[edit] Memories of The Brute
The Brute came across as a mindless villain when I first saw him on All-Star Wrestling in 1971. He would punctuate his sentences with high-pitched giggles. According to Ron Morrier, he was previously called "El Brute." Other wrestlers liked to threaten him ("I'm gonna get you, peabrain!" -- John Quinn; "Brute, I'm going to drop you, and how!" -- Sean Regan). There was quite a rivalry between The Brute and Regan.
A friend worked as an usher at Memorial Arena in Victoria from 1972 to 1974; according to him, The Brute was a perfect gentleman outside the ring. Word of that may have spread; over time, he downplayed his mindless act and became more of a hammy antagonist -- entertaining at interviews and tough in the ring.Tony 08:56, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
