Wrestling fans of all ages, say hello to Von Krus.

Some reading this might recognise that mug. It's future WCW regular Big Vito - he also had runs in the original ECW and again in WWE in the mid-2000s. Most people talk about Vito's work under Paul Heyman or on SmackDown, but hardly anyone mentions his time as Krus. He worked way more than you might think.

Krus worked shots for the WWF between 1991-1993. Pretty much all of them were enhancement showings, but he did get some offensive flurries in here or there. At one point, Krus even did the J.O.B for The Undertaker, and he must've thought a federation contract was incoming after wrestling twice on Raw in April '93.

Those matches vs. Tatanka and Typhoon came shortly after WrestleMania IX, so Mr. Krus surely believed Vince McMahon saw something in him. It wasn't to be, at least not yet. The bout vs. Typhoon would actually be his last WWF appearance until 1997.
