WCWF Roster

Wrestlers, tag teams, stables, managers/valets, and other on-screen personalities of the past and present. Only select wrestlers from 1983 or earlier are included.

Stroker Ace
Hailing From:	Waycross, GA	Ht:	6'1"	Wt:	247 lbs
Signature Moves:	Ace Crusher (innovated), Pit Stop (slingshot kneedrop)
Intro Music:	"Stroker's Theme" by The Charlie Daniels Band
Nicknames:	none
Affiliation:	none
Titles Held:	none
Years Active:	WCWF, 1983-1985; career, 1978-present
Real World Analogy:	Magnum T.A. doing a Burt Reynolds impersonation
Profile:	After spending his early career under a different ring name playing up his resemblance to Tom Selleck, Stroker Ace got his big break when he was signed by WCWF to capitalize on the popularity of another mustachioed hearthrob: Burt Reynolds. His gimmick is a that of cocky ladies man and Georgia race car driver, inspired by the movie he takes his name from. The fans found this amusing at first, but began to tire of it leading to Stroker's recent heel turn.

Robbie Atkinson
Role:	Commentator (color)
Years Active:	1984-present
Real World Analogy:	Bobby Heenan (vaguely)
Profile:	The more colorful member of the commentary team (with John Elliott). He has a tendancy to sympathize with the heels.

The Ayatollah
Hailing From:	Tehran, Iran	Ht:	6'0"	Wt:	250 lbs
Signature Moves:	Camel Clutch
Intro Music:	Iranian National Anthem
Nicknames:	The Terror From Tehran
Affiliation:	none
Titles Held:	WCWF World Heavyweight Title
Years Active:	WCWF, 1979-1985; career, 1972-present
Real World Analogy:	The Iron Sheik
Profile:	Former Olympic wrestler from Iran. Dominated WCWF in the early 1980s with a 1,428-day World Title reign - the second-longest in WCWF history. He drove most of the "old guard" from the 1960s and 1970s out of the company during his "reign of terror." He remains a force to be reckoned with.

Chad Too Badd
Hailing From:	Asheville, NC	Ht:	6'0"	Wt:	240 lbs
Signature Moves:	Badd Times (jumping DDT)
Intro Music:	“Bad To The Bone” by George Thorogood
Nicknames:	none
Affiliation:	none
Titles Held:	none
Years Active:	1982-1984
Real World Analogy:	Chad 2 Badd, Karl Anderson's character on Southpaw Regional Wrestling
Profile:	Badd is a caricature of 1980s excess: big mouth, big hair, flaboyant lifestyle. His final match was a loss to the debuting Bulk Logan, which apparently didn't sit well with Chad's ego.

Bruiser Barton
Hailing From:	Waxahachie, TX	Ht:	6'1"	Wt:	320 lbs
Signature Moves:	Calf Branding (kneedrop bulldog off the second turnbuckle), Waxahachie Lariat (lariat off the second turnbuckle)
Intro Music:	"La Grange" by ZZ Top
Nicknames:	"The Waxahachie Madman"
Affiliation:	none
Titles Held:	WCWF United States Title (3)
Years Active:	WCWF, 1982-present; career: 1975-present
Real World Analogy:	Bruiser Brody + Dick Murdoch
Profile:	A big, bearded brawler from rural Texas. An star athelete in high school, he was an indifferent student and barely had the grades for an athletic scholarship. He took up wrestling after he was kicked off his college football team for being too rough with his teammates in practice. His toughness and wild brawls quickly made him a fan favorite in the Texas territories and Puerto Rico. Barton's only title reign thusfar ended in a famously bloody cage match against fellow Texan Jake Blackheart. Barton seems slightly subdued in 1984 and rumor has it WCWF management has tried to reign him in in a bit. Sooner or later, more canrage will ensue.

Eddie Bearden
Hailing From:	Harlem, NY	Ht:	6'5"	Wt:	303 lbs
Signature Moves:	Bad Attitude (double underhook facebuster), Ghetto Blaster (enziguri)
Intro Music:	"Leroy Brown" by Jim Croce
Nicknames:	"Big Bad"
Affiliation:	Bad News (w/ Porkchop Jones)
Titles Held:	WCWF World Tag Team Titles (w/ Porkchop Jones)
Years Active:	1977-present
Real World Analogy:	Bad News Brown + "Big Cat" Ernie Ladd
Profile:	A former NFL lineman, Bearden started off as a street-tough loner who doesn't feel the need to play by the rules. He eventually made a deal with "Million Dollar" Stan Trump as part of a failed attempt to win the World Heavyweight Title. He came to regret the arrangement, especially when Trump expected Bearden to tangle with The Jolly Green Giant. Trump sought to punish Bearden, but Eddie found an ally in Porkchop Jones. Bearden was also put out of action by Bulk Logan shorty after Logan made questionable remarks about the possibility of Bearden becoming a champion.

