@iconsofprowrestling on Instagram: "Happy Birthday to Ken Patera who turns 82 today! Ken was one off my first favorite wrestlers despite him being a so called bad guy in wrestling, as that never mattered to me. I always found myself gravitating towards most of the bad guys growing up from Star Wars, Superheroes, He-Man, GIJOE, etc. They just looked cooler to me. Don’t get wrong as I still liked a lot of good guys. It just didn’t matter to me what side they were on in if I thought they were cool.
