I was reading one of your latest rants and saw something about Denny Brown. Apparently, he held this belt three times, and Giant Baba was somehow involved. Do you know anything more about him? He doesn't register much in my childhood memories of NWA television.
He was a regional guy, decent worker, looked like Steve Perry with muscle tone. I don't know how Giant Baba would be involved but he did nothing of note aside from being a former jobber who got a decent push as junior champion, lost to Hector Guerrero in a Lazer Tag costume, and then became a jobber again before retiring. On the NWA shows I'm reviewing right now he just dropped the belt to Steve Regal and should be regaining it shortly, but he was never really anything memorable as a worker or anything.

Denny’s finisher was the Oklahoma Roll small package…..Jim Ross would have gotten him in the WWE based on that alone. I remember seeing a NWA or Mid South show hosted by Gordon Solie where Denny was really flabby and out of shape compared to his early years.
Thanks, Scott. I got the Giant Baba thing from Wikipedia, but that could always be wrong.
Cheap plug and probable answer to your question.

Holy crap a 411 guy? I thought they were banned from communicating with Scott.
