♥ STRAIGHT FROM THE HART ♥

which would become a serious bone of contention among the rest of the crew when they found out.

Because my dad had invested a lot of money in them and also because he was trying to appease Davey and Dynamite who’d sent them our way, he kept admonishing me to push the muscleheads, which proved to be an exercise in futility as their work was the shits and they were also routinely injuring the smaller guys, including Pillman, who sustained a separated shoulder that would keep him on the shelf for several months.

After a while, with most of our smaller guys reluctant to work with the muscleheads, I had to eventually begin pairing them against each other — which was kind of like watching those godawful Godzilla vs. King Kong monster movies from the 1950s.

Since that wasn’t working and my dad was still insistent on keeping them around, it was back to the drawing board. I figured that since Kazmaier and Arcidi were bona fide legends in the weightlifting realm, perhaps we could have a weightlifting contest, which might garner some interest and, from there, we could perhaps shoot some kind of angle, for them to start a feud.

My dad, Kazmaier and Arcidi all seemed to like the idea, so we had Arcidi, a heel, challenge Kazmaier, a face, to a weightlifting contest to determine once and for all who was the strongest man in wrestling. Because both of them were legitimate legends, at least among weightlifting aficionados, we drew a pretty good house to see the big showdown. Unfortunately, the weightlifting contest — which for some reason has since come to be called “Bill and Ted’s Bogus Adventure” — would turn into a comedy of errors, with almost every conceivable thing that could go wrong, going wrong, including Kazmaier fainting. If you ever get a chance to watch that abortion, perhaps on YouTube, you’ll know what I mean.

In its own way, that skit actually had a positive effect, as it seemed to open my dad’s eyes to the folly of pushing the muscleheads. He soon sent Arcidi, Kazmaier and the rest of the musclehead misfits packing. We were finally at liberty to begin really concentrating on the young up-and-coming guys in the territory — much like in the early ’80s, when guys like Bret, Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy had been given the ball and allowed to run with it.
