Buddy Rogers
Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, Fla. (AP) – After an insult from a much younger man, old pro wrestler Buddy “Nature Boy” Rogers added some injury.
A 30-year old rowdy picked on the wrong old man, police said last week. Rogers, 68, had just ordered lunch in a sandwich shop when Theodore Terhune of Pompano Beach burst in looking for someone named Mike.
When he was told Mike wasn’t there, he began verbally abusing a pair of employees, police said, and Rogers asked him to quiet down.
“He called me an old man,” said Rogers, in his day the star of the pro wrestling circuit and still powerfully built. “He said: ‘if you want a piece of me, you can have me right now.”