Jake Blackheart
Hailing From:	Dallas, TX	Ht:	6'4"	Wt:	276 lbs
Signature Moves:	Blackout (sleeperhold), Blackheart Suplex (overhead belly-to-belly suplex)

Titles Held:	WCWF United States Title, WCWF Wold Tag Team Titles (w/ Roy Blackheart)
Years Active:	WCWF, 1971-1985; career, 1967-1985
Real World Analogy:	Blackjack Mulligan
Profile:	A surly Texan, Jake Blackheart came to WCWF with his "cousin" Roy as a heel tag team. After Roy left, Jake stuck around as a singles wrestler, with limited success. He feuded several times over the US Title, but so far has only managed one brief reign after a big feud with fellow Texas brawler Bruiser Barton. He's a solid hand as a midcard heel. His career ended in a memorable Loser-Leaves-Town Match with Jimmy Blast. His son, John, is reportedly training to follow in his father's footsteps.

Jimmy Blast
Hailing From:	Cincinatti, OH	Ht:	6'4"	Wt:	265 lbs

Years Active:	WCWF, 1982-present; career, 1980-present
Real World Analogy:	Arn Anderson (loosely), with elements of Ric Flair, Jimmy Garvin, and Tully Blanchard
Profile:	Jimmy Blast hails from the Midwest, but wrestles more of a Southern style. He can brawl when he has to and packs some of the nastiest chops in the business, but he prefers to wrestle patient, technical matches. Blast started out in the Mid-Atlantic indys, but was soon snatched up WCWF who recognized him as prodigy. He's got all the tools inside the ropes any wrestler could ask for. If he can hone his personality and mic skills he should be one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

Profile:	An articulate ring technician, Bockwinkel came to WCWF when it acquired AWA in 1978 and feuded with David Runner over who was the real world champion.

However, finding he liked wrestling, Mr. B took a break from his acting career to become a full-timer in WCWF.

Profile:	He came to WCWF and won the tag titles with his mentor Gino Bravo. After Gino returned to Canada, Alpha teamed with Jake Stryker as part of the latter's face turn. Alpha went on to a modest singles career as a Canadian hero. After unsuccessfully challenging The Ayatollah for the WCWF World Heavyweight Title in Toronto, Bravo returned to Maple Leaf Wrestling.

Thus he became the loveable Jolly Green Giant (complete with a leafy green singlet) who reminds children to eat their vegetables so they grown up strong. He even does commercials and became the star of a Saturday morning cartoon. In addtion to his wholesome character, he's also particularly notable for having never been pinned, submitted, or slammed in WCWF.

Real World Analogy:	Verne Gagne
Profile:	A popular technician in the Midwest territories in the 1950s. Greene broke away from the NWA by founding the AWA in 1960. Verne kept himself on top of the AWA through the 1960s and remained stubbornly dedicated to pushing mat-based wrestlers even as WCWF began to dominate with a flashier product, both in terms of matches and production quality. After WCWF bought AWA in 1978, Greene mostly teamed with his son, Greg, and the duo even won the tag titles. Verne Greene's final match was a loss to The Ayatollah in Minneapolis. Greg Greene didn't last long in WCWF after his father's retirement.

Titles Held:	none
Years Active:	1983-present
Real World Analogy:	none
Profile:	Originally a well-intentioned, slightly-naive young man. Hale teamed with second-generation wrestler Carl Stryker as The Midnight Resistance, a team that wavered between patriotic and soldiers of fortune. The team eventually split up, with Hale reliably All-American. In late 1985 he helped turn Cpl. Punishment face and teamed with him in a tournament for the tag titles. During that tournament, Hale was sprayed in the face with black mist by Hanoi Xan. This corrupted Hale resulting in him turning on Punishment at Royal Rumble '86 and subsequently aligning himself with Xan. Brett Hale is now the inverse of his former self, a dark Arthurian figure seeking to conquer WCWF.

Titles Held:	WCWF World Heavyweight Title (2)
Years Active:	1959-1980
Real World Analogy:	Bruno Sammartino
Profile:	An Italian immigrant, Mancini was one of the most popular and successful wrestlers in WCWF history. He had two reigns as WCWF World Heavyweight Champion, the first lasting nearly 8 years and the second more than 3 years. He was the first major challenger (and victim) in The Ayatollah's "reign of terror". Mancini tearfully retired after a stunning loss to his Iranian foe in the main event of the Showndown at Shea in 1980. He made special one-time return to the ring at the first Wrestlemania in 1985, losing to his former protege, Mean Massimo.

