Pepper was my all time favorite. "The Mexican Cradle". Sad story:
A few years ago, forget how many, I found a website that gave a short bio of all those old time wrestlers, wrestlers from across the USA. I was looking specifically for Pepper... and discovered, he had died just a few days before I found the website.
Ray Stevens, "Pencil Necked' Geeks".
Saw Pepper at a show at our local Veteran's Memorial Building.
You've got your wrestling heels a little mixed up. It was Freddie Blassie who coined the term "pencil necked geek."
I'm sure you remember they used to film the local shows at the Channel 47 studios off Shaw across from Fresno St.
