Nash the Slash

Regular followers of our website know that one of our regular themes is challenging just what the actual definition of Rock and Roll is.  It is one thing for us to discuss this topic, but quite the other to actually do it.  Recently, we had the pleasure of interviewing Nash the Slash, who despite eschewing conventional Rock wisdom managed to become an International star.

Interview with Mick Foley

Recently I had the pleasure of having a brief chat with Mick Foley, a man who is held in high regard among wrestling fans worldwide.    Foley achieved his greatest success in the ring for World Wrestling Entertainment as “Mankind” where he would hold their World Heavyweight Championship on three occasions and was one of the top draws during the “Monday Night Wars”.  This was a period in which the wrestling business was booming and routinely generated television ratings that were the envy of other cable programming.  Although this was the period of his greatest television exposure, Mick Foley was a star to many wrestling fans long before that.

Rick Martel

Like so many, I started watching Professional Wrestling in 1984.  At that time Vince McMahon was deep in the process of taking his company National, and turning both the World Wrestling Federation and his biggest star, Hulk Hogan into household names.  As I fell in love with the pageantry and spectacle of the industry I wanted to learn as much of it as I could.","Like so many, I started watching Professional Wrestling in 1984.  At that time Vince McMahon was deep in the process of taking his company National, and turning both the World Wrestling Federation and his biggest star, Hulk Hogan into household names.  As I fell in love with the pageantry and spectacle of the industry I wanted to learn as much of it as I could.  Back then, the easiest way to do that was by magazines, specifically the Pro Wrestling Illustrated series.  It was there I learned about the competition to the WWF, specifically the National Wrestling Alliance and the American Wrestling Association.  This allowed me to learn of names like Harley Race, Ric Flair, The Road Warriors and the man who was the AWA World Champion at that time, Rick Martel.  Little did I know that over twenty five years later I would have the chance to interview the man who would become the man who transformed himself into “The Model”, one of the top villains of the late 80’s and early 90’s for the WWF.

Former AWA World Heavyweight Champion, Larry Zbyszko will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as announced today.

Zbyszko was a former WWF Tag Team Champion in the late 70’s, but it was a heel turn on his mentor, Bruno Sammartino that catapulted Zbyszko to the main event.  The feud would culminate in a steel cage match at Shea Stadium, where they would place over 30,000 people to the facility.

Zbyszko would leave the WWF and become a mainstay in the Minnesota based American Wrestling Association where he would become their Heavyweight Champion, and would in fact be their last champion.  He would later go to WCW and become a Tag Team Champion there, and would become a successful broadcaster for the company.

Like the earlier announcement of Alundra Blayze to the Hall of Fame, this one was not expected as of a few years ago, as Zbyszko has been adamant for years about his hatred toward the WWE and to Vince McMahon in general.  Last year, “The Living Legend” signed a legends deal with the WWE, indicating that fences had been mended, and once again in the WWE, hell froze over.

Never say never, right Vince?
