When wrestling met rock
Share
Please Kill Me blog dug deep into the history of wrestling to unearth three fine instances when wrestling met rock & roll. Maybe the strangest of them is the curious case of "Classy” Freddie Blassie - a star in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) in the 1960s and 1970s with his foul-mouthed tirades against his opponents, and his physical aggression in the ring. Musician and wrestling fan Johnny Legend thought that Blassie’s rants would make a great record, although Blassie, according to his own words, "couldn’t keep a beat and never even sang in the shower". They made 'Pencil Neck Geek', a mouthy song successful in underground circles; listen below.
