RIP Sy Sperling (Founder, Hair Club For Men)

[Seth Drakin of Monster Crap]

Yep, the guy who famously said "not only is he the president of Hair Club for Men, but also a client" passed away after a lengthy battle with an illness. Many wrestling fans may know him as a celebrity guest at WrestleMania X. He was 78.

Didn't they on-air credit him giving Fink a toupee for the night? RIP.

It sometimes feels like almost every commercial I watched in the 80s was Sy Sperling, George Zimmer or Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale.

RIP Sy

Only remember him from WMX. As a naive 9-year old German, I thought he was a big deal in the US if he appeared at WM.

RIP.

I’m Canadian but he kind of was. He was certainly ubiquitous. It wasn’t like people didn’t know who he was, in the West.

Yeah, they'd actually been mentioning it for weeks in the buildup that Fink would be debuting a toupee from him.

RIP guy from Wrestlemania X.

If the internet was around back then he would have been a great meme.

RIP

For something done as a gag, I recall the toupee looking pretty decent, but I can imagine Sy would have wanted it to be good considering how poorly it'd reflect on his business if they had him on to just say it sucked.
