hey joe,...

speaking of eddie gilbert and old footage.
here is a young eddie versus the enigmatic hof legend the sheik.

sheik cuts an incredible promo.
that as a kid, made you hate his guts and this was right after hogun took the title.
so, this is like one of the first few episodes I probably watched as a kid.
this takes me back, because this was before eddie was hotstuff.
plus, shows how great blassy and sheik were, as heels....
sheik's tights were ahead of their time and totally swagged out.
shyt looks like a pair of pe bron's..!!

just sheilk's flag waving and blassy's mannerism = heat machine!!!
