I didn’t grow up watching Wahoo but from what I hear about him he was as legit as anyone to ever step into a wrestling ring. From all the stories I heard about him he was a total badass who nobody messed with he also had a good reputation in the locker room among the other wrestlers and was well respected. I wish I had the opportunity to grow up watching him because I would have definitely been a fan of his.
From a Wahoo interview "They followed me in a car to make sure I didn't stop. It was brutal. Finally, I reached the top of a hill, and below there was Chickasha. Thirty-six miles in exactly six hours. I collected $185 for that."
Bobby is right, wahoo would've elevated divisibility of the title at a time that pro wrestling in general was foundering. Briscoe versus wahoo, Oklahoma, versus Oklahoma State, Choctaw, versus Chickasaw, football versus wrestling. They missed that because they were scared of Wahoo
Like flair said, wahoo used to be pro football star and the stadium would chant yahoo wahoo, got traded for Joe Namath because only one super star per team was allowed, he found out while drinking with Micky mantle one day his manager called him in New York. He was always famous and a man's man
Life is so goddamn cruel to take the voice and then the life of a man so colorful and happy as The Brain.
Met him several times....MANS MAN👍 These punks today couldn’t tie his shoes

Wahoo should have been NWA world champion he was a man in the ring he drew alot of people in the mid Atlantic region
Wahoo was a Legit Badass & Looked Out for the Boys

Wahoo was my childhood favorite. And the Brain was hilarious as a heel commenter
Just the best.
Wahoo was one of my all time favorites.

Two treasures of the industry.
Shouldve had a world title run- 100%
RIP chief 💚💚
Ric Flair has a hang up with Wahoo. Always bringing him up in interviews. I never saw the appeal with Wahoo.
We miss you Brain
Damn Bobby was and is the best and corny too. I can sit and listen to these guys all day long
I got to see Wahoo vs Slaughter for the US title live in 1982
Wahoo werestled when real men were wrestlers not these male cheerleaders we got today!!!
