Two Woofy Tuesday (Beary Yummy Seconds): The Power Twins, David & Larry Sontag

My second poll was the popularity contest between pro-wrestlers, Shane Twins and Power Twins.  The poll is still open and it’s currently at 149-18!  I have to admit that I was a bit shocked to find that The Power Twins got such few votes.  And to disclose who I would have voted for, it would have been The Power Twins, David and Larry Sontag.  To me, they’re just far more bearish than the beefy and muscular Shane Twins.  But, perhaps, one of the main reasons is because I had actually seen one of them before here in Las Vegas.

I have seen Larry before at a Walgreens pharmacy many years ago.  He was picking up some medication (possibly pain pills) but I did not know who he was at the time.  All I knew was that he was talking to the pharmacist and she was asking him about his profession.  He then started talking about wrestling, his back pain, and how “it’s just a living.”  I’ll never forget that.  The second time I saw him was at a strip joint called Spearmint Rhino, also in Vegas.  (Backstory: I had to hang out with the guys I work with so that it looked “normal” and that I was attracted to women.)  Anyway, I wasn’t sure if it was David or Larry because it was too loud and I was mesmerized at him holding my drivers license.  I dreaded being at that strip joint but I was glad for being treated by such a pleasant surprise.  (Come to think of it, I spent about two hundred dollars for lap dances that I did not care for.  Geez.  All that work and lost money so that I appeared to be “just one of the guys.  I should have just given the money to Mr. Sontag as even though I did not get a lap dance from him — which was for the better as he would have crushed my legs — being in the presence of such an intimidating bouncer was way too erotic for me.)

Anyways, I’m a ramblin’.  But you may be wondering how I could differentiate the two.  Basically, Larry has a deeper New Yorker voice while David has a lighter and pronounced Long Island accent.  In Ocean’s Eleven David was the one with the longer spoken lines and you can hear his accent clearly when he spoke to George Clooney’s character.

And, finally, here’s a 2-part pro-wrestling matchup between The Power Twins and Masked Confusion (originally known as WWF’s “The Killer Bees”)…

  1. I was thinking the same thing.

    If you’d have posted the Ocean’s Eleven photos, I would have gone for them too.

    Is it too late to vote again? 😛

  2. I just found this match on ESPN Classic on Thursday night at 11 PM Central time — and I immediately said, “Hey, wait a minute … where I’d hear about the Power Twins?”

    And I’m quite glad you identified these two handsome guys — I’ve seen Ocean’s Eleven quite a few times.

    (Any idea who the REALLY tall bearish fellow is that’s giving a beating to George Clooney in the movie? You know, the tall, bald-headed bear?)