Mean Massimo

Intro Music:	"Overkill" by Motorhead (1984-present) "The Ecstacy of Gold" by Ennio Morricone (1980-1984; adopted from Mario Mancini)
Nicknames:	"The Campanian Crusher"
Affiliation:	none - formerly The Young Italians (w/ Tony Ferrari)
Titles Held:	WCWF United States Title, WCWF World Tag Team Titles (w/ Tony Ferrari), WCWF TV Title
Years Active:	1973-present
Real World Analogy:	Salvatore Bellomo (loosely) and filling the role of Larry Zybysko (but Italian)
Profile:	Massimo immigrated with his family late in chilhood, and got into a lot of trouble as a teenager in New York's Little Italy that earned him his nickname ("Mean"). Not academicly inclined nor athletically gifted, what he did have was an incredible drive and work ethic (and a fierce pride in his Italian heritage). If not for wrestling, he might have ended up an enforcer for the Italian Mafia. Instead, inspired by Mario Mancini, Massimo worked hard to become a wrestler and made his way way up the card through the 1970s. Mancini became a mentor, both kayfabe and real life. Rumor has it he was going to turn on his mentor, setting up a huge main event for Showdown at Shea 1980. Plans changed due to The Ayatollah's Reign of Terror. Massimo got several World Title matches with The Ayatollah, but he could never quite manage to win. Although he remained popular in the northeast as heir to the Mancini legacy, Massimo because frustrated by his seemingly stalled career. In the fall of 1984, Massimo's frustration boiled over and he brutally attacked both Rick Samson and a referee after being DQ'd in a match for the TV Title. He subsequently cut a scathing promo about getting mean and being his own man instead of who other people want him to be. Since then Massimo has been a unique chaotic force in WCWF. He won the TV Title then tried to sell it to Stan Trump. Massimo attacked Mancini at an awards presentation then beat him at Wrestlemania I. Massimo took out Jimmy Blast at Fall Brawl '85 in a failed bid to gain the US Title that lead to attacks on other contenders for the title, and sometimes seemingly random wrestlers. At The Wrestling Classic, Massimo delivered "The Chairshot Heard 'Round The World" when he laid out The Jolly Green Giant.

After losing a bitter feud to The Ayatollah, he disappeared for awhile before returning as Corporal Punishment. Punishment claiming he had been reduced in rank because of his failure to defeat America's mortal enemy and was back to punish WCWF's roster for being so weak that nobody else could beat The Ayatollah either.

Profile:	Chris Reese may be the most inveterate, shameless, unapologetic narcisist in the history of pro wrestling, and that's saying something. He loves to tape vignettes clad only in a speedo, flaunting his six-pack abs and fantastic physique. He boasts his appearance is all-natural, the product of superior genetics and exercise, but fans think he doth protest too much. Whatever the truth, he can back up his big mouth and bigger ego with some flashy moves in the ring.

Years Active:	1967-1978, with sporadic appearances until 1981 (career entirely outside WCWF except a brief run in 1977)
Real World Analogy:	Dusty Rhodes
Profile:	Despite his poor physique and lisp, "The American Dream" Virgil Riley was getting very popular in Florida in the 1970s as a working class hero. In 1977, he became majority owner of the Gainesville-based Sonny's BBQ, renaming it Daddy-O's House of Ribs and introducing the motto "Finga-lickin' good food, beh-beh!" He continued to wrestle sporadically in the years immediately after the purchase, but is now compelely retired from wrestling to focus on his growing business.

Titles Held:	WCWF World Heavyweight Title (2)
Years Active:	1983-present, WCWF; 1977-present, career
Real World Analogy:	Mickey Rourke's character in "The Wrestler"
Profile:	Randy came from a working-class background in New Jersey, something he plays up in his promos but somewhat resents in real life. When he turned 18, left behind his given name (Robin Ramzinski) and hitchiked to Southern California to make a new life for himself. Robinson used his size to be a bouncer and bodyguard. He got his nickname when he used a headbutt to knock a guy out in a bar fight (alledgedly while wearing a Los Angeles Rams jersey). Robinson trained as a boxer before turning to wrestling. When WCWF acquired the Midwest territory he was working for, it brought "The Ram" home to the New York City area. There he finally did the seemingly impossible by ending The Ayatollah's "reign of terror." Robinson has been a legitmate "people's champion" and had a solid run as world champion. He lost the title to Bulk Logan at the first Wrestlemania after a championship belt shot to the head. The Ram bounced back, only to be sidelined by an injury, then taking time off for the birth of his daughter. He made a return at Starrcade '85 as Logan's mystery opponent, regaining his title in the process.

