Which wrestler was an extra in the movie "Rudy"

Bad News Gertner 09-10-2015 12:15 AM

Googled it. I've seen this movie numerous times and didn't know that. Wow.

SlickyTrickyDamon 09-10-2015 12:38 AM

Googled both but didn't get Gerties yet.

Mr. Nerfect 09-10-2015 06:55 AM

I don't know the Rudy one. Gonna guess it was like a young John Cena or something, even though you'd think you would have heard of that.

Fun fact: John Cena was an extra in Ready to Rumble.

Nope, older than John Cena.

Sixx 09-10-2015 10:31 AM

Savio, noone's gonna know it, without looking it up.

I checked and I'd never even think of this guy.

Innovator 09-10-2015 12:37 PM

Dexy's Midnight Runners?

When I googled top 1 songs from 83 I saw this, gave it a listen and decided that's way too pussy to be on Piper's Pit.

Alright Big hint:

This same guy also had many "Managers".

Big Vic 09-10-2015 12:47 PM

I honestly thought it was common knowledge he was in it, Pretty sure I read it from one of foley's books.

Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart.

Sixx 09-10-2015 01:49 PM

It didn't reach #1 on Billboard till 1984, though.

Just googled it. Technically, they're 2 wrestler cameos

Big Vic 09-10-2015 02:41 PM

Fine, Al snow was one who was the other?

Sixx 09-10-2015 02:43 PM

dan severn

Mr. Nerfect 09-12-2015 03:01 AM

I'm looking for something that connects Dean Malenko, Jamie Noble and Dean Ambrose. Beyond them just being male American wrestlers who work for WWE.

Rollermacka 09-12-2015 05:54 PM

Who were the two legitimately born in the Soviet Union wrestlers to wrestle for an American wrestling company durring the cold war?

Bad News Gertner 09-12-2015 07:25 PM

Ivan Koloff was born in Russia, but raised in Canada. Fuck....I can't think of the other. I know Volkoff was born in Croatia.

SlickyTrickyDamon 09-12-2015 10:03 PM

Ivan was born in Montreal Quebec.

SlickyTrickyDamon 09-12-2015 10:05 PM

I donut think there is an answer to this.

Bad News Gertner 09-12-2015 11:19 PM

No he was born in Russia and moved to Quebec when he was 6

I'm pretty sure Ivan was born in Canada, he's not who I was talking about.

DAMN iNATOR 09-13-2015 03:20 PM

I'm gonna go modern era here and guess Vladimir Kozlov and Rusev?

SlickyTrickyDamon 09-13-2015 03:21 PM

Bulgarian Brute. Also the Cold War ended in 1991.

DAMN iNATOR 09-13-2015 03:26 PM

I was just thinking Bulgaria and Ukraine could loosely fit the bill, depending on when they were born. I know Rusev was born Christmas Day 1985, no idea about Kozlov.

There's the 2nd part of the question. Wrestled during cold war.

So why bother with Rusev or Kozlov?

Rollermacka 09-13-2015 11:22 PM

I'll give one hint: WCW

Sixx 09-14-2015 06:15 AM

Tell us when we can google, cause I think I already found the answer.

I've never even heard of those guys before.

If you googled it, go ahead and say it then (it is a very obscure fact)

Big Vic 09-14-2015 01:07 PM

Yup was watching Starrcade 90 the other day and was wondering why the Koloffs or the Bolsheviks etc weren't used.... I haven't found any other legitimately Soviet athletes that wrestled in the United States besides these two

Sixx 09-14-2015 01:48 PM

Yeah, pretty obscure. Starcade was their only appearance in WCW from what I've read.
