[Deleted]

A friend sent this to me on Facebook. I googled it and what do you know, it's legit.

Longtime AWA pro wrestler and Buck "Rock & Roll" Zumhofe was arrested in Kandiyohi County, Minnesota on Monday and is facing 12 criminal sexual conduct charges having to do with allegations from his daughter that he had molested her repeatedly.

Zumhofe is charged with sexual crimes when she was between the ages of 15 and 18 and is being held on $500,000 unconditional bond and $100,000 conditional bond on not having contact with the victim.

County Attorney Jennifer Fischer, who explained the gruesome nature of the complaint by his daughter, now 29, who came to authorities in March, said the goal is to put Zumhofe away for the rest of his life.

Dug this up, here's a transcript of an interview myself and a friend had with Buck in November 2011. He was pretty grossly open with what was going on with his daughter leaving his house, getting married to someone Buck didn't like, etc. He completely opened up about his personal life.


On wrestling Tiger Mask II: "Well you see, they wanted a guy who was reliable, could have a good match and wasn't you know, a main event guy so they called me. Honestly, I don't remember the match at all."

When we informed him of Misawa's passing: "Oh really? I didn't know that."

On women's wrestling: "They have their place, I mean it's not like what some of the girls I know tell me where in Japan where they are working like the guys. They shouldn't be doing that. They're not supposed to be working like that."

On drugs in wrestling: "Well honestly, I can't remember anyone doing drugs until Hogan came along."

On The Rockers walking in on him with two women: "Well, it was true. What can I say? I mean, it wasn't anything the boys weren't doing, and I had my girlfriends and you know, I'm a man. I can talk about this no problem. I had dozens of girlfriends."

On wrestling the Undertaker and if he thought Taker had what it took to make it in wrestling: "Honestly I didn't care. The way I saw it was...it was free money. I showed up, put the guy over, they knew I could do it, and I got $500."

On his personal problems: "My daughter, you know, she ran off, got married, wants to get knocked up. I haven't talked to her in months, she deleted me off the website and she won't talk to me so I have nobody running the business right now." (Note: I have no idea why he told us this, we did not ask him about his family)

On TNA: "They have Hulk Hogan, they have Ric Flair. They got everyone else, why don't they have me? I can put on a cheap suit like Ric Flair, I can take the bumps like Ric Flair. Why haven't they called me? Any me daughter? She's better on the mic than everyone they've got! She can draw money, I tried to get her into TNA and WWE, they didn't want her and I don't f***in' get it."

On scoring with the ladies: "You know, I got my abs back, I'm in good shape and I got a good job. These women, they're you know, 39, 40. Single moms, they don't want me, they want some 20 year old shithead that works at Walmart."

Saw this posted on another board:


Former AWA wrestling star Buck “Rock ‘n’ Roll” Zumhofe is facing 12 felony counts of criminal sexual conduct after being accused of repeatedly having sex with a female relative over a 12 year period, the West Central Tribune of Willmar reports.

Zumhofe, whose real name is Eugene Otto Zumhofe, appeared for the first time in Kandiyohi County District Court in Willmar on Tuesday.

The 62-year-old Zumhofe is known for his professional wrestling career in the 1980s and 1990s. He was arrested and taken into custody by Kandiyohi County authorities Monday.

Zumhofe, who lives in Cyrus, faces six felony counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and six felony counts of third-degree criminal sexual conduct. He is accused of having sex with the victim between 1999 and 2011.

The criminal complaint in the case states that Zumhofe first met the female victim in 1998, and he began having sex with her in June 1999 when she was 15 years old. The alleged abuse ended in 2011, and the woman, now 29, reported it after seeking therapy and medical care in 2012.

The victim alleges that the abuse began when she moved into Zumhofe’s New London home in June 1999, which progressed from fondling and oral sex to intercourse. She alleges that approximately 1,800 acts of sexual abuse occurred at the home and in other locations, including Pope County, until she left in June 2011.

According to the complaint, the woman’s mother attempted to remove her from Zumhofe’s residence at one point, but Zumhofe allegedly told the victim he would kill himself and it would be her fault, so she stayed. The complaint also says that after the victim left, Zumhofe has become violent, and has threatened the her, her husband, and others, and has also threatened suicide.

Kandiyohi County Judge Kathryn Smith set Zumhofe’s bail at $500,000 cash or bond for unconditional release and $100,000 cash or bond for conditional release.

Zumhofe served a 36-month prison sentence at the Minnesota Correctional Facility in Stillwater after being convicted of criminal sexual conduct in Carver County in 1989.

The former wrestler is currently being held at the Kandiyohi County Jail and is due in court again June 10.
