Dave "Rasta" Rastovich

Dave Rastovich is a renowned free-surfer sponsored by the major surf company, Billabong. Dave Rastovich is often referred to as "Rasta". Rastovich began surfing competitively at the age of 5 when his family moved to the Gold Coast of Australia. He surfed competitively in order to become an established surfer. After he became highly ranked, Rasta approached Billabong to allow him to become a free-surfer. The company agreed to Rasta's terms, and Rasta has been surfing as a free-surfer ever since. Now Rasta surfs for the enjoyment of it, rather than for the money. Rasta does not consider himself a member of any particular religion, but he does meditate. Much of his life is dominated by his surfing and what he experiences surfing.

Rasta's debut film is called "Life as Liquid" and was shot over an 18 month period. The film focusus on living a "free" lifestyle with no plans. The idea portrayed is that intuition and chance should influence your life. Rasta is also featured surfer in the movie "Blue Horizon" which tells how he differs from competitive surfers. The movie focuses on surfer Andy Irons and touches on Kelly Slater. Rasta, who used to compete with the surfers, now is a freesurfer sponsored by Billabong.

Rastovich has launched a campaign to end cruelty towards whales and dolphins. He has launched "Minds in the Water", which is a grassroots campaign to save marine animals. Rasta recently made a bold declaration against Japanese fisherman that slaughter dolphins. Rastovich led a paddle-out that included international musicians, surfers, and other people in honor of dolphins that were slaughtered in a killing cove in Taiji, Japan. Rastovich was accused of protesting Japanese fishermen by paddling out to the middle of the water. The fishermen, who supposedly slaughterd hundreds of dolphins off the coast of Japan, were very angry and claim that Rasta is trying to hurt their business. Rasta denies the claims that he led a protest, and he claims to have a high respect for the Japanese people. However, Rasta is glad that the world became more aware of the issues concerning dolphins that are killed and the high mercury levels in meat that comes from Japanese fishermen.

Freddie Prosser or Prossner was a Canadian professional wrestler, known by his ring name Freddie Sweetan, who competed in North American regional promotions including the National Wrestling Alliance as well as Grand Prix Wrestling, Maple Leaf Wrestling and Stampede Wrestling during the 1960s and 70s, most notably teaming with Paul Peller as the masked tag team The Butchers.

Career

Born in Shenstone, a small village in Albert County, New Brunswick, Prosser met 7-year veteran Paul Peller who persuaded him to enter professional wrestling. Training under Emile Dupree in Shediac, he eventually made his debut in 1968 teaming with Peller in Stu Hart's Stampede Wrestling as The Butchers. During their time in the promotion, they proved a popular tag team headlining sold out events in Calgary and Edmonton four weeks straight, which included had matches against football player Bob Luce and Emile Dupre.

The following year, he and Peller joined Dupre, Leo Burke and others to tour the Maritimes with Grand Prix Wrestling during the summer before retuning to Calgary before the end of the year. Wrestling under the name Freddie Sweetan, Posser teamed with Stampede Wrestling veteran "Bruiser" Bob Sweetan and eventually won the Stampede Wrestling Tag Team Championship before loosing the titles to Bud & Ray Osborne in Calgary, Alberta on April 18, 1969. He and Peller would later win the titles the following year. [1]

In part to an agreement with Sweetan and Leo Burke, Prosser and Sweetan began wrestling in the Kansas City-area as Killer Kox & K.O. Kox with Bob Geigel's NWA Central States. Feuding with Bob Geigel & The Stomper over the NWA Central States North American Tag Team titles, he later faced Geigel in a singles match the following year on November 5, 1970. [2]

While in the United States, he would also team with fellow Canadians The Beast in NWA Texas and Michel "Le Justice" Dubois in the Mid-Atlantic region [3] who together faced Terry & Bobby Kay, George & Sandy Scott, Big Boy Brown & Klondike Bill, Les Thatcher & Nelson Royal [4] and, most notably The Royal Kangaroos whom they had a five week feud with in 1973. During their time in the Carolinas, they would also face J.J. Dillon in Greensboro, North Carolina in 1972. [5]

Returning to the Maritimes during the summer months, he also had a successful run with Eric Pomeroy feuding with The Beast, who enlisted Rudy Kay and Leo Burke, fighting over the ESA International Tag Team Championship throughout the early 1970s. He and The Beast would also engage in several single matches as well. He and Pomeroy would win the ESA International Tag Team titles three times before loosing the titles to The Beast & Rudy Kay in Halifax, Nova Scotia on October 12, 1971. He would later team with a number of tag team partners including Kurt von Steiger, Mr. X and J.J. Dillon defeating The Beast & Bobby Kay in September 1973.

Loosing single matches to Jacques Rougeau and Johnny Valentine at the Maple Leaf Gardens in February 1974, [6] the titles were later vacated when Dillon did not return to the promotion the following summer, however he and Michel Dubois would reunite to regain the titles defeating The Beast & Bobby Kay in July 1974.

That same year, while visiting with Prosser and Pomeroy in their motor home, Prosser's father told Pomeroy that he was going to return to his house and commit suicide. After he had left, Pomeroy and Prosser returned to his house to find several RCMP officers were already at the scene where they informed the two Prosser's father had killed himself with a shotgun from the house.

