Grandfather (Oct 1921): Stanislaus Zbyszko Father (Sept 1949): Orville Brown Me (Oct 1990): Ultimate Warrior (WWF), Sting (NWA), Larry Zbyszko (AWA, last champion) Extra points for two Zbysko's bookending your family tree. Tis a neat anomaly, even if they weren't actually related. |

Me: Backlund, Flair & Bockwinkel
Dad: Thesz
Grand-Dad: Predates Hackenschmidt. The Champion of the United States (Which I'm guessing was as close as you got to a world championship...) was Yusuf Ismail, from Turkey. Credited as the first wrestler to introduce a title belt. Grampa was a big time wrestling fan and left me his wrestling film collection. I've never went through it all, but some of the stuff is very old black & white. I have the gimmick to play it with, but some of this film is SOOOO brittle, I don't want to break it.
