Our last tag team pairing is the Von Brauner Brothers. They have appeared here before with
a champitonship trophy, but they weren't really brothers. (Actual names were Jimmy Brawner
and Doug Donovan.) The two teamed up when a fellow wrestler told them they looked
remarkably alike, and they adopted a Teutonic bad guy schtick, 1960-65.
Once upon a time I was a fan of wrestling, or was I a fan of wrestlers that looked like these guys? Probably the latter! If I was in a ring with any of these guys I wonder if they would be impressed by the moves I would be making! Great set!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Pat!
DeleteThanks for another great concept set. I remember these guys with their Kaiser Wilhelm mustaches. Another furry grappler of yore, Dirty Dutch Mantell, was an 1980s fave-Dee Exx
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Dee! I can remember seeing Fritz von Eric on TV as a we lad on the ranch in Texas.
