The Sheep-Herders were once a formidable & dangerous tag team in whatever territory they entered...
The Bush-Whackers became a fucking clown show when they decided to sell their dignity to Vince Jr

The WWF debut of Jimmy Snuka in 1982. You can hear @captain stone at about the 1:30 mark yelling, "Get a haircut, ya bum, ya," at Snuka.
Then the final 5 minutes of the Backlund/Snuka cage match at MSG. They had to turn Snuka face after that leap from the cage!

I was still in the Marines during this time; so... Did his face turn happen before or after he murdered a woman?
I believe after.
“Welfare fraud is incredibly easy.”
The “Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase once proclaimed that “everybody’s got a price.” Now, that line echoes through federal courtrooms as his family name becomes entwined with Mississippi’s largest public welfare fraud case, a $77 million scheme tied to funds meant for the poorest families in America.
His son, Ted DiBiase Jr., a former WWE World Tag Team Champion, stands trial on 13 federal counts right now. His brother Brett’s luxury Malibu rehab was allegedly funded with fabricated invoices and welfare money. And now, Ted DiBiase Sr. himself is fighting back, filing a defamation countersuit as civil and federal cases unfold simultaneously.
The scandal stretches far beyond wrestling. NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre. A volleyball stadium. Fabricated invoices masking personal payments. And a government official who orchestrated the entire operation before receiving a 32-year prison sentence.
The complete story of how $77 million disappeared through fake contracts, who benefited, and what prosecutors are revealing in court right now is far more complex than headlines reveal.

The graveside of Big John Studd — a true giant in every sense of the word. Pictured there are his son Sean, Sean’s wife, and their young child — Big John Studd’s grandchild — paying tribute to a man whose impact stretched far beyond the ring.
Born John William Minton in 1948, Big John Studd trained under the legendary Killer Kowalski and became one of the most recognizable stars of the 1970s and 1980s. Fans remember him for his unforgettable rivalries — none bigger than his epic battles with André the Giant. He went toe-to-toe with André in the famous Body Slam Challenge at WrestleMania I, later returned to the ring as a fan favorite, and cemented his name in history by winning the 1989 Royal Rumble.
Studd held championships in multiple territories, starred on the national stage with the WWF, and earned a place in the WWE Hall of Fame in 2004. But those who knew him best say his greatest strength wasn’t just his size or the matches he fought — it was his kindness, humility, and respect for the business and the people in it.
Though his life was cut short in 1995 after a battle with cancer, the respect he earned still lives on nearly three decades later.
Carrying the Torch: Sean “Big Sean Studd”
Among his children is Sean Minton, known to wrestling fans as Sean Studd. Sean has stepped into the business his father loved, forging his own path while honoring the Studd name. Over the years, he’s competed across the country, captured titles, and carried the same quiet determination his father was known for.
It’s never easy living up to a name so deeply etched in wrestling history, but Sean represents the next chapter of the Studd legacy — one built not just on size and power, but on love for the sport and the man who paved the way.
This visit to Big John Studd’s resting place is a reminder that wrestling legacies aren’t just about titles or famous matches — they’re about family, memory, and the bonds that keep a name alive long after the final bell.
Rest peacefully, Big John Studd. Your legacy lives on.
