Anyone remember Big Ron Studd aka The Yeti?

So I just found out today that the really tall guy who comes in and delivers wine every so often is actually Big Ron Studd aka The Yeti. I work at Publix which is a grocery store, and this guy works for some wine company or something and he delivers the wine in once a week or once every two weeks.


Some videos of him.

Yeah I do.

Through my WCW watching I remember seeing him make 2 appearances as The Yeti, once to help The Giant beat Hogan and once in a World War 3 Battle Royal.  After that he went under the guise of Big Ron Studd and jobbed on the show before the PPV to whoever was going to face The Giant.  After that he became known as Reese and joined The Flock, I'm watching that stuff at the moment.

I talked to him today. He was in the store, and when it was not busy I talked to him.

He said when he first wrestled in Japan he was wrestling with Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit. He actually fought Benoit. He said he liked Goldberg a lot. He also mentioned that he would like to see some sort of match with Goldberg and Stone Cold for Wrestlemania 27. He said that Stone Cold would wrestle another match if it meant he could kick Goldberg's ass. I disagreed with him on that.

I asked if he ever meet Taker or any of those other WWE guys not in WCW, and he said no. He said he meet Kane once.

This guy is a really nice guy. Easy to talk to, but man is he tall.

Cool.

Here's my most recent upload involving him, his first match on Nitro under the guise of Reese.

Please...

Austin doesn't give two **** about Goldberg. Goldberg is barely a blip on wrestling's radar. The only time that match would have meant anything is 1998-99.  Even IF the match was scheduled, probably around 99.9% of wrestling fans wouldn't even consider it a dream match. This current generation would have to be given a fresh history lesson on the WCW/WWF Monday Night Wars and be told that Goldberg was WCW's equivalent to Austin for a few months.

It's just not worth the money to resign him and waste airtime on history lessons just to have a 5 or 10 minute match on a PPV.

In hindsight, he should consider himself lucky that Vince even bothered to sign him in the first place.

^ To be honest, even though his WWE run fell flat, the hype before he debuted when their were rumblings about him joining were big, and the hype going into his match with Lesnar was big, and that was '03-'04, people still cared about him then, and booked right he could have been credible, fast forward to now and 2010 and I doubt his name carries as much value, but to squeeze his relevance down to merely '98-'99, I think is a tad harsh.
