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.
I often come upon this photo of John Benninghoff by AMG on the net. He did a ton of work for AMG and Old Reliable throughout the 1980s but photos of him are as rare as hen's teeth. This is the only photo I have where John is sporting a beard. With or without the beard, John had a beefy body with many tattoos and he carried an impressive package.
Many years ago a fellow AMG enthusiast told me he met John somewhere in the Hollywood Hills and spent the day hanging out with him. He said John was really affectionate and...How did he put it?...Oh Yeah!...HORNY dude! It was a day he said he would always remember.
