Stinky The Garbage Man

One would envision the name of Stinky The Garbage man as a spin on Duke The Dumpster from the WWF   but such was not the case, He wore regular trunks and a blue mask that did not match. He wrestled in his bare feet because he could either not afford or did not want to spend the money for new wrestling boots. He was fat and out of shape. Nonetheless, he was over with the public, in spite of himself.

"Stinky stinks!   Stinky stinks! Stinky stinks!"

This was the chant that always popped up when he wrestled.

Whether they referred to body odor or his lack of ability was never made clear.

Stinky lasted a few years on the Indy scene in Arizona and even made it across the border into Mexico. There are accounts of him appearing in Nogales, Agua Prieta  and even as far south as Hermosillo.

As far as victories go, Stinky lost a hell of a lot more than he won. Among those he lost to were CC Starr, Widowmaker William Barker and The Devil's Disciple, the last of whom beat him in less than two minutes. He also had one short feud with Bladerunner.

One of the funniest things came during a Wrestling Marathon held at a Glendale swap meet in 1998, where the wretslers had to work multiple matches to fill in a day's worth of show. By the time of the final battle royal, he was totally out of gas and he retired shortly afterward.

I assume he went back to the junkyard.

Either that or he junked his routine, removed his mask and decided to wrestle under another name.
