Rewind: Mark Fleming
Some readers of this blog may remember a time when professional wrestlers were typically very large and stocky strongmen. Some were former football players while others had amateur wrestling backgrounds, One wrestler who excelled at both is Mark Fleming from Virginia, USA. Fleming was a top-notch football player and wrestler in high school; he skipped college and went into professional wrestling in the early 1980s through Crockett Promotions. Fleming wrestled for several promotions in the 1980s, most notably The National Wrestling Alliance (NWA), the American Wrestling Association (AWA), and Mid-Atlantic Championship Wrestling, among others. At the height of his career, he stood 6'1" (185 cm) and weighed 255 lbs (116 kg). After Fleming retired from the squared circle in the early 1990s, he put up a weightlifting gym and wrote a memoir called "It's Wrestling, Not Rasslin." He's now sixty years old. You can read more about his in-ring career here.

ReplyDeleteAgree! and he is really well-represented in match videos. Glad to know he is alive and well. He always looked good, especially since he didn't go with the crowd and grow a mullet! Anon.
DeleteAll Time Favorite Professional Wrestler! The face, the body he was amazing wish he had gotten more of a push.
ReplyDeleteGuys like him are, to this day, my gold standard of what I find attractive in a man. Big strong body, some fur, and swagger. I love the old matches for that reason. New matches and new talent are fun as well, but I always go back to my faves.
ReplyDeleteVery handsome and beefcakey in a different way than typically featured here. Really loving the variety in these posts!
