Most likely I can produce a good quality 150x150 image despite you only have a low quality and small size picture. So feel free to images for rare wrestlers. The pictures can even be black and white (since it's so easy to colorize them). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that would be helpful. Is the Bruti image from the Boulder Brothers era or when he was Dizzy Hogan / Eddie Hogan? I assume this Hangmen version is Bull Pain and Mean Mark (and not Tough Tom) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubikiri Asa Posted June 23, 2023 Author Share Posted June 23, 2023 Anyone knows the identity of Texas Hangmen's manager? So that I can add him into the 1993 and 1994 databases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% sure but it could be a young and clean shaven Rico Suave who managed them in Puerto Rico? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that being said the tag titles don't look like the WCPW tag titles but I don't believe JR Dallas managed them in PR.

They don't look like the WWC tag titles either. I can't work out where the flag on the side page is meant to represent. Wasn't El Profe managing them for a bit in PR during the early 1990s (which I'd guess this pic is from), not sure when Rico started or ended working with them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mammoth Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 No, they're definitely not the WWC Tag Team or the WWC Caribbean Tag Team titles. Rico Suave was managing around the early-90s for both WWC and the Americas Wrestling Federation run by Hércules Ayala, Chicky Starr, Hugo Savinovich and Gloria Uribe though. Could it be possible that the belts are from the AWF, as very little information is known about the promotion and it wouldn't have surprised me at all to see guys like The Texas Hangmen do well there? I don't know, facially - as in shape and what have you - he just screams Rico Suave to me. I presume that picture is after it's been upscaled, @Kubikiri Asa? Have you got the original as well, just in case the AI has changed the detail in the title belts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alvarasus Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 No that's Windy City Tag Team titles in that photo. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhd1 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Thanks @alvarasus. I'm convinced it's JR. As for the image, @Mammoth, it's not upscaled, you can find the original on Facebook although it doesn't include the names of anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubikiri Asa Posted June 24, 2023 Author Share Posted June 24, 2023 Looks like JR Dallas also managed Candi Devine in WCPW, so I added that chemistry as well in the databases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaysin Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Pic 1: Road Warriors/Paul Ellering. Love this paint design. Pic 2: Russ and Charlie Haas. One of the better pics I've seen of Russ and a good pic of young Charlie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stennick Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 Nice find with that one @Kubikiri Asa T. Rantula is a guy I always hire in my 90's saves. I hadn't noticed the eye screw up until you mentioned it but good fix. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
