From: Dave the Gnome I remember a thread started by a guy who called himself Big Bad John who was hoping to become a WWF 'superstar'. Anyone know if this is the man himself? Click here and then click on 'Superstars' and 'Big Bad John'. He does list his favourite band as Metalica which may not be folk but sure shows he has good taste - just like me...:-) If you are still lurking out there BBJ let us know! Cheers DtG |

From: SharonA Oh, come now, DtheG, you don't suppose that a wrestling website would say on the guy's profile that his favorite band was "J.D. Crowe and the New South" or "Beau Soleil", do you? That wouldn't be cool enough for them; they wouldn't think it would attract their target audience! ...but I wouldn't be surprised if they were wrong...*G* |

But I seem to remember he started off and did some work on low pay to get the name sort of established, then WWF basically took the name off him and gave it to someone else. So the WWF BBJ isn't the original BBJ off here. Graham. |

From: M.Ted It could be him--I hope it is, and that he is back on his career track-- he was a genuine traditional musician and a genuine nice guy, as well--I love the way he pointed out that professional wrestling and professional folk music has some strong common points! (thanks for posting the link to his posts, Jeri!) |
