2014/10/27 15:07 | Uncle Eddie had a lot of great stories. He and Mike Mazurki were friends. They went to California and a body builder on muscle beach made fun of them. Their buddy a little Greek wrestler picked up his weights and threw them in the ocean! Bodybuilder cried and begged them not to hurt him as the crowd laughed. Eddie escaped from the Japanese in WWII, he always wore a shark's tooth from the natives on that island. |
