– Old School NWA Veteran Mark Youngblood turns 54 today.

Their team managed to win the NWA Florida Tag Team Championship in the famous NWA territory CWF Championship Wrestling from Florida.

– Old School WWF Attitude Era Veteran Giant Silva turns 54 today.

While Giant Silva was quite a big name in Puroresu Wrestling (Japanese Wrestling), where he competed for NJPW & Hustle from 2000 till 2008, he never made it past mid-card status in the World Wrestling Federation.

During his 1998-1999 WWF career, Silva was a member of a comedy stable, called The Oddities.

Happy Birthday Giant Silva!

– Old School WWF Attitude Era Veteran “Meat” Shawn Stasiak turns 47 today.

Second generation superstar Shawn Stasiak is the son of former WWWF World Heavyweight Champion Stan “The Man” Stasiak.

During his 1999 WWF stint he was the boy-toy of the PMS Pretty Mean Sisters consisting of Terri Runnels, Jacqueline & Ryan Shamrock, but Shawn’s biggest claim to fame was losing to Kurt Angle in Kurt’s WWF debut match at the Survivor Series 1999 PPV.
