Shoot. I am just posting in this because the guy deserves more than a 1 post thread. He was more entertaining than half the guys on the current roster.

Always thought he was older than that judging by his look in the 80's.

Had worse luck with arm injuries than Cowboy Bob Orton.

I remember Iron Mike Sharpe in his pre-jobber days and prefer to think of him that way. He was managed by Captain Lou Albano in the WWF in 1983 and was therefore possibly headed for a feud with Jimmy Snuka. But, I don't think anything ever developed there.

Here's a good Piper's Pit with Sharpe:

From Wikipedia:

Quote:

Sharpe is described in at least three books by former wrestling personalities; Dynamite Kid, Hulk Hogan and Gary Michael Cappetta, and by longtime WWF wrestler/commentator Gorilla Monsoon, as having shown characteristics of obsessive-compulsive disorder, as evidenced by a preoccupation with cleanliness that caused him to spend hours washing his hands or showering at arenas and meticulously folding and re-folding his clothing. According to Cappetta, Sharpe's behavior earned him the nickname "Mr. Clean" among his co-workers. At a televised house show in the Boston Garden in March 1986, Monsoon even joked to fellow commentator Lord Alfred Hayes that Sharpe had the first match of the night at a previous Boston show, and was still in the showers when they locked up later that night forcing him to spend the night in the arena.

There was a reference of MST3K level-quality to Iron Mike Sharpe on USA's under-rated buddy comedy show Psych that I actually remember:

Shawn: “Would you ask Iron Mike Sharpe why he felt the need to shower for more than 90 minutes after wrestling for less than ten?”
