• Old School Wrestling Veteran Would Have Celebrated His Birthday
Today would have been the birthday of Old School Wrestling Veteran ‘Mr.’ Masa Saito (Real name: Masanori Saito).
Mr. Saito won the World Wrestling Federation Tag Team titles on 2 occasions with his Tag Partner, the late great Mr. Fuji.
He had successful runs in a lot of different promotions over the years, but his biggest claim to fame is probably the infamous McDonalds incident, where he and Ken Patera got arrested in 1984.
Saito became the AWA World Heavyweight Champion in 1990 by defeating Larry Zbyszko, but lost it back to him a few weeks later at SuperClash 4.
He passed away on July 14th 2018 at the age of 76 due to complications of Parkinson’s disease
HAPPY BIRTHDAY & REST IN PEACE!
February 1, 1942 – July 14, 2018

• Old School NWA Veteran Celebrates His Birthday
Old School Wrestling Veteran Dennis Condrey celebrates his birthday today.
In 1980 Dennis founded the original version of the legendary Pro Wrestling Tag Team ‘The Midnight Express’ with his Team partner Randy Rose, but later on in 1984 Rose was replaced with Bobby Eaton and they added Jim Cornette as their manager.
The Midnight Express is still considered one of the most famous Tag Teams in Wrestling history and nobody will be surprised, once they will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame one day, although knowing WWE, they will probably induct the more famous later version of the team, where Condrey was already replaced with Stan Lane.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DENNIS CONDREY!
