• Old School WWF Legend Celebrates His Birthday

Old School WWF Legend The Honky Tonk Man (Real name: Roy Wayne Farris) celebrates his birthday today.

The Honky Tonk Man wrestled for the World Wrestling Federation from September 1986 until January 1991, then worked for Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling for the second half of 1994, before he returned to the WWF, this time as an occasional part-timer, from 1997 to 2001.

Honky is still the record holder as the longest reigning WWF Intercontinental Champion of all time, and let’s not forget he’s also the real life cousin of fellow Old School Wrestling Legend Jerry “The King” Lawler.

In 2019 he was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame by his former manager “The Mouth of the South” Jimmy Hart.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONKY TONK MAN!

• Old School WCW Diva Celebrates Her Birthday

Old School WCW Diva Gorgeous George (Real name: Stephanie Bellars) celebrates her birthday today.

In 1999 she appeared as the valet of her real life boyfriend at that time, “The Macho Man” Randy Savage, and therefore has been a member of his ‘Team Madness’ faction with Savage, Sid Vicious, Miss Madness (Molly Holly) & Madusa.

When they broke up in the fall of 1999, she left the promotion and continued to appear on the independent scene (following brief runs in ECW & TNA), where she was known as George Frankenstein, because Savage held the contractual trademark rights of the “Gorgeous George” name.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GORGEOUS GEORGE!
