Wendell Cooley

[6.0] "I had to go back and realign my timeline for this guy. Started as "Rick Casey" (in Southwest/Blanchard's territory) the supposed brother of Cowboy Scott Casey. This wasn't a bad start but I'm glad this alternate timeline didn't last. He looked the part, looked great dressed in Scott's gear. Next he debuted in Mid South Wrestling as Wendell Cooley against Ric Flair. Ric Flair could work a four star match with a broom at that point, so he made Wendell look like he belonged. After an immediate fall from potential grace, he earned an underdog tag team championship run with Al Perez and this definitely worked for me. From here he worked in Alabama (as Cooley) & Memphis (as Casey) and did fine in both areas. I thought he would do more in Jim Herd's WCW but, nope. I have to say that I absolutely positively love his look; he has the face of horror film icon Tom Savini and usually he's dressed in ring gear akin to Scott Casey *gush*!"

[4.0] "I assume this guy is the brother of Cowboy Scott Casey or he is just a Goodwill version of Scott Casey. They keep talking about him being able to do backflips and frontflips off of the top ropes, which I never saw him do. He seemed to be fine in the wrestling arsenal, but nothing really stood out with this guy. He had a good look but was small in his era. He is listed at 6'1" here but he was 5'9" or 5'10" in reality. Not terrible, but nothing interesting to note with this guy."
