Welcome to Crossbody of Work, a show where we break down a wrestler’s career through five of their biggest matches.
This week we go back to the 70’s and 80’s to look at one of the best babyfaces in wrestling, the Junkyard Dog. Sylvester Ritter was one of the biggest stars of Mid-South Wrestling. We take a look at his work starting all the way back in Stampede Wrestling and ending in the WWF. Matches against Jim Neidhart, Randy Savage and Ted DiBiase are all on our card. On top of the matches, Evan & Javier also talk about:
- The death of kayfabe
- Dog the Bounty Hunter
- John Wick
- Shorts & longjohns
- Cats being assholes
And a lot more.
