Boo: Trick or Treat

Me as Capt. Lou Halloween 2009

I'm closing out the month of Halloween themed blogs with a tribute to fans who pay tribute to wrestlers. Each year at Wrestlemania, Chad and I (and whoever else goes along with us) dress up like wrestlers. You can check out our costumes through the years by clicking here.

Back in 1985, I dressed up like Hillbilly Jim for Halloween. It was a simple costume to come up with. I had a pair of denim overalls, a brown beard, and a hat. The beard ended up itching like crazy, so about halfway through the night of trick or treating, I swapped it out for a werewolf mask and became a hillbilly werewolf. Unfortunately, there are no photos of this epic costume.

But I do have photos of my costume from Halloween 2009. WWE Hall of Famer, Captain Lou Albano had just passed away, so I decided to pay homage to one of my favorite managers growing up. I donned a black wig, Hawaiian shirt, and actually glued some rubberbands to my face. I also found an image of Albano's old tshirt and ironed it on to a white tshirt. Most people had no idea who I was, but those who got the costume made my night.

Enough about me, here are pics of fans that I've found on the world wide web. Enjoy. And if I'm using a pic of you and didn't credit it properly, I apologize. Shoot me a message and I'll make up for it. Hope you've enjoyed the Halloween blogs, I had a blast writing them. Thanks to Chad too for his contributions.
