Most of you know my excellent friend Justin Leeper as a former videogame journalist for Game Informer and a former writer for the stellar SmackDown vs. Raw series. In addition to penning the book Still Man Fights, Justin has been working in Hollywood as an actor and stuntman. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit Justin’s days as a pro-wrestler. Below is a match between Helmut Von Strauss (Justin) and “Kamikaze” Ken Anderson (Mr. Kennedy in WWE). Skip to the 9:15 mark for the introductions to Justin’s match and let me know what you think (please!).
Mr Kennedy used to do swantons!!!
Wow! What a nice thing you did! And here I didn’t see it until just now – almost 6 months later.
That match was interesting. In “rehearsals” Ken cupped me in the ear with a punch. Then on his swanton, he landed right on my bladder. Thankfully, I had peed out in the snow before the match.
I’m not complaining; in my wrestling career, I did a lot more stiffing others than getting stiffed myself.
Miss you, bud. It’s been too long.
