Ted Arcidi
Real name: Ted Arcidi
Hometown: Buffalo, NY
A.K.A.: Boss of the Benchpress
Membership: Superstars
Finisher: Bear hug
Background: He found his niche, what can I say?
Ted was a pretty straight forward guy. He wanted to be strong, so he worked out. Probably too much, as by the time he was finished, Ted was now the strongest man on the planet. Seriously, dude could shatter diamonds just using his deltoids.
Naturally Vince came calling but they quickly a found a problem. Ted was strong-WAY too strong. One slap could cripple. The strongest blows barely registered with him. How could you build a fight around that? It would be like watching an adult fighting in a child's karate tournament. Sure, funny the first time but only a psycho would watch a second time.
So Ted was quietly retired in 1990.
