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.
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.
