I currently teach English in Japan. Hacksaw Jim Duggan now belongs to a Japanese wrestling league that tours the country. Alongside him are Ted DiBiase (The million dollar man), Kamala the Ugandan Giant, Animal (from Legion of Doom) and a few WCW guys who's names escape me at the moment. Anyway I used to teach in a podunk little town of about 75000 (that's TINY for Japan!). I saw a poster for a wrestling event to be held at my city gym. Hacksaw Jim Duggan and the others were to be featured. When I say "gym", I mean like grade school gym...basketball nets, peeling rubberized floors and filthy equipment stowed away under the stage. It was 500yen (roughly 5 Canadian dollars!). How could I resist??
The gym had a pretty authentic wrestling ring set up. The fan turnout was absolutely pitiful...roughly 30 people all said. The card had all the american wrestlers vs. the japanese wrestlers. The latter were just pathetic...they looked as if they subsisted on nothing but rice and miso soup. They couldnt take a fall or execute any kind of convincing manoever.
Duggan, however, was a complete bad-ass. He absolutely TOOLED the japs. Although somewhat pudgy at his advanced age, Jim Duggan is a BIG man...probably 6`3 and 260 pounds. The japs were like half his size. Duggan had no pity though...NO PITY! Did his famous clothesline, did his football tackle, and finally polished them off with his 2x4. He really let them have it...there was no holding back. One of the japs had a bleeding welt on his chest that indicated this.
After the match there was an autograph signing booth. I got to meet Duggan, DiBiase, Kamala and Animal. DiBiase struck me as a very bright guy. He mentioned that he now operates a church (!) but he didn't seem preachy in any way. I asked him about Virgil (his black slave from the past)...he just laughed and said they no longer keep in touch.
Kamala was an absolutely horrifying individual. He spoke in broken sentance fragments and routinely grunted for no apparant reason. I'm fairly certain he is, in fact, a Ugandan Cannibal.
Animal told me he was from Missisauga, Ontario...which is a stones throw from my hometown (Burlington). Really cool guy.
Duggan was the absolute tits. He, myself, and three other teachers from my school went to a local bar and got wasted. What a funny guy. Told us that "Hercules" was the toughest guy ever to enter the WWF. Mentioned that "Koko B-ware" used to bitch slap his parrot and giggle incoherently. The stories and dirt were endless...i could start a whole thread of them. Apparantly he was pretty good friends with "Ravishing Rick Rude" and was worried about his drug use. Rick OD'd shortly after I met Duggan.
The night went well until one of the female teachers at my school...a beautiful Canadian girl...entered the bar. Duggan's persona changed completely. He was bowing and curtseying to this girl. He introduced himself as "James Duggan" and mentioned that he used to play pro football. He later tried to get her back to the tour bus with him. She refused, after which Duggan became cool again.
The man can hold his beer. We did a "nomi-ho-dai" (Japanese for all-you-can-drink...you pay a set price for 2 hours and get all the drinks you want) and Duggan managed about 25 "dai-jockeys" (one dai jockey is like 900ml) of beer.

the fact that you know so much about wrestling is nagging at me to ask the question "do they have trailer parks in japan?!"  hehe sorry couldnt resist. wrestling is just so fake and around here i go to a park to hook up the cable and all the kids and adults are wearing NWO tshirts and crap with their mullets and natural light decor

Japan doesn't really have trailer parks per se...more like "high density housing units" where kids sleep in drawers. Wrestling is popular everywhere here though. There's this pro wrestler called "Tiger Mask" who is as well known as any hollywood celebrity.
But yeah as a whole wrestling is pure trailer trash entertainment...especially nowadays. When I was growing up it was different. Well not really, it was still trash...but whenever an 80`s wrestler is mentioned I get very nostalgic. Lots of life lessons were learned through the wise words and noble actions of "Jake the Snake" and "Mr. Fuji"
