I hope everyone had a great Fourth of July. The last several weeks have been somewhat bizarre, culminating with writers block. I just could not get it together and write anything.

I have been reading, on the KM Message Board, mention of Hawaii’s own, Don Muraco, King of Oahu’s North Shore. He has worked so many of the great territories, during his years in wrestling. The first time I saw him was in Portland, Oregon, when he worked for Don Owens Portland Wrestling, along with pal, Jimmy Snuka.

Muraco always loved coming home to Hawaii, and his many fans. One day I saw him walking down Hotel Street, in Honolulu, while on a break from wrestling. Evidently, he had just come from a local gym, for every muscle was well defined. His thigh muscles were so huge that it affected the way he walked, splitting his feet shoulder length apart.

As I have reported in my past articles, Lars Anderson was not well liked, as a person. He was, after all, the Polynesian Heavyweight Champion, and booker for PPW. Nevertheless, there were things in his past, which caused him to be disliked, in the wrestling world. When Muraco worked for us, he was billed as a "face". He refused to be in the same room with Lars, choosing instead, to dress in the "heels" dressing room. Lars had to use a "go between" to talk to Don, due to Muraco’s hatred of him. Even at television tapings, Lars had to be out of the room when Don was there.

Lia enjoyed all of this bickering, at Lars’ expense. After all, Don was a good friend of the family, and had worked with Peter many years.
