DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Show: The Saga of Manny Fernandez
Today’s show is a new DragonKingKarl Ultimate History of Pro Wrestling special — The Saga of Manny Fernandez.
Manny is an old-school wrestler who has told a lot of tales. He has the reputation of being — how can I put this, a perpetual liar. I am going to examine three of the most often repeated tales of Manny: that he was a Navy SEAL in Vietnam, that he played pro football, and that he shot on Invader 3 in revenge for the killing of Bruiser Brody. You’ll be surprised by both the fantasy and the truth!
