| "And that's all the people need to know." |
James “Baron von” Raschke was a decorated amateur wrestler before becoming one of professional wrestling’s strangest and most memorable villains. The Nebraska native began working for the AWA in 1966 and became famous for his goose-step, wild-eyed interviews and finishing hold, the Brain Claw. Raschke later became a fan favorite and joined The Crusher to win the AWA World Tag Team Championship in 1984. His immortal explanation—“And that is all the people need to know!”—ended nearly every interview.
