Studd uses all the illegal tactics he can in the ring. His manager is Bobby Heenan, who encourages Studd to break the rules. My comments: On rare occasions, John Studd was listed as being from Washington, D.C. He did, in fact, live in the Washington, D.C. area, where his family still resides. Until fairly recently, the son of my boss' boss went to school with John Studd's kid. She said it was an odd sight at PTA meetings seeing a 6' 10" guy with long blond hair sitting there amongst the other parents.
