“James Stuart Duggan (born January 14, 1954) is an American professional wrestler, currently signed to World Wrestling Entertainment wrestling on its RAW brand. He is best known for his appearances with the World Wrestling Federation and World Championship Wrestling. His best known gimmick is that of an American patriot and his favorite weapon, the 2×4.

Duggan is a survivor of kidney cancer, an illness he was diagnosed with during his employment with WCW. His real-life struggle with the disease was very public and his comeback to wrestling after fighting off the ailment was a triumphant affair involving his entire immediate family.”

Pro Bro and Arthur, remember neck slapping Zaki throwing flinging and catching pieces of wood at technical class and imitating Hacksaw Jim Duggan?

It was the age of innocence, where ‘Ho!’ didn’t mean what it does today.

“The New World Order (commonly known as nWo, the official typeset in the logo) was a professional wrestling stable that originally wrestled for World Championship Wrestling (WCW). The group later appeared in World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment (WWF/E) after the purchase of WCW by WWF.

The stable’s gimmick was a group of wrestlers aiming to “take over” and control WCW. They would first emerge in mid-1996. Throughout the late-1990s, there were several incarnations of the nWo. The nWo was one of the most influential forces in the success of WCW.”

I read that Scott Steiner almost died recently from a wrestling injury to his trachea. All’s fine now and he’s actually back wrestling. And he’s using the Frankensteiner again.

No seriously, do wrestlers and feather boas go hand in hand? The NWO gimmick was fun, but seeing a wrestler, who was an icon for a generation, prancing around with a feather boa really raised a lot of questions about the Hulkster.

Then I realised that getting in touch with his feminine side isn’t new to him, having done so before, most notably in this movie.

Check out what’s the warrior up to these days at his blog.

From Wiki…

Warrior speaking recently (April 2006) at DePaul University

“Warrior officially retired from wrestling in 1999. He found a new career as a conservative speaker and commentator, denouncing left-wing politics. Most notably, he mentioned that “queering doesn’t make the world work” (44:20-46:50 of the video) during a speech at the University of Connecticut. Warrior has explained those comments on his website as meaning that the human race would die out if everyone were a homosexual. He also attempted to explain this during the speech but it was difficult to hear as he was being shouted over at the time.”
