Amish Roadkill
Forming one half of one of the stranger tag-team pairings of the 1990s, Amish Roadkill reunites with his former tag-team partner Danny Doring to make things that much more interesting in the tag-team division!
Wearing traditional Amish dress and hailing from Lancaster, Pennsylvania, this rather non-traditional wrestler made his debut in the mid-1990s in a very popular eastern United States promotion. It didn’t take him long to pair up with Danny Doring, and the two men would eventually go on to become that promotion’s World Tag Team Champions. The team had several notable feuds during this time, including one involving Justin Credible. Roadkill and Credible will not take long to renew their rivalry if promoters have their way!
In addition to wearing rather non-traditional wrestling garb to his matches, Roadkill also was, shall we say, a bit brief in his interviews? Oftentimes, he would give just a one-word answer to any question posed to him, that being “Chickens”. Yes, Roadkill was one of a kind!
After his time in the eastern promotion, Amish Roadkill went on to compete in other independent promotions (where he both teamed with and faced the Blue Meanie), and even had a brief cup of coffee in the big leagues. He and Doring will most definitely make one colorful pairing in rings everywhere now that they are reunited.
FINISHER & OTHER MOVES: BUGGY BANG - This is a tag finisher Roadkill does with Danny Doring, in which Roadkill holds the opponent face down in a wheelbarrow position, and Doring comes off the rope with his DANACONDA to the back of the neck.
He also had very colorful names for some of his moves, like the Lancaster Lariat of Lust (which he did with partner Danny Doring) in which Roadkill would grab the hapless opponent in a bear hug while Doring would come off the second rope with a clothesline, the Amish Splash (a top rope splash), and the Barn Burner (a fireman’s carry into a Diamond Cutter).
Danny Doring
Danny Doring rose to fame and prominence during the hardcore and edgier wrestling style of the 1990s. Doring was primarily a product of this movement and its push-the-envelope method, and he developed a niche in the eastern United States. Initially, however, Doring made a name for himself simply because he was quite the boring wrestler, avoiding using high flying moves for more of a workmanlike approach. When the fans would rain down chants of “Boring, Boring,” Doring (whose name happens to rhyme with that chant!) mistakenly thought they were cheering for him! It made for quite the spectacle!
Doring didn’t completely hit his stride until he teamed up with Amish Roadkill, forming one of the better…or at least more interesting…tag teams of the late 1990s. The two went on to win championship gold, as well as entertain thousands of fans with their odd pairing. Along the way, Doring feuded with Justin Credible and Chris Candido in both singles and tag-team action. These feuds will no doubt re-ignite once these combatants meet again!
Doring is still competing on the independent circuit in the United States. He’s developed a following, and has along the way won his fair share of independent titles. He’s still a colorful character, no longer boring by any stretch of the imagination, and he promises to bring his unique brand of wrestling to rings around the world!
FINISHER: DANACONDA – Doring comes off the top rope with a leg drop!
The Mongols
With bald heads and little tufts of hair protruding from their heads, the Mongols were as fierce a stable of wrestlers as any in the history of wrestling. Originally formed by Geeto and Bepo Mongol, they would terrorize the Pittsburgh territory in the early 1970s. They would eventually taste championship gold in the northeastern region of the United States, winning the world tag team championship in that area.
Bepo would eventually leave the team for other endeavors, and Geeto would be joined by Bolo Mongol. The two would compete internationally, including a successful stint in Japan. They would win a version of the world tag team championship, and would continue to prove to be a fearsome presence in the ring.
Now that all three Mongols are united at one time, there’s no telling how much damage they may inflict. A Road Warriors-Mongols feud looms on the horizon, that’s for sure!
FINISHERS: Geeto has two finishers he utilizes, a TOP ROPE KNEEDROP and THE MONGOL DROP, where his tag partner grabs the opponent in a bear hug, while he delivers the TOP ROPE KNEEDROP. Bepo uses a JUMPING STOMP and Bolo prefers to employ a CRUSHING BEAR HUG.
Louie Spicolli
A wrestler with many different personas over his career, Louie Spicolli was a very colorful competitor over the course of 10-year career.
Beginning his career on the undercard, primarily for the most successful wrestling promotion in the world, Spicolli would lose far more than he ever won. He kept at it though, eventually tasting success in Mexico, forming a much-hated rulebreaking faction with the likes of Konnan. During this time, he wrestled as a very famous pop singer’s boyfriend, which he clearly wasn’t, which only seemed to make the fans hate him more. He would compete as part of a groundbreaking supercard, showcasing some of the best talent in the western hemisphere.
After his time in Mexico, and now with a better foundation underneath him, Spicolli would return to the major leagues of wrestling. He would compete for all three major promotions in the United States, where he both teamed and feuded with Chris Candido, and feuded with Larry Zbyszko.
Spicolli would tragically die at the young age of 27. It was a very sad day for wrestling fans, as this young talent clearly had what it took to be a star for years to come.
FINISHER: DEATH VALLEY DRIVER - Spicolli is sometimes credited with creating this devastating move, which is a fireman’s carry into a falling head slam.
Super Crazy
Not many wrestlers can claim that they started their career at the age of 14. But Super Crazy certainly can, making his professional debut at that tender age! This led to a 30-plus year career, one that would see him wrestle for many of the major promotions throughout the world.
Super Crazy began his career in Mexico, eventually wrestling for one of the major promotions in that country. Originally under a mask, he would establish himself as a great rulebreaker, one with a flair for the dramatic.
He would find his way to the United States, where he would make his mark for a successful promotion on the east coast. He became a star, feuding with Jerry Lynn along the way. From there he would compete successfully for a number of years on the U.S. independent scene, as well as Japan, winning several titles. He developed a reputation for being a great hardcore style of wrestler, although he could compete well in traditional grappling as well.
Super Crazy would make it to the big time in 2005, becoming part of a successful stable of wrestlers, along with Juventud Guerrera, in the largest promotion in the world. Super Crazy, Guerrera and company would start out as rulebreakers, but the fans continued to cheer for them, so much so that they became popular heroes in the promotion. Super Crazy would go on to form a tag team with Jim Duggan of all people, an odd pairing but one that tasted success in its own right.
In 2008, Super Crazy would return to wrestling’s independent circuit, where he still competes to this day. He would also continue to compete in Japan, where he earned a reputation for being a solid junior heavyweight. Whether as a junior heavyweight, hardcore, or just plain old wrestler, Super Crazy will certainly add flair to any promoter’s card!
FINISHER: MOONSAULT – Crazy uses the traditional moonsault as an effective finisher, but sometimes Super Crazy will attempt a TRIPLE MOONSAULT. When this option is chosen, roll one die. On a roll of “6,” the opponent blocks the third moonsault, and rolls on Level 2 Offense.
Manny Villalobos
Manny Villalobos wrestled much of his career in promotions in his home state of Texas. He battled a variety of Legends, including The Iron Sheik and Johnny Mantell. He had a few matches for a national promotion, taking on the likes of Samu and Shane Douglas, and even once teaming up with Eddie Gilbert to try to make a name for himself. Villalobos started getting some upset wins and was rewarded with a new car from a local car dealership. Manny Fernandez destroyed his car with an ax, and a feud ensued! Villalobos' biggest claim to fame was winning a singles championship in a promotion featured on national television. He would be the last star to hold that title. Villalobos continued to work on the independent scene before passing away in 2016.
FINISHER: FLYING FOREARM - Villalobos often surprises opponents with this lightning-quick attack!