Profile:	Cocky heel with a gravelly voice and best known for his time in the NWA territories where he is still active. He had a memorable run with WCWF in the late 70s and early 80s when he feuded with Mario Mancini, Billy Golden, and The Jolly Green Giant. He turned face to feud with The Ayatollah, leaving WCWF after being defeated.

Years Active:	Mexico, 1981-1983; WCWF, 1983-present
Real World Analogy:	none
Profile:	A young, humble, hard-working Mexican wrestler, Salmanca's childhood hero was Pedro Gonzalez. Sol was inspired by a Hispanic wrestler becoming a world champion in America. Rather than taking up a mask as most luchadores do, Salmanca wrestled openly as himself. While he rarely one, his determination and the tremendous pride he took in his in-ring performance helped him stand out. He got signed by WCWF in the wake of Gonzalez's career-ending injury and quickly became comfortable with American wrestling. He has a promising future. A career highlight was winning the TV Title at the first Wrestlemania, with Gonzalez personally putting the belt around his waist.

Real World Analogy:	none directly; elements of Jesse Ventura and Ken Patera, and looks like a more muscular Don Frye (or Mike Haggar)
Profile:	A former bodybuilder, he started his career in the territories as "Strongman Samson" doing an old-fashioned circus strongman gimmick with feats of strength and handlebar mustache. He proved more capable in the ring than most bodybuilders and weightlifters, although he's certainly no technician. By the time he got to WCWF he had ditched most of the cartoonish elements of his gimmick, although he still wears a carnival-style singlet. He's always been a heroic figure, never a bully.

Years Active:	WCWF, 1985; career, 1978-present
Real World Analogy:	Davey Boy Smith
Profile:	Muscular British wrestler inspired by the tragic early death of his hot-headed tag team partner in Japan. He won the inaugural WCWF World Cup of Wrestling then won the WCWF TV Title in his debut match, but his inexperience led to four reigns in as many months. Deciding he needed more experience, he teamed up with Dreadnaut, a fellow Brit. The duo won the titles at Starrcade '85 only for Smith to overdose on cocaine during a post-PPV party, ending his first run in WCWF.

Years Active:	AWA 1971-1975; WCWF 1975-1982; career, 1950-1982
Real World Analogy:	Ray Stevens
Profile:	Stevens started wrestling as a teenager and spent most of his early career in Big Time Wrestling and other Pacific Coast territories. Starting as a cocky heel, he evolved into a sadistic technician who took more pleasure in hurting his opponents than winning. He had an impressive run in AWA teaming with Rocky Bockwinkel, who provided a eliquent partner to Stevens' cold viciousness. After the end of his third reign with Bockwinkel, Stevens jumped to WCWF where he formed a successful team with a young Johnny "Bloody" Valentine. Feeling the physical toll from many injuries and recognizing the trend toward larger wrestlers, "Crippler" Stevens retired in 1982 after a Hall-of-Fame-worthy career.

Affiliation:	Trump International
Titles Held:	none yet
Years Active:	WCWF, 1983-present; career, 1974-present
Real World Analogy:	"Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase
Profile:	A second-generation wrestler, Theodore Stanley Ironside's father died in the ring of a heart attack when Stan was 15. He took up wrestling after an injury ended his college sports career, originally wrestling as "Ted Ironside" in the Mid-South territory - a smiling face continuing his father's legacy. In 1980, he reinvented himself as a sleezy and egotistical businessman Stan Trump, modeled off real estate mogul Donald Trump. Donald's purchase of the USFL's New Jersey Generals brought him enough national attention that Stan got signed by WCWF. "Million Dollar Stan" is as dishonest and underhanded as they come. He's willing to cheat, steal, bribe, or manipulate anyone to further his own goals. While he likes to use other wrestlers as pawns against his rivals, Stan Trump is no pushover in the ring. Sooner or later he will acquire a championship - the only question is when and how (price is no object). After Randy Robinson finally ended The Ayatollah's Reign of Terror, the first thing Stan did was try to buy the belt! This lead to an on-and-off feud between the two for almost a year. In 1985, Trump bought the TV Title, only to have the sale voided by the WCWF Commissioner. Million Dollar Stan also spent most of that year fueding with The Jolly Green Giant, including placing a bounty on Jolly's head.
