I can't remember the name, but there was a big skinhead gang in NY making waves at the time that the gimmick was based on. |

There are non-racist skinheads out there. It's just the news tends to focus on the racist variety since it makes better copy. And since pro wrestling is basically an industry of stereotypes......... Thank you. You are quite welcome. That reminds me of something I saw on youtube talking about skinheads in NYC done for their local news where it talks about the two different factions of the non-racist working class hooligans who enjoy punk,oi, and thrash (and when they first started in England were big into ska and reggae) and the neo-nazi variety. Two interviewees are even a black skinhead and a Jewish skinhead who's his local chapter's president of S.H.A.R.P. (SkinHeads Against Racial Prejudice). Warning: No profanity but this contains some racial slurs and racist imagery (i.e. swastikas) Ok, back to wrestling. I think it would've been interesting if in '98 or '99 if Vince brought the Harris brothers back to feud with each other in an "American History X" feud. Also, if ECW was to have characters based on characters from "The Wanderers" in the form of the Baldies, then they should've also had a stable based on the Ducky Boys Warning: some profanity That or brought in the band the Ducky Boys |

I can only remember them beating up Christian York & Joey Mathews at Guilty As Charged. I remember at Anarchy Rulz 99 there was a big clustersnork when Chris Chetti got hurt doing a Lionsault during a tag match with Nova against Simon Diamond and Tony Devito so then Doring and Roadkill (and Lita) came out and attacked everybody, Da Baldies and CW Anderson ran out to stop Roadkill from doing a top rope splash on Jazz, Da Baldies started fighting amonst each other, and then New Jack came out and beat everybody but Nova up. I don't know if there was a point other than to see Spanish Angel get hit in the balls with a pool stick and Rod Price get stapled in the head. Come to think of it... most times Da Baldies came out it resulted in New Jack beating them up with weapons. The vid is on youtube. Price gets stapled like 3 times by New Jack. Come to think of it, there are like a handful of vids with nothing but New Jack beating the shit out of the Baldies. |
