The late Dick The Bruiser was honored last night by being inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame. Older Hoosiers will recognize the name and probably even remember seeing him on television. The Delphi, Indiana native made a name for himself in the wrestling community, and finally received his honors last night. Others that made the cut were Hulk Hogan, Ozzy and William Shatner.
Check Dick out below, during an interview with David Letterman back in 1980. (Interview starts around 3:30 in)
