Is it true you almost took the wrestling name Baron von Pumpkin?

Yes. [Frequent wrestling partner] Mad Dog said that’d be a good name for me. I was almost naïve enough to say “sure.”

That's hilarious - that's EXACTLY where I got that trivia question!
;D

Damn, that guy was one of my favorites.
Cracked me up every time when he got whacked around and then started doing those high steps and put 'the claw' on the opponents.
Funny stuff, use to watch that with my grandpa.

Do you have any hard questions that people don't get right away?
