I have heard the song only a couple of times on the radio, and it is only a novelty song, and an old one at that. Don't remember it well, last heard it decades past now, might even have been spoken word, all I remember is it contained a lot of threats against pencil necked geeks , anytime, anywhere, Freddy Blassie, was after you, pencil necked geeks better keep your head on a swivel, stuff like that.

At least I think that might have been the wrestler on the recording, but since I never cared for the show, even as a kid, it could have been anybody.

My curiosity was prodded by a reference to someone modern being called a pencil necked geek in another posting section here. Apparently in some circles , this pencil necked geek is well known, and doesn't even need a real name to be identified, people just know , like Cher or jagger.

thanks for the help, the link made me laugh.

I liked that the humor was a harmless threat to pencil necked geeks everywhere, yet there are no such actual people getting defamed and him all steamed.

I feel a little foolish not thinking to look it up myself, I'll get over it. I had remembered the name vaguely , and couldn't spell it on a bet, plus remembered him incorrectly from an earlier time.

I once worked with a Philippine man who enjoyed watching wrestling on TV and thought it was real.
I gave a few examples of common events, like nobody takes a 2x4 to the head and just shakes it off, to bring him up to speed.

I now regret that action, his face fell as he saw the logic. I didn't want a friend living with bad information, but now, in retrospect, feel like a killed his Santa Claus . Such a gentle soul to not have any context to understand violence , unlike my american football consuming self.

I know how some people really get into that stuff, and wish I had been quick thinking enough to leave it alone. But I am the type who thinks up the best conversational response later.

I sometimes in boredom will click to wrestling , trying to find the call outs between matches, because they used to go beyond sanity and into the ridiculous , the "passion" was so overwhelming they would loose their minds. If a man could foam at the mouth on cue , they would be doing it.

But the days of a heel pulling out a hidden bottle labeled "do not throw in eyes" and guess what, throwing it a guys eyes, are long gone. now even little guys make the show, everyone has a costume, and a doll down at the toy store. I don't think it wise to indoctrinate little kids of an age that plays with dolls, to think continual anything goes violence and retribution is an acceptable form of recreation.
