The Munchkin Man lived in NWA territory most of his life.
If you lived primarily in WWF territory, then you probably do have more memories of WWF trivia than the Munchkin Man does.
On the other hand, the Munchkin Man remembers Lou Albano very well, even going back to the 1960s, when he wrestled as a member of the tag team known as The Sicilians, along with his partner, Tony Altimore. During a few brief visits to various NWA territories, they called themselves The Sicilian Assasins.
Their gimmick was one of a Mafia gangster act. According to the Munchkin Man's sources, they played their roles with so much realism, that certain Mafia figures got upset and actually intervened by asking them to tone down their act.
This was back in the days when the WWF existed under the moniker of the WWWF (The World Wide Wrestling Federation).
As a WWF trivia buff, the Munchkin Man is sure you know that the transition from the WWWF to the WWF took place in the year 1979.
Getting back to Lou Albano, the Munchkin Man has a friend who once met Lou Abano in Cancun almost 20 years ago, where they got their picture taken together at the beach.
Lou Albano gave his personal home telephone number to the Munchkin Man's friend, who later gave it to the Munchkin Man himself. Unfortunately, the Munchkin Man lost it.
The Munchkin Man's friend also gave the Munchkin Man the photograph as well, which is still lying around somewhere. If the Munchkin Man can find it, maybe the Munchkin Man will post it here.
The Munchkin Man also remembers the Mongols, of which there were several versions, as well as Mr. Fuji and Toru Tanaka, and many others. However, Mr. Fuji's primary tag team partner was Mr. Saito.
As a WWF trivia buff, the Munchkin Man is sure you know that Captain Lou Albano was Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka's first manager when he made his debut in the WWF.
Thanks again for the WWF trivia and the memories they evoked for the Munchkin Man.
Feel free to keep it coming.
Happy Holidays!
Munchkin Man
