Yup, I guess the local racing season really is over now, isn't it?

[LongIslandJam]

I'm trying to figure out how this has to do with racing, as I'm confused... But if you guys want to talk about non-racing related off season fun, go ahead... I'll make a new forum for that if you want...

[broz]

You're absolutelty right JA, nothing to do with racing. I think by looking at who has responded to this point, that it is at least worthy of being re-posted in another category.
Some of us were just trying to feel young again.
Now I do recall Paul "The Big Show/Giant" Wight be in "Stacker 2" commercials with Kenney Wallace. So does that count toward being "racing-related"?

[BBWIFE]

What about Brutus "the Barber" Beefcake.....The Junkyard Dog.....Rowdy Roddy Piper...Rick Flair (was he mentioned?) The Road Warriors..Jerry "the King" Lawler and my all time favorite Jake "the Snake" Roberts!

Ok so when I was younger I watched a little wrestling......

[Bad Guy]

How about the champ Antonino Rocca

[Jones44]

You want a connection? When Bob "Hardcore" Holly first broke into what was then the World Wrestling Federation, he competed as "Sparky Plugg", an aspiring stock car driver-turned pro wrestler. There was wrestling at Riverhead Raceway (as in "real" wrestlers with a ring put out on the track) way back when. Vinny, you can't mention Ms. Elizabeth without mentioning Lex Luger (aka The Narcissist/Lex Express). How about "Classy" Freddy Blassie, the original "Nature Boy" Buddy Rogers, Pat Patterson, "Superstar" Billy Graham, "The American Dream" Dusty Rhodes....

[LongIslandJam]

Yes, wrestling does have a Riverhead connection... (and you thought it was only because it seems like a WWE event sometimes)...

One prime example is Mick Foley, aka Mankind, Cactus Jack, Dude Love, etc.

Mick wrestled at Riverhead and met his wife at the track. I read his auto-biography and he kept wrestling this racer Dombrowski... Eddie Dombrowski... Whoever this is....
