DragonKingKarl Classic Wrestling Audio Show: Biography Series – The Mongolian Stomper. I wanted to dedicate an entire biography show to the late Archie “The Mongolian Stomper” Gouldie. He was my first favorite heel character when I started watching wrestling. Normally, I would not expect a lot to be made of the Stomper’s death other than a mention here or there since he was not a giant international star. But to me, here in the deep southern United States and, I am sure, to many in Canada he was a very big deal.
Today I want to talk about the career of the Mongolian Stomper and talk about the angle that made him my favorite. He was well spoken in some areas, while in others he was a grunting brute. Yet, even when he played the brute, his angles were often sophisticated. He was part of a famous, very heavy, angle in Stampede wrestling that lead to the shows announcer quiting. He did a similar angle in Alabama.
On today’s show I will talk in detail about another sophisticated angle he did involving Ric Flair, Austin Idol, Buddy Rogers, and much more. Today, I am going to give the Stomper his due and I hope you enjoy learning about a relatively under rated wrestling star.
