New Rochelle

Sorry, no, sadly this is not an update on Bard's jaw-dropping summer scoop concerning Brad Rochelle's long anticipated return to BG East. It is about Brad, though: his early golden years at BG East, pre-Contract. The 190-pound six-footer registered in a big way with me in his auspicious debut eighteen years ago this month--with me and about a gazillion other wrestling fans. Earlier this week I woke up with Brad on the brain, somehow, and a baton propping up my Pendleton wool blanket. I take that as a sign that it's time for some photos of the guy. Eight classics for our mutual delectation. Here goes.
