• Old School WWF Veteran Celebrates His Birthday
Old School Wrestling Veteran “Wild” Bill Irwin a.k.a The Goon (Real name: Barney Irwin) celebrates his 65th birthday today.

At WCW SuperBrawl III, he wrestled “The British Bulldog” Davey Boy Smith in one of his sporadic appearances for Ted Turner’s World Championship Wrestling.
