Imagine what he can do to you
Closet rasslin' fan? You gotta' know yer rasslin' to be familiar with that phrase.
I saw Street in a match here at the Houston County Farm Center. He might be all of 5'8". He is actually married to the lady who was his "manager".
I told this story a while back on here, but I'm sure everyone is dying to hear it again. We had a breakfast crew that used to meet most weekday mornings at a local restaurant. One of them invited Charlie Platt to join us one day. Charlie is one of those long time local personalities that's had a morning talk show, but is most notable for being the on air announcer for Southeast Championship Wrestling for quite a few years. He told some of the craziest stories about so many of the wrestlers, but one involving Bullet Bob was my favorite.
They were filming their Saturday show and Charlie's wife was pregnant and ready to pop at any second. Right in the middle of filming, he got word that she was on the way to the hospital. They had to come up with a quick story line to get him out of there, so they set up an interview with Armstrong, who was playing a heel at the time. During the interview, Armstrong got pissed at Platt and decked him. They carried him out on a stretcher so he could get out of there and on to the hospital.
He said he and his wife were in a room when the hospital administrator called him and said, "You've got to do something. All our phone lines are tied up with people trying to find out how you are." So Platt gets with the TV station and has them run something on the scroll that says Charlie is recovering and should be released soon. He thanks you for the well wishes."
He then said a bunch of Army Reserve guys from the local Armory showed up and asked him where Armstrong was staying because they were about to whip some Bullet Bob ass.
