Time passes. Honky Tonk is now 63.
I didn't know he was that old. I saw him about 25-26 years ago at Cobo Arena in Detroit. Hulk Hogan vs Kamala was the main event. I know Hogan won but I can't remember if Honky won that night or not.
Him being 63 and doing the impossible of knocking Chauncy Welliver down with boxing gloves on just goes to show how true the old adage is of It's The One You Don't See Coming That Hurts You. There was a lot of moral in Welliver's wrestling debut like that. Watch your back. With friends like that you don't need enemies. Keep your friends close and enemies closer. Money can't buy everything. Age is just a number for Honky Tonk Man.
That was some punch though. Honky Tonk could have KO'd anybody with that punch, Tyson Fury, Wladimir Klitschko, anybody. And then he threw another one and KO'd the other guy. Two punches two clean KO's, and it was even more impressive because he didn't even know which hand to put his gloves on until some lady, the director I guess, told him!

Vince McMahon....if you build him up....they will come. WWE Welliver Mania is only 1 phone call away from becoming a reality. He's the prefect guy to take on Brock Lesnar for the MMA vs Boxing angle. Best 2 out of 3 in Boxing, MMA and Wrestling. The whole world would love to see Chauncy beat the living poo out of Lesnar over 4 rounds of HW Boxing...if Brock Lesnar could even last 4 rounds with him.....a very big if. Get R Done Vince. The WWE Universe is so incomplete without Welliver in the house. You could remedy this situation with 1 phone call. Brock Lesnar....what you gonna do after 4 rounds or less of Chauncy Welliver bitch smacking you?
I agree, but I think he'd have to gimmick up the act to make it big in wrasslin. Maybe let his hair grow long and unkempt, or wear a wig, and the story line could be he's gone crazy from being punch drunk and now he's chewing on the turnbuckles like good old George The Animal Steele. Yeah, lots of potential. Big grudge revenge match with Honky too, but I don't think Honky's really up for that. Maybe Honk could become a manager and Chauncy could take out his hatred on his protege whoever that may be, and the turnbuckle.
