Asian/Pacific Islander Heritage Month- Remembering Gorilla Monsoon

[Polishprince]

Monsoon immigrated to this country from Manchuria in the early 1960's and rose to the very top of Professional Wrestling.

Time to salute the greatest athlete ever to come from Manchuria.

Heard a lot of stories too that people who would go to the WWF and have a hard time fitting in, getting along with folk or even outright bullied he'd step in and make sure it stopped because he commanded so much respect he could do it and help folk out who were struggling with no comeback on either him or the person he was helping.

Says a lot about him as a man too that he adopted a son that wasn't his and raised him like his own. That takes a man.

Gorilla Monsoon. There's a flashback to my childhood. One of the most memorable names for some reason too.

Gorilla Monsoon - Wikipedia Heres Info. on him. I never seen him perform but know who he is. That's called having celebrity status!
