Featured reviews
You have to a bit eccentric and athletic to survive fifty years in the squared circle with the likes of Mad Dog Vachon and the Crusher (Reggie Lisowski...the wrestler who made Milwaukee famous). He had a red cape and a one of a kind look and demeanor. When Mad Dog and Vern Gagne recruited him, he developed his voice and his style and his claw. When Mad Dog saw him putting the ring together he kept saying "You would make a good German!" Mad Dog wanted to call him Baron Von Pumpkin (no one is perfect). But Raschke learned to overcome his shyness during interviews and a Berlin star was born (no worries he is a U. S. Army veteran) with his unique vocalizations complimenting the Dog, he developed the Claw. The rest is fifty years of wrestling history. "And dat is all da people need to know!" (holding up the claw sign...)
