Dear John

I had to steal this photo of John Benninghoff from VMM.  Here he is at his first visit to Old Reliable in 1983.  He came back several times to wrestle.  He also made a number of visits to AMG in the early 80s.  

Years ago, a fellow AMG enthusiast told me he met John a year or so before John posed for Old Reliable -- and he had the Polaroids to prove it!  He said John was one of the nicest guys he ever met.

  1. JOHN BENNINGHOFF posed for Bob Mizer several times the latest being 1991. When Mizer died in 1992 JOHN attended his funeral one of only a few people who were there.

    1. Well, that would fit what was said about John. A truly nice guy.

  2. Happy to see this over here and to learn more about this model. Although he looks like David Hurles' usual street tough type, he apparently was a nice guy, and that's good to know.

    1. It made John more memorable to me. He looked like rough trade, but as they say, you can't judge a book by its cover. I do it all the time, though.
