Yes, the WWf had a blind jobber in the early 1980's, whose name escapes me.
He wasn't totally blind, though, just legally blind.

Isn't Stan Hanson legally blind now?

WCCW's George Wiengroff (sp?) was legally blind...

No, but there have been several blind officials.

Didn't Carl Styles of the various Pacific Northwest feds have a glass eye? The
Apter mags seemed to bring it up often.....

There was a wrestler in Texas WCCW during the mid-late 80's that was
legally blind, I don't remember his name.

George Weiegeoff (sp?), son of wrestling manager Gentleman
Saul Weigeeoff (sp?), wrestled in the Memphis/Nashville areas and
with Poffo's old ICW Kentucky promotion. He is legally blind.

He still wrestles indies in Middle Tennessee area, most recently in a
Sheik/arabic persona.

Didn't Superstar Billy Graham do something like this in the
WWF? I think he had a "bag over the head" match with
um... that black guy with the blond hair. I forget his name...

[FitNFeisty]

The Black guy with the blonde hair was Butch Reed. The WWF had him dye his
hair and jokingly referred to him as "The Natural" because Hacksaw Jim Duggan
was already in the WWF and they couldn't have two Hacksaws.(Butch Reed's
nickname was Hacksaw before he entered the WWF) IIRC, they , Duggan and Reed,
didn't even have a feud over the Hacksaw moniker.

No, but there have been mny blind referees.

Jake Roberts did the match against Rick Martel.They did an angle where
Martel "blinded"Jake w/his perfume.Butch Reed was the black/blond fellow.

Weingaroff, and he still works, does a benefit show for the Lions Club in
Manteo, NC, every year.

Have a nice day.
