"The Rebel" Dick Slater
Real name: Richard Van Slater
Hometown: Albany, NY
A.K.A.: Mr. Florida, the Texas Outlaw
Membership: Superstars, Gary Hart International, J-Tex Corporation, Stud Stable, Hardliners, Rough N Ready, partners with Dusty Rhodes, Cowboy Bob Orton Jr.
Finisher: Swinging Neckbreaker
Background: Sometimes you don't get a choice where you're born. If you asked Dick, he'd tell you he was pure Southern redneck through and through.
Even his closest friends didn't know he was born in New York.
He was a tough SOB and made his way wherever he could fight, even doing a bit with Dusty Rhodes during his hellraising days. He managed to make his way onto Titan's radar where he was dubbed "the Rebel". He was even given a souped up Dodge Charger, but the fans didn't exactly warm up to him. After a brutal fight with Butch Reed, Slater quit and made his way down South.
Rumors that he drove the car through Titan's lobby have yet to be verified.
