TTG #3 (pt.1) – Angelo “King Kong” Mosca, Greatest Heel of All-Time (Part 1)

In 2011, Angelo Mosca was co-star of a YouTube clip gone viral in the days before viral was a thing. The clip captures a fight between 70-year-olds over a Canadian football game played nearly 50 years prior: In some ways it was the culmination of a career playing “the man you love to hate” first in the CFL and later in the burgeoning World Wrestling Federation of Vince McMahon.

If we can consider professional wrestling a sport, that is.

In this episode, Truly The GOATs has the first part of the story of Angelo “King Kong” Mosca from his rough upbringing in Waltham, Massachusetts, through to his earliest years in Canadian football, when his Hamilton Tiger-Cats were so frequently stifled by the Winnipeg Blue Bombers. And we’ve also got the story of his parallel rise in status to that of star heel in the pro wrestling ranks.

Joining Truly The GOATs host Os Davis to talk Angelo Mosca, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, the city of Hamilton, the awesomeness of Canadian football and the strange attraction of professional wrestling are Travis Currah, co-host of the 2 And Out CFL Podcast, and Josh Smith, co-host of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats-centered podcast Podskee Wee Wee.
