The Real Living Legend-Superstars Profile#47

Larry Zbyszko 

Real name: Lawrence Whistler 

Home: Pittsburgh, PA

Membership: Superstars, Dangerous Alliance 

A.K.A.: Larry Whistler

Finisher: Figure-four leglock

Background: We've seen heroes go bad, but what about sidekicks?


Growing up, there was nobody Larry admired more than Bruno Sammartino. He dreamed of being the next member of the Superstars, so he spent every waking hour focusing. Body, mind, anything he could study he could. 

He submitted dozens of applications to Titan and never got an answer. So he broke in.

Bruno took pity on the young man and offered him a job...as the mascot. Sure, Larry got use to the jokes and always tagging along with everyone but surely all that meant was he was going to be made leader, right?

So when Bruno stepped down and gave the position to Pedro Morales, well, Larry didn't take that too well. Mostly by trying to break a chair over Bruno's head. He formerly challenged Bruno to a fight and lost. Defeated, Larry left for all points South and West, never appearing in New York ever again.
