In an interview with WWE’s official website, The Vaudevillains (Simon Gotch & Aiden English) discussed which old-school wrestlers they have modeled themselves after, putting over legendary names including Lou Thesz and Gorgeous George.
Gotch On Lou Thesz: “Lou Thesz was a man of such technical acumen that he was able to frighten the fearsome Original Sheik. Thesz beat him so badly that after five minutes, The Shiek ran outside and hid under a bus.”
English On Gorgeous George: “The minute he walked into a room, all eyes were glued on him and he made sure you knew it.”
