Southern Maid? Krispy Kreme? Shipley?

Masked Dad #8 Masked Dad Eats a Donut
Masked Dad's got all kinds of favorite donut places. It just depends on what city he's in.

But what he really likes to do is to get to the donut store when the donuts are being made and ask for a dozen, hot, plain and unglazed. It's not that he counts calories, it's that a man's gotta do what, what a man's gotta do to keep in belt-title winning shape.

Jerry Usher - the Inspiration for Masked Dad

The Day Jerry Wrestled the Bear
Jerry Usher is my dad. He was a professional wrestler in the 1960s and 1970s. And, yes, he really did wrestle a bear.

Some of the folks he worked with in his wrestling career include: Leroy McGuirk, Danny Hodge, Bill Watts, Dusty Rhodes, Ernie Ladd, Junkyard Dog, Jim Ross, Grizzly Smith, Ted DiBiase, Andre the Giant, Dick Murdoch, and Skandar Akbar.
