The WWF probably would have been slapped with a C&D quicker than you can say heroes in a halfshell, if this had ever gotten to TV.

I now want an entire article dedicated to whatever antics Gillberg got up to that reached a point where Vince himself recognized him as one of the top goofballs in wrestling.

I spoke with Duane Gill and Barry Hardy today at the Legends of the Ring convention about this. They told me that the article got the name of their team wrong. They were actually called the Toxic Turtles. It was inspired by the combination of Toxic Avenger and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I thought it was worth mentioning.

Didnt Brian Hildebrand play a turtle in some federation as well? With all that, this gives me hope that we finally see in-ring footage of the 60s Battman character.

Brian was The Wrestling Turtle in Smokey Mountain. And while I have no lead on Tony Marino's 1960s version, here's a couple of other Batmans. Batmen. Something. Whatever.

I just read in a Spring 1993 Observer that they were called Tommy and Timmy, and they worked one of the TV Tapings following Wrestlemania 9. Probably about 2 years after the Turtles were really relevant
