Where the East Meets the West-Superstars Profile#88

East-West Connection

Real names: (JV) James Janos (AA) Keith Franks 

Hometowns: (JV) San Diego, CA (AA) Buffalo, NY

Membership: Jesse Ventura, Adrian Adonis 

A.K.A.: N/A

Finisher: (JV) Body Breaker (AA) DDT

Background: Just two tough guys, not much else to be said. 

When Jesse Ventura met Adrian Adonis, he thought the idea of him being from the West Coast and Adrian being a Easter coaster being in the Minneapolis at the same time was funny. Plus they liked beating up people, so you know they had that. 

Honestly they did a bit but never enough. No plans to conquer the world, ransom bigwigs, etc. When Vince Jr. noticed them, he wanted Jesse, only taking Adrain to appease the more charismatic fellow.

In 1982 it was decided to break the team up as Vince began to solidify his control of Titan Inc. Jesse was sent over to the news desk while Adrian would be repackaged.
