Gorgeous George


I would be remiss if I didnt mention that yesterday March 24th was the birthday of the late great legend of wrestling Gorgeous George Wagner. He paved the trail for the modern day wrestler on tv with his gimmick that had never been seen before. It is said he sold more television sets than Milton Berle with people just wanting to see the strange man get his tail whipped every week.
The WWE will finally acknowledge its godfather by inducting George into the WWE Hall of Fame this weekend at Wrestlemania 26.
