Doug Furnas was one of my favorites growing up. He had one of the best Dropkicks and Frankensteiners in the business. And unlike a lot of strongmen who transitioned into pro wrestling, he adapted the most by trading much of his muscle mass for ring skills.

He was a world class powerlifter turned wrestler. He wrestled mostly tags with Dan Kroffat. He mostly wrestled in Japan and a number of great matches. I know there is a stigma here with puro, but he had a great match with Van Dam in ECW, I'll try to find it.

He was part of the quebeckers in WWF, right?
Heard he was only 50. Far too young. |

After watching a few matches with Owen and Bulldog I still do not remember this guy or that team at all. How long was he in the wwf?

Most memorable thing was their debut at a Survivor Series, it was a 3 on 3 tag team survivor series match. I want to say Furnas and LaFon did all the eliminations on their teams' side.

I also liked their series with The British Bulldogs at the tail end of 1989.

Zenk sucks compared to Furnas and Kroffat. Martel was the better half of the team.
