Fifteen Years Ago
One of my all-time favorite wrestlers to watch was “Iceman” John Black. He and Adam Pearce are the only two wrestlers I can remember who could regularly generate that type of heat that had people in the crowd actually wanting to kill them. One time at a WCWA show Iceman had so enraged the crowd a fan decided to rush the ring. Iceman absolutely destroyed him. His feud with Babi Slymm had that venue on the verge of rioting every show. He became a big fan of MMA, and later did some MMA fights and tried to start a worked shoot promotion in Southern California. I had a chance to interview him in 2002.
