Hatfield, Sr: Fill & Download for Free

There are three major reasons.Andre the Giant was a monumental attraction on his own. He was basically unbeatable and so popular and such a draw that he didn’t “need” to hold the championship to add to his appeal. He was already the most famous wrestler in the world.The northeast WWWF offices of Vincent J. McMahon were the booking office for Andre the Giant. Vince Sr. used Andre as a political leveraging tool. For example, if Vince wanted someone from a certain territory, he would take the territories top star, but would give the promoter some dates with Andre to make up for it at their box office. He could also leverage the use or non-use of Andre in a particular territory in order for Vince Sr. to get what he wanted out of a particular business arrangement. Additionally, Andre could be used as a bargaining chip or even weaponized if someone tried to encroach on a Vince Sr. ally territory. Andre was not just a famous wrestler, he was THE most famous wrestler and as such, had political clout and use like no one before or since.Lastly, Andre was in such worldwide demand at his prime and holding a territories championship would mean that he was physically tied to that area for an extended period of time. Andre and Vince Sr. knew that by Andre always moving around territories and showing up as a “Special Attraction” it would do just that…keep Andre the Giant appearances “special”. When the circus comes to town it’s a big deal, but if the circus stays in town, it’s not so special after a month. Andre was viewed the same way and history has proven that to be true. Andre could be moved in and out of territories, always be a big deal when he showed up, and most importantly, could meet the box office demand for him to appear. If Andre had to appear in one territory for an extended period of time, as champion no less, the appeal would wear off pretty quickly. As history has shown, they made the right decision…Andre is remembered as an unbeatable legend and a huge star who was able to visit nearly every major wrestling market in the world at one time or another and be held in high regard in the memories of the fans who attended those events.

One of the biggest rivalries in American history is the Hatfield–McCoy feud. I heard they finally put aside their differences completely, but I could be wrong about that.Check out this list of deaths, taken from the Wikipedia page in the link above:January 7, 1865 – Former Union soldier Asa Harmon McCoy, probably by the "Logan Wildcats" led by Jim Vance.[13] *11878 – Bill Staton (nephew of Randolph McCoy), as revenge for testifying on behalf of Floyd Hatfield in his trial for stealing a McCoy hog.[14] Shot by Sam McCoy, nephew of Randolph McCoy Sr.[15] *2August 9, 1882 – Ellison Hatfield, injured in a fight with Tolbert, Pharmer, and Randolph McCoy, Jr. on August 7, dying two days later.[16] *3August 9, 1882 – Tolbert McCoy, tied to pawpaw trees and killed as revenge for Ellison Hatfield's shooting/stabbing, on the day Ellison died. *4August 9, 1882 – Pharmer McCoy, tied to pawpaw trees and killed as revenge for Ellison Hatfield's shooting/stabbing. *4August 9, 1882 – Randolph McCoy Jr., tied to pawpaw trees and killed as revenge for Ellison Hatfield's shooting/stabbing.[17] *41886 – "Jeff McCoy", following his murder of mail carrier Fred Wolford[18] shot by "Cap" Hatfield[15] *5January 1, 1888 – Calvin McCoy, at Randolph's house by nine attackers led by Jim Vance.

The term “blue-eyed soul” (also known as “white soul”) originated in the mid-1960s. It was meant to describe white artists imitating the style of R&B and soul artists — with some of them finding success with black audiences as well as white audiences.No one is certain where the term was first used, but some have claimed Philadelphia disc jockey Georgie Woods made it up to describe the Righteous Brothers in 1965. Bobby Hatfield & Bill Medley were probably the first artists described in 1960s music magazines with “blue-eyed soul” — especially after their 1965 number 1 smash You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feelin’.In addition to the Righteous Brothers, there were many other artists over the years who (at one time or another) had “blue-eyed soul” attached to their careers:The RascalsDusty SpringfieldTom JonesEric Burdon & the AnimalsThe Box TopsLaura NyroThe Spencer Davis GroupThe Small FacesSonny & CherBarry McGuireEven the Beatles & Rolling Stones had songs which were described by music critics as having elements of “blue-eyed soul” on some of their albums. The use of the term has never really gone away — I heard the term in the 1970s and ’80s used to describe David Bowie, Michael McDonald and Daryl Hall & John Oates — among others.Many R&B radio stations would not play white artists in the 1960s, but quite a number made exceptions for white artists with what was called “that soul feeling.”