After wrestling his last match in Saint John, New Brunswick, he held a party to celebrate his 36th birthday at his summer cabin at MacFarlane Bridge, only 15 miles southeast of Moncton. Although it is unknown what happened during the hours after his friends had left the party, sometime during the night a fire broke out in the cabin resulting in Prosser's death. A later investigation by the RCMP concluded that that Prosser, whose body had been found near the front door, had been trapped in the cabin during the fire and died of smoke inhalation. The official cause of the fire was stated to been accidental, most likely having been caused by Prosser having fallen asleep with a lit cigar in his hand.

However, wrestlers such as Emile Dupree have stated they believe the fire may have been started by a charcoal barbecue. Having been known to remain hot after being shut off, the grill may have either caused the fire or might have exploded. This theory was supported by local Halifax newspapers and, according to one news account, officials had "declined to reveal circumstances surrounding the blaze" although an autopsy was performed at a local Moncton hospital.

Pomeroy, who had been unable to attend the party due to a prior commitment in Mocaton, was asked by Prosser's mother to take over the funeral service. Prosser would later be cremated and buried alongside his father. [7]

    Iron-Wolf (comics)

    Template:Afc maybe

    Iron-Wolf is a fictional science fiction character created by Howard Chaykin for the DC comic book Weird Worlds. The story made it's debut in Vol. 2 Issue 8 and was published Nov-Dec 1973. The plots and art was by Howard Chaykin and the script was by Denny O'Neill. Little more than a foot note in his overall career Iron-Wolf is nevertheless significant in Chaykin's career because it was the first time he was given complete artist freedom and it also featured characters and ideas he would touch on in later and arguably better works. The story was reprinted in 1987 and a newer version called "Fires of revolution" Written by Howard Chaykin and John Francis Moore; Art by Michael Mignola and Craig Russell was put out by DC as a graphic novel. The character also makes a brief cameo in Chaykin's revisionist space opera Twilight.

    synopsis of first story "And there shall come a hero"

    The story opens with Lord Iron-Wolf in the court of Erika Klein Hernandez head of Empire Galaktika. (Not a misspelling) He stands defiant and proud in his opposition to the command of his leader to sell the anti-gravity wood of his home world to two rather large and imposing aliens flanking her. She then tries to seduce him into meeting her demands which sickens him to the point of striking her. The large and imposing aliens then attack Iron-Wolf who easily dispatches them as well as four as yet unseen compatriots with his sword. It is at that moment that even more aliens rush into the room at the exact moment a group of actors enter who were apparently engaged to entertain the court. One of the troupe a beautiful young lady decides to help Lord Iron-Wolf by blindly firing into the horde of aliens and somehow by simply shooting one secures the two of them enough time to escape to his wooden shuttle craft. They then evade the entire planetary defense force to escape to his ship the Limerick Rake. A huge vessel of brass and the gravity defying wood of his home world. Once aboard he seems to be eager to get rid of the beautiful actress who is never named and who Lord Iron-Wolf refers to only as "Girl". For reasons never explained he becomes a pirate and in the space of one page has several adventures raiding various ships mansions and outposts growing his legend and running afoul of the Blood Legion, a race of vampires. This of course displeases the Empress who summons Omikel the head of the Blood Legion to pose as a diplomat. His mission is to go to Iron-Wolf's home and gather information about him. At that very instant after fending off an assassination attempt, Iron-Wolf is still trying to get rid of Girl and decides she'll be safest at his home on the planet Illium. Little does Iron-Wolf know that his brother Tyrone is in cahoots with Omikel and is planning to kill his brother to inherit his lands and title. After Iron-Wolf lands planet-side and Tyrone shows lecherous interest in Girl there is yet another assassination attempt from the finest gunman in the solar system who misses Iron-Wolf only to be shot down by our hero. It is then Tyrone shows his true colors and after a brief struggle and beating confesses that he was in league with the Blood Legion to sell the forests of gravity defying wood bearing trees. Iron-Wolf returns to his ship without learning of Omikal's presence in his home, or punishing his brother and seemingly finally rid of Girl. He immediately plots a course for the forests and orders the plasma torpedoes readied. Then in order to make sure that they can't fall into any one else's hands he destroys the forests. He then returns to a life of pirating and tracks his enemies to the Sargasso Sea of Space. "A warp at the edge of the galaxy where derelict ships are drawn by magnetic forces, there to rest for eternity--" Deciding to explore the abandoned wrecks he stumbles upon another beautiful woman (This time a red-head) struggling against the same race of aliens he fought in the first few pages. Defeating first the aliens and then the woman in combat he gains her trust. She tells him her name is Shebaba O'Neal and belongs to a group fighting the tyrannical Empire and seeking to establish a democracy. She offers Iron-Wolf and his men a commission in the space navy. He accepts and as a token of friendship she gives him an apple.

    critical analysis

    As stated earlier this story is an almost forgotten foot note in Howard Chaykin's career and nothing has been written about it. It has gaping plot holes a seemingly psychotic lead character and appears to be little more than paranoid misogynistic wish fulfillment. Despite it's problems or perhaps because of them it's a really fun read. It feels a little like a Victorian era adventure yarn. Pre-political correctness and full of gallant gentlemen who know better than they're decadent leaders or the silly fawning women who surround them. It is in this story that we see the beginning of Chaykin's ironic tone that he would become famous for and which served him better in latter works like American Flag and Twilight.
