Its saddening that most people haven't heard of this amazing wrestler & entertainer. Although Joe was way before my time, my grandfather was a fan of wrestling & when my grandma & mom & Pop (who was a pastor & was ok with most wrestling except Abdullah, The Shiek, & Joe type wrestling/wrestlers, lol). PopPop would let me watch Joe in Memphis with him. So a Caucasian, Canadian-Frenchman quickly became a Black kid from the south's favorite wrestler, lmao. When he had the guys from the audience/town come in the ring & try to pry his hands apart & they couldn't do it. What....the F?!?! Lol. I thought Superman had to be real & this dude was his uncle or something. Breaking glass over his head. I actually just saw the promo PopPop wouldn't let me see as a kid, of Joe cutting his arm with A REAL FRIGGIN' AXE...the other day when a show about the territory days started on Vice. And although I'm almost 30, I completely see why PopPop said "No" to letting me see that one, lol. Sheesh, Joe. Lol. There will never be another Joe Leduc.
