Wahoo McDaniel's Head Dress




This is one of Wahoo’s Indian head dresses that he wore on TV and to the matches. And what is so neat about this, guys, is that I had Wahoo in to do an autograph session, and I wanted something from him to keep, and I actually asked him just for an old knee pad or elbow pad or something. I just wanted something from him for my room. 

 

So when he showed up with this head dress, you can only imagine how I felt. I had no idea he would bring something like that for me. His actual words to me were “Keep it, because there are not many left.” I just thought that was so neat and special. This was about a year before he died.
