, and for some reason, I started day dreaming about 80s wrestling, and thought, "Now what the hell was Ludvig Borga's gimmick exactly? Or Brooklyn Brawler's apart from being a jobber?"
So I figured it wouldn't hurt to make a thread here, where basically you just post a superstar's name from the 70s, 80s, 90s, the promotion they worked for during the time of that gimmick, and then follow it up with their gimmick.
Example...
Hulk Hogan(WWF): An all American hero and powerhouse that the kids could look up too.
Also if you happen to know some sort of interesting, maybe obscure fact about that wrestler, then feel free to post it as a "Interesting or Fun Note" after their gimmick.
Razor Ramon(WWF): The WWF's play on Scarface, essentially a Cuban badass, who didn't take crap from anyone. Fun Note: Razor lost his 4th and final IC Championship to new up and coming, bizarre star, by the name of Goldust, in a feud that started because Goldust had a "huge crush" on Razor and stalked him for weeks, with gifts, flowers, and photos.
Also, you can post more than one, in fact as many as you want to...even if they're the same person, just different gimmicks throught his/her career...

Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake (WWF) -Came to the ring with barber shears and would cut the hair of his beaten opponents after putting them to sleep with the sleeperhold.
Fun note: Beefcake missed out on 2 shots at the Intercontinental Title at the Summerslam PPV. Once because of a storyline injury (1988) and once to a real life parasailing injury (1990). Both of his replacements would go on to win the title in those matches.

Was it ever revealed how Ted Dibiase made all of his "millions"?
...like, was the there a source of income aside from wrestling? Since I believe he debuted as the Million Dollar man in WWF. So unless he got a massive up front guarentee from WWF, he had to have made it some other way....
