    No longer will he have to take guff from the Jabronis.

    He's smoking crack in Heaven now.

    “Irrrran, #1, Rrrrussia, #1, U.S.A (spit). “ Man, that really got the ‘Merica crowd going back in the day. WWF had no problem stoking ethnic flames back then. He and Piper were the best heels in the early 80’s.

    No, but a doc about him a decade ago featured footage of him smoking crack. He had an addictive personality!

    He was part of that pack of wrestlers from the 80's that seemed to be everywhere including The Goonies - Good Enough music vid. Geeze I'm dating myself now...

    He was great on Stern. “I eff you in the a$$”.
    I always liked the heels. Never liked the “heroes” like Hogan. I stopped watching by wrestle mania 3.
    Captain Lou and Cindy Lauper had an odd relationship. What was with that rubber band?
