    Muraco was my guy. He was one of my favorites in the 80s, and still is.

    Don Muraco was definitely The man back then. The first and Real THE ROCK. I got a chance to meet him in a bar in Baltimore and my brother was outside and he was the biggest Don Muraco fan that has ever been. I went in the bar and told him about my brother and he walked outside and met my brother and took pictures with my brother and that was about almost 30 years ago and my brother still tells everyone about the night he met Don Muraco and I am so happy he made my brothers day. Thanks Rock. Peace

    I go back to them every once in a while as a reminder to get the most out of my life and not succumb to whining and making excuses.
    Rest in Peace. There will never be another quite like The Warrior!

      No, my friend, it's not just your opinion. I fully agree with you-Don Muraco has been, by far, one of the most over-looked Wrestlers ever! When we look back at what he's contributed to Wrestling, it's an absolute embarrassment to Wrestling, to overlook somebody of his Caliber!

      Was he really from Hawaii? If so, is it possible that hurt him somehow...maybe having to go back and forth for family or whatever. It's so far out from easter wrestling hubs, it's like being in Egypt (mileage-wise).

      Muraco was shit on the mic though; and that makes or breaks a wrestler.
      Like Piper said on Muraco's pit (or whatever it was) "well for one thing, I DON'T STUTTER like you!"
      Piper and Hogan OWNED the mic, it's why they were the leaders of the pack, while Muraco didn't even get a spot in Piper's group on the cartoon "Rock&Wrestling."
