Miller Lite IN A CrusherFest Commemorative Cup
Arrived about 1:30. After I bought a Miller Lite, we walked up and down the food court but while I was already set on the turkeyneck sandwich, my sis decided on having the Crusher Jumbo Polish Sausage (They were also serving Bruiser Brats).
We ate at the Entertainment Tent, where the band was playing polkas (what else?) Next, at the Wrestling Tent, Baron's line was as long as you'd expect it to be! But I got autographed pics from ROH's Silas Young and Beer City Bruiser, no waiting. Got a 2nd beer, 2:30 we headed for the statue area, by 3
the place was packed! -
Turns out Jerry Lawler's flight was delayed, so he missed the ceremony but hey, the show must go on. Crusher's kids got a grand reception, the South Milwaukee mayor not so much. He wouldn't stop talking & a "Crusher" chant broke out. Baron got a HUGE pop, he delivered his tribute as a (mostly) in-character rasslin promo.
Finally it was time for the big unveil, and as the drop cloth descended, seeing was believing: Beer keg on his shoulder, classic Crusher expression on his face, 100%
unmistakable. HOW 'BOUT DAT? A day in South Milwaukee doesn't get any better!
