Killer Kowalski

"In a 1952 match in Montreal versus Yukon Eric, Kowalski ripped off a part of Yukon Eric's ear while performing a knee drop.[1] In reality, Eric's ears were already badly cauliflowered due to years of abuse and the injury was an accident, but it fortified Kowalski as being a ruthless villain who ripped his opponent's ear off."

"The 6'7", nearly 300-pound wrecking machine stood heads above his competition, literally, and was feared as one of the meanest, most vicious and unrelenting villains the sport had ever known. Wladek "Killer" Kowalski's catchy moniker was known throughout the country soon after he made his way into the sport in the years after World War II, and he quickly became one of "TV wrestling's" (as it was sometimes called) biggest attractions."

All the people talking about how famous wrestlers were back in the day when people thought they were actual kicking the crap out of each other for real made me remember this guy. The classic evil heel, Kowalski had a 30 year career in which he feuded with the likes of Sammartino and Buddy Rogers. Great nickname, great longevity, and a violent old-school hardcore style that I think will work in well with the rest of my stable.

THE DISCO INFERNO!!!

A reach? For sure, but the last round is coming up which means people will be taking "joke" picks and I'm down near the bottom of that round so I wanted to make sure I got my favorite semi-jobber of all time.

I say semi-jobber, because he actually got a decent mid-card push in WCW's heydey. I mean sure his title wins involved a feud about dancing and him ducking fighting a woman but he held gold baby.

I remember him as being pretty decent in the ring, as he would go against all the crazy luchadores in WCW and looked like he could keep up with them. On the mic and with his general mannerisms, the dude is hilarious. The angle where he tried to join the NWO was so awesome.

The sounds off on this but it's still pretty awesome: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4EPbNWxtXA

Seriously though, the guy got a reaction from the crowd when his music hit and everyone started getting down. He got stuck with just about the worst gimmick ever and made it work. Look at the pop he gets for winning a belt here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toBQP...dex=47#t=8m52s
Hell he gets huge pops throughout that match.

Since my Bushwhackers plan got wiped, for the time being, he'll be my comedy relief and work as a jobber-to-the-stars kinda role. Watching him take a beating is just as fun as rocking out to his theme music.
Check him out taking the hardest chops ever from Scott Hall here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxDRGUjS7iQ

Finally, he's been convicted for running an illegal poker game in his basement, so I feel like that should get him some 2+2 love.
