OT: Little Big Man

[youngman42]

Two other old school guys came to mind with Murphy:

1. Yvon Cornoyer (pronounced Cornwyay for you young-uns ). 5'7. Montreal Canadiens - won 10 Stanley Cups with the Habs. 10! Including the Conn Smythe trophy in '73 and was captain during the great Canadiens run of 5 cups during the 70's.

There's another but I'll try to wait a day or two to name him in case someone else comes up with the name.

El Torito was a funny gimmick he dressed up like a bull and was the mascot of Los Matadors and would run around the ring acting like a bull lol

I remember them and how WWE really didn’t want to let the Doink character go so they just kept having different wrestlers wear the costume. They did the same with Sin Cara in recent years.

And crushed my heart in 1991

 

[Hurley22]

Let's not forget about Earl Boykins (unless someone has already mentioned him). 5'5" and had a great college and NBA career. He actually lit us up for 23 points in the NCAA tournament when Eastern Michigan beat a hobbled Chris Collins led Duke team. I believe Collins had broken his foot and wasn't 100%.

I just looked up his Wikipedia page and it said that when he died only one major league player came to his funeral was Bob Cain, he was the pitcher that walked Eddie Gaedel in his only major league at bat.
