I believe we're starting off with a flashback ... To the mic ...
"Indeed...A quick shout out to one of the all time great masked wrestlers in pro wrestling history. The great Don Jardine. The Spoiler & Super Destroyer himself."
He came off legit and credible. Protected his gimmick very well. Spoke his mind. Knew it was business. Only saw Jardine, as The Spoiler, briefly. In GCW from January 1984 - Black Saturday July 1984. To the WWF in August 1984 - November 1985. Mostly house shows / TV squashes. A short run in World Class in 1987, where he taught the future Undertaker a thing or two, wound up the career. Masked Superstar remains my favorite masked wrestler. The Spoiler is a strong second. 👍
Music break ...
"Vault services for comics and cards? Nope. End Line Collector here. I'm my own vault"
Reverend Ike ...
The Greatest Show on Turf. The Rams from 99-01. Maybe 99-03. Talent on offense was overflowing. Warner, Faulk, Holt. And another WR. Isaac Bruce. Isaac Bruce was a near perfect WR for the Vermeil/Martz Rams teams. He worked hard to make himself into a great player. His route-running was sharp, precise. Near, in my opinion, the level of Jerry Rice's route-running. Great hands. Sudden off the line, sudden on cuts. Send him in motion and get isolation on LB'S or Safety's and he would make the defense pay.
His Career Numbers
1024 Receptions 15,208 Yards 91 Touchdowns
More importantly, the man himself. All class. On and off the field and post retirement.
Becoming the first Memphis Tiger elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2020.
His 1994 Bowman Rookie Card. Great look.
Has some great looking Ultra issues
Off into the wild till later ...
