[edit] The original Mean Gene was Gene Kiniski!

Mean Gene currently redirects here, but AFAIK it was Gene Kiniski who was the original Mean Gene. I put a simialr query on Kinisiki's page, where IMO there should be a ref to Kiniski's previous use of the nickname here before Okerlund used it, or even a dab page.Skookum1 21:59, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

At most put a reference on the Kiniski page, since it's Gene Okerlund who most wrestling fans think off when they hear "MEan" Gene - Kiniski is usually referred to by his real name in managzines and the few wrestling history books I've ready MPJ-DK 11:53, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
