-As The Goon, he was announced as hailing from Duluth, MN or from The Penalty Box. He was portrayed as a former professional hockey player kicked out of the league because he was too brutal. His wrestling attire consisted of a hockey jersey, hockey pants, and boots that looked like hockey skates without the skate blade on them.
