• Old School WWF Legend Celebrates His Birthday
Old School WWF Legend Tatanka (Real name: Chris Chavis) celebrates his birthday today.
After wrestling several house show matches in 1991, Tatanka made his televised World Wrestling Federation debut on the February 1, 1992, episode of WWF Superstars and managed to have one of the greatest and most memorable undefeated streaks in professional wrestling history, before Ludvig Borga beat him after almost 2 years.
Tatanka continued to wrestle for the WWF until early 1996 after a heel turn at SummerSlam 1994, where he joined “The Million Dollar Man” Ted Dibiase’s Million Dollar Corporation stable.
He returned to the now renamed WWE for another run from 2005 till 2007 and has also returned occasionally since then, usually for “Old School” specials like “Old School RAW” episodes or Battle Royals.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TATANKA!
