/*   */
  
The wrestlers in the video for GOONIES are:
  
-Man with rubber bands hanging out of his beard/face-Captain Lou Albano,
 wrestling promoter and Cyndi's mentor.
  
-Idiot wearing the kilt-"Rowdy" Roddy Piper.
  
-Guy dressed as a sheik-obviously, the "Iron Sheik";not to be confused with the
 original Sheik.
  
-Russian guy milking the fake cow-Nikolai Volkov, the Iron Sheik's tag-team
 partner.
  
The older gentleman in the video is a "bad guy" from the earlier days of
wrestling; can't seem to recall his name at the moment.

on John Stossel on 20/20, was that a put-on? When Hulk Hogan cracked "Rowdy"
Roddy Piper's and Paul "Mr. Wonderful" Orndorff's skulls together in Wrestle-
Mania, was that a put on????? I'll take your VHS Hi-Fi and stick it up your noseif you say that again! Better yet-I'm gonna call my old buddy Dick The Bruiser
here in Detriot, and we'll take you and that guy in the skirt down to the
air-conditioned Cobo Arena, and we'll show you what's a put-on! I'll smash
your face in the turnbuckle, you non-believer! Then I'll ....(rant-rave :->)
