Richard "Big River" Johnson

Description
MCW/TSP Legend, Heavy, Face

"The Big River" is the original star and ace in MCW. Before becoming a wrestler, Richard worked on his fathers fishing boat. After a chance encounter with Don Flippo in a fish market, Richard was the first student of the MCW dojo. Despite the constant threat of abuse from a largely white audience, Richard became a household name around central Alabama. Richard was the first MCW Heavyweight champion and fought the likes Lou Thesz and a young Harley Race before MCW left the NWA in 1964.

The name Big River came from his father, who bestowed the name onto Richard after Richard purchased the nicest fishing boat he could for his family. Richard was known to be a very giving and kind man.

Sadly, Richard would pass away after being hit by a car in downtown Montgomery on Christmas Eve 1975. He had saved a young man from being hit by a drunk driver. Rumor has it, the drunk driver was a local Senator leaving the apartment of his secret girlfriend.

Unrelated, but that is what really happened to a rapper named Brando from a group named Sporty Thievz. At the height of his career (they were getting buzz from beefing with Destiny's Child) he was killed by a drunk driver after he pushed a little girl out of the way. Crazy world.
