13.3. Who is Steve DiSalvo?

Steve DiSalvo has wrestled all over the world, including as
"Strangler" Steve DiSalvo in Stampede Wrestling in Calgary, as
Steve Strong in Montreal, and as the Minotaur in WCW. He really
exists.

For a short while Steve DiSalvo was an "in joke" on r.s.p-w. It
started in mid 1991 when Sean Ryan mentioned that the WCW's
Diamond Studd (really Scott Hall, Razor Ramon) resembled Steve
DiSalvo. Not knowing any better, other r.s.p-w'ers took Sean's
remark to be the explanation for the different looks of Scott
Hall. Shortly thereafter, "The Diamond Studd is not Scott
Hall... It's Steve DiSalvo" posts began showing up on
r.s.p-w. What began as an honest misunderstanding quickly mutated
into r.s.p-w'ers answering "Who is...?" questions with "It's
Steve DiSalvo!". The joke ran its course long ago, and is now
more annoying than amusing.
