The two dwarfs were Sky Low Low and Little Boy Blue.

No. Cowboy Bob Ellis was in the IWA with the Mighty Igor, Mil Mascaras, etc. This was shown on the NTA in the late '70s and early '80s.

While Cowboy Bob Orton was in the WWF with Andre The Giant, Chief Jay Strongbow, Blackjack Mulligan, etc. This was shown on the NTA in the early 1980s.

These four wrestlers were once among the most famous wrestlers on Nigerian television. Three of them actually fought in Nigeria at different times. Can you name them.

1) Here they are in cartoon form.

2) These are live pictures of the same wrestlers.

Yeah. He was initially in the NWA then he moved to the WWF.

Some believe that he got his gimmick (polish strongman) from the Mighty Igor.

David, Kevin, Kerry (The Modern Day Warrior), Lance (their cousin) and Michael (the youngest. He joined them later).

The Von Erichs vs the Freebirds was the biggest feud in that organisation.

I am surprised Shawn Michaels is ranked above Superfly in highflying.

Superfly flied sparingly in the wrestling proper. His finishing was all about flying.

The Hot break kid was something else...his moves were majorly air moves...he at times enters the ring side from a suspended rope..
