Wahoo
McDaniel's in-ring career is truly legendary. As Tully Blanchard says,
"Some guys could draw money in their little area... But Wahoo
McDaniel was a star everywhere he went."
What
fans didn't see was his generosity. If you were a young wrestler and
struggling, you could always depend on Wahoo for a ride. He was
generous with his talent. He would show up early and work out with
young wrestlers. He was quick to recommend new talent. He would help
make a new star in the ring.
In
addition to his in-ring contributions, Wahoo McDaniel’s
behind-the-scenes influence as a booker, trainer, and talent scout has
helped shape the course that the wrestling industry has taken in the
past three decades. He is a legend. He is a champion.
This
is a multi-media tribute to the legendary career of Wahoo McDaniel.
