Apparently his wedding on WWF TV was his actual wedding. This was at the Brendan Byrne Arena in East Rutherford, New Jersey. I was there.

Who could forget his classic match against Adrian Adonis at WrestleMania 2. Imagine how much worse that match could have been if someone else was in it. Adonis did quite the job bumping around a guy who could barely maintain his balance.

Hillbilly Jim tells the story about how Elmer held Vince up for more money prior to his SNME match with King Kong Bundy. Bundy squashed him, and Elmer was fired immediately afterwards and never seen again. He did have a charisma about him, but it gets uncomfortable to watch when guys can't get up without using the ropes for leverage. Heard it was that and Tiny's habit of selling fake Rolexs to the wrestlers as to why he got fired. He ended up going back to his hometown,Pascagoula MS, and bringing the old GCCW back. Which lasted for a few years. Some of their last shows had a young rookie on it. A young rookie named Bob Holly. Another interesting thing about Tiny,he really really really liked midgets. Take that as you want

"I buy my cologne by the gallon, neighbor, 'cause it's cheaper that way."
Bobby Heenan said Elmer approached him in the back one night and asked, "How come the Giant don't like me?" Bobby said, "Well, how do you know he doesn't like you?" Elmer replied, "Because he TOLD me so." Bobby said, "I'd stay away from him."

I always understood that Andre had issues with a lot of the bigger super heavyweights of the time. He felt they watered down his gimmick, made him seem less special, even though Andre usually wound up squashing most of them.

Apparently, there was legitimate heat between Andre and Studd due to that. He was also known as Kamala II. It's in the Wrestlecrap Book of Lists. Also the Giant Rebel, the Convict, the Lone Ranger, A-Team #2 and Congorilla.

Yeah, intentionally left out the dozen or so variations of his Plowboy/Hillbilly/Uncle gimmick. According to a pretty good listing over at Wrestling Classics' FAQ board, Frazier is the all-time "most names/gimmicks" frontrunner with 20.

But they are all ones he did in GCCW that almost no one saw.
