Sad indeed. He and Tony Guerrera were my favorite tag team.

When the Golden Age of Wrestling was Gorgeous George, this was the Silver Age with Saturday afternoon WWF wrestling. These were the days when McMahon interviewed the likes of the Grand Wizard of Wrestling, the Fiendish Mr Fuji, Haystack Calhoun, and Classy Freddie Blassie.

RIP Chief Strongbow

Lizard		2012-04-04 09:42:03 AM

One of the greats!

Serpoltas		2012-04-04 09:58:18 AM

RIP Tatanka

Fizpez		2012-04-04 09:59:33 AM

As long ago as it was I can still remember him - and he must have been in his 50's and still doing that stuff.

UNC_Samurai		2012-04-04 10:14:13 AM

It is now to Tatanka to lead the tribe to the Intercontinental Belt!

machoprogrammer		2012-04-04 10:15:23 AM

BAH GAWD KING!

It's a tragedy good wrestlers die so young. Must've been steroid related...

verbaltoxin		2012-04-04 10:20:08 AM

He was one of the tag team greats back when that really meant something. RIP Chief.

lunchinlewis		2012-04-04 10:21:23 AM

I remember when Valentine broke his leg.

ZMugg		2012-04-04 10:23:23 AM

He was an Italian named Joe Scarpa and he used to joke that he was a member of the "Wop-a-ho" tribe.

Him and Bruno Sammartino were my favorites.

Older than dirt.

Did you hear about Chief Jay Strongbow's last match?

He lost to The Undertaker.

Bobby_and_The_Gorilla		2012-04-04 10:34:54 AM

"Chief Jay Strongbow Brain, may he rest in peace."

"Gone to that big Indian Casino in the sky, Monsoon."

"Hunting Grounds, Brain, they're called Hunting Grounds."

He spent decades in pro wrestling, and apparently hated every minute of it. (new window)

Heenan hate him. In his shoot he said he was a backstabber. He was a bitter asshole. And he shouldn't even complain about the drives, most of them were in the northeast, close together. He retired by the time they went National. He only did a short run in the NWA.

/Actually didn't get this gimmick until he was in his 40's, a time when most wrestlers are hanging them up.

// son worked as a break dancing jobber in the late 80s, Mark Young (had to be a rib with that name)

Gunderson		2012-04-04 10:52:02 AM

RIP. Those Atlanta Braves home games won't be the same without you, Chief.

I stop partaking in my tasty beverage each time I see your name. I hate spitting Mr. Pibb all over my monitor after reading your contributions to Fark. Bravo.

I can see I'm not needed here.

Sad news. Wrong tab though.

Gunny Highway		2012-04-04 12:56:10 PM

I really need to find my pictures from the Pro Wrestling HOF.

i used to like him and wahoo mcdaniel. didn't they team together for a while at one point?

/don't care enough to google.

Smiths		2012-04-04 01:36:39 PM

my headline was better and more timely but the wrestling-enjoying mod was off sucking dicks for coke.

Hmm...I don't think so. Jay Strongbow Jr did team with Wahoo for a while. Bonus: he actually WAS the son of Jay Strongbow.

/anybody else know?

Or over on the Entertainment tab where he belongs.

take it up with the mods. we've tried to put these things on that tab. they green the ones that are tagged as "Sports". after a bit you just start submitting it with "sports" as the topic.

And this combined with yesterdays Randy Orton comment puts you on the favorite list...i wish I could just get a best of those two DVD, and some of the best of Jesse and Vince. CM Punk did an amazing job when he blew out his ass muscle a while back.

CigaretteSmokingMan		2012-04-04 04:53:46 PM

Good night funny man.

skinink		2012-04-04 06:20:36 PM

Sad. But Ivan Putski is my favorite wrestler from that era. And wrestling can have nothing on TV like they had with George "The Animal" Steel. One match when he started biting some guy's face off, instead of showing it all of a sudden a big X covered the action on the screen while the announcers went crazy over what was happening. Now that was wrestling, and it was real to me dammit!

Ima10urin8		2012-04-04 07:39:58 PM

the Indian strap match!

FirstNationalBastard		2012-04-04 08:57:16 PM

The House of Humperdink finally decided to do something about what they called the "Indian Problem" in Mid-Atlantic.

MrFisher_84		2012-04-04 11:16:02 PM

Before my time, RIP man.

Wahoo McDaniel>Chief Jay Strongbow

I remember when they redid that storyline with Tatanka (Buffalo) and Bam Bam Bigalow in the 90's.

I remember the tag team matches with him (can't remember his partner) against the Executioners and Captain Lou Albano. One one time Captain Lou hid a third Executioner under the ring.

TheManofPA		2012-04-06 09:07:49 PM

I have smackdown on.....YES YES YES YES YES YES YES
SI SI SI SI SI SI SI

BAH GAWD DC, you better carry this over and get a Daniel Bryan face cheer

TheManofPA		2012-04-06 09:10:52 PM

Dammit Vince, you really don't won't Christian or Daniel Bryan do succeed to you. If DC cheers DB, Vince is going to have him kill Mae Young live. THIS IS WHY YOU CAN"T GET RATINGS, YOU ARE KILLING YOUR BEST IDEAS!

TheManofPA		2012-04-06 09:16:49 PM

Ok, after all that....the crowd is booing AJ.

You DC lurkers better save the day. That's it on my end, I just wanted to see if they would pipe down the crowd noise (they did, you could see people yelling YES but barely hear it) and see if they would add an extra track of boos (can't tell). However, there were enough YES! and Daniel Bryan chants that there is still hope.

DC, be ready for Daniel Brayn to be escorted to the ring by Daniel Snyder.

Also, I'm submitting only "YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES" as my headline and if it doesn't win, FOR SHAME
