Zumhofe vs. Heenan

1982.

“Rock and Roll” Buck Zumhofe and Bobby the Brain Heenan grappled AT LEAST 47 times in 1982.

Coworkers essentially.

Shirtless. Sweaty. In cities across the midwest, mostly.

I don’t think I have ever known any human being in this way.

Fighting. Fake fighting. Embracing.

Then doing it again, often the very next night.

Edit: Zumhofe is a creep.

BRILLION WISCONSIN MATCH NOTES:

“Claw: The Brillion card was mine, I lived there from 78-84 and put it together with Al DeRusha and Dennis Hilgart, I was also the ring announcer and had to take the mic and cord away from Goulet while he was choking Zumofe with it. Billy the Kid was drunk, and I got to see half naked Jerry Blackwell playing cribbage with Little Tokyo. Quite the day. Brillion is about 120 miles from Monona, which is a Madison suburb to the south. And since I did airport shuttle we picked up Shiek, Duncum, Goulet, Zumhofe (who spilled 7 Up all over the dash of my van) , Santana, and Baron. The midgets and Blackwell drove themselves. We needed two vehicles as instructed for the airport deal, heels and faces, and drank alot of beer on the trip back to the airport. Brillion is 25 miles south of Green Bay, where they flew in and out of.”
