Yeah, when Cena was on Howard Stern, he said he drives over to the Orlando training facility (from Tampa) every week that he's in Florida.

Kevin Nash lives in Daytona, he's close with one of my friends from ISC/NASCAR, used to hang out with him a lot when I worked there.

Tampa is historically the epicenter of wrestling training. A ton of wrestlers grew up in Central Florida, a ton moved there to train, and another ton moved there to live during/after their careers.

Growing up in that area, we would see Hogan and Beefcake around at random places all the time. Macho Man, too. X-Pac was around a lot, Undertaker stayed in Tierra Verde for a bit, Big Show bought Tony Little's former house in St. Pete, Luke from the Bushwhackers used to have a wrestling school in the area.

Exactly. It’s people that use “lol” as support that don’t get it. Lots of them out there running around.

When I first started watching WWF, Beefcake was a heel. His manager was Johnny Valiant and his gimmick was a male stripper 😂

My grandfather who got into pro wrestling said his gimmick was Hulk’s brother in the mid to late 70s.

At one point in my life I wanted to start a pro wrestling article and show.

Yeah for years people thought him and Hogan were actually brothers

I met Brutus outside the ring once when I was a kid when they were in town. Probably why I have a soft spot for what he did. Great era of tag team wrestling when he was with Greg Valentine

Valentine looked rough the last time I saw him and it was a solid 10 years ago… it was like looking at @swflhurricane’s grainy photos but in real time…

I thought I needed glasses, but nope. He looked like ****…

My photos aren't grainy....they get like that because I took the photos from one of a dozen Albums I have. The actual pics are clear as day.
