Page 14 a the stars and stripes by Ron Mckinney. Staff writer the cheetah kid gave one american fan a few personal souvenirs to take Home from the. American pro wrestlers exhibition at the \. Maima Rathalle in Mannheim Germany. V namely a few bumps and bruises. A. Jim Cole limped away from the Center last week moaning and groaning but mostly laughing about his a personal taste of pro wrestling mayhem. A. Cole was sitting quietly minding his business As. Most wrestling fans usually do when the cheetah kid and Johnny Rotten took their main event out of the ring and into the stands. Cole Nice Guy that he is graciously invited Johnny Rotten to throw cheetah kid into him. Quot i did t think he would. But he did. And then he cheetah kid beat. Me Quot Cole said. It s hard to believe the cheetah kid could have mistaken Cole for Rotten. Cole is a tall and slender a Soldier from the Kaiserslautern area Rotten has. A. Shoulder length Blond hair and outweighs Cole by 60 pounds. Besides that Rotten was wearing a skimpy tank top suit and Cole was decked in Blue jeans and Long sleeve sweater. A a but such Sleights Are the Norm in pro wrestling. Cole was t the Only one battered by the night s end also hurting was gorgeous Chris Duffy who was thrown around in the ring like a Pillow at a slumber party. Duffy was one of 16 pro wrestlers including midgets and. Well women who were 10-Day exhibition tour of Germany. Approximately 1,000 fans mostly germans packed the Hall for Mannheim s main event. During the show Duffy played the part of the obnoxious bad Guy stalking the crowd in to. Win Oyer a few fans with his disarming scowl and scurrilous words of encouragement. However the fans weren t enamoured with Duffy and howled in displeasure whenever he slammed Star Warrior to the Point of defeat. When Star Warrior miraculously recovered and chased Duffy out of the ring the crowd cheered in Delight. Duffy sulked at ringside pacing in front of the scorers table not pleased at All with the crowds vocal support of Star Warrior. Antagonized by the fans he grabbed the microphone and screamed Quot or. Announcer. I want you to Tell these people to Shaddue so i can concentrate a ,. A a sure or. Duffy. No problem Duffy after All was a consummate professional. Head Stop wrestling at times to Admire his work a having thrown Star Warrior out of the ring he intoned to the. Crowd Quot now that s what t Call Talent baby a. But once Star Warrior locked his Muscles around him Duffy changed his . Then he would. Cry out his favorite two syllable word to the wildly cheering audience Quot Shad Duple a Duffy s menacing Persona however was no match for the 6-foot-2 Power twins Larry and David Power of City Dent the Scales at 300 pounds each a divided somewhat evenly of bulk and ego that s not to. Suggest that these identical twins Are fat or arrogant. Then again these charming hunks speak for. Themselves. A a there ainu to no fat on these bodies Quot David claims. A these Are bodies that women love and men envy Quot Larry adds. A a a a Quot they other wrestlers Are envious. They re jealous of us. They re out to make their Money and they know How Good we Are a what can they do Quot David people Don t always like our tactics but we win that s All that matters Quot explains Larry. V while the wrestlers won t admit the matches Are More show than blow they each claim to have an Affinity for inflicting pain on their hated opponents a this is a great. Sport where you can beat up people for a living. We. Enjoy beating up people a a said Larry Power. A and Tho women wrestlers on tour Aren t Likely to be found shopping together they say. A a in be got to get in the ring and beat Mem up Are you going to be friends with somebody who just kicked your ass i do my thing they do their thing As Long As they stay out of my path Quot said Kat Leroux who hails from new Orleans. Leroux an explosive fury of angry dynamite packaged in a squat 5-foot-5 Frame is no Ordinary Southern belie. She has no patience for life a meaningless niceties such As fair play and other such sportsmanlike nonsense. A. Quot i Don t care How much they hate me. hate me worse by the time i get done Quot Leroux said of her opponents and the fans. And that a Why pro wrestling enticed her combative nature six years ago. A i like being mean. I really do. You can get away with it in there Quot Leroux said. Quot everybody likes being mean right Isnit there people sometimes you a like to go smash them one it they annoy a there a go. It s fun. A its that kind of fun that Drew Sharry Wilson to the a wrestling matches. The Mannheim contracting officer is a fan of pro wrestling not for the sport but for the Chance to watch the wrestlers Pound each other senselessly. Still Wilson said she would t be Yelling like other fans. Quot i Don t know about Yelling but i. Just like to see someone get the tar beat out of them Quot she said./. A Wilson especially enjoys watching the bad Guys get their due. Quot they re pulling All these conniving moves and you be got judges up there who Are supposed to be watching but they re Blind a know. And All these things happen when a their Back is turned. A. Quot some of Mem got it coming though because they re so Nasty a Wilson said. The Nasty wrestlers Are easy to recognize they strut in stalking the ring to curse their otherwise staunch. Supporters Many fans naturally cordially invite the bad Guys Over for a taste of the real fight. Then the Good Guys Hustle in with a Rush of Energy smiling and slapping hands with fans sitting in the first Row. And always innocently unaware that the bad Guy is. Scheming to get in a few punches As soon As they step in. The ring v. A a. A. And that a what Drew German fan Nicole Duval to her first main event. Quot it s an unusual sport. It s not like any other sport a you can do what you want Quot Duval explained. And that apparently includes the action in the stands where Cole was volunteering his body to be used As punching bag by Johnny Rotten and cheetah kid. Not that Cole was complaining Quot love it. It s great but it Hurt. Quot saturday March 30,1991 the stars and stripes Page 15
