Do you remember him? I’ve never been a real big wrasslin’ fan but as a kid, growing up in Roanoke, I remember seeing some of the older big names, and I knew who was who. One of the names I definitely remember is Jimmy Valiant. Turns out he now runs a wrestling camp in Shawsville, VA, which is just down the road a piece from Roanoke. Amazingly, Valiant just retired from professional wrestling two weeks ago. I had no idea he was still out there. I came across this interesting flash presentation from the Roanoke Times, maybe you’ll enjoy it, as well.
Brings back more memories than I realized I had. Back when wrestling was more of a redneck family entertainment deal than the semi-porn soap opera mess it seems to be these days.
