I realize that marching band week was last week on Crankshaft, but I had a couple of thoughts on it. All the focus is on Marching Band only, instead of also including Concert Band (Orchestra minus strings) which could share instruments, players and the director with marching band. Actually, thinking a bit further, I never remember any strips about the marching band without the focus being on fundraising for the uniforms, or that drat convention they were just at. That convention actually annoys me a bit too. It looks like it's for the Ohio Music Educators Association, but there, Mr. Marching Band only directly being a loose dipshit hawking his book. The Texas Music Educator's Association had their conference recently and it's mostly instrument, uniform, and repertoire sellers both on the distributor and retailer level. There are a some outliers, like some of the the bands for four of the branches of the US military. I figure all of the letter S should be a representative sample: SABIAN Ltd. | 681 Salyers Percussion | 680 Sam Ash Music | 793 Samson | 391 SanMar Sports | 2368 Santa Barbara Music Publishing, Inc. | 2479 Scents Of Soy Fundraising | 2459 Schilke Music Products / Greenhoe Trombones | 851 Schlitterbahn Waterparks | 1161 Schoolfundr | 2344 SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment | 1486 Select Tours by Sabol & Associates, LLC | 2760 Shawn Belle | 2682 Shelf Foundation | 892 SICO America, Inc. | 1268 Sigma Alpha Iota | 2751 Silver Dollar City Attractions | 2580 Silverstein Works | 917 Simply Sheets of Mobile/Simply Fundraising | 2766 Six Flags Fiesta Texas | 2447 Smithsonian Folkways Recordings | 2245 Snap!

The Crusher was an actual wrestler from the 60s and 70s, mostly in the AWA territory of Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. There's a statue of him in South Milwaukee.

Not with the name Count Crusinski you weren't. I'm going to make a assumption that you played a knockoff Baron Von Racheki or a Fritz Von Erich (Not the more famous sons), with the Baron being more likely as you wrestled the Crusher, and both of them wrestled for the AWA. While the Baron eventually turned good, he spent much of his career as a villain. Evil Germans, Eastern Europeans, and Russians were a common heel character, even to this as recently 2015 with Russev. Additionally, while the Count seems to be a territory guy from the 60s-early 80s, a number of wrestlers from the late 80s-early 2000s have come clean about being beat up from years of taking moves and from addiction. Diamond Dallas Page, a former WCW champion and current yoga instructor, has helped rehab a bunch of them, and it's always met with how cheers that they're working to get better. The Count's kayfabe at all costs mentality is incredibly toxic and has ruined lives. The Von Erich family is a great example. It's thankfully going away.

At least since the 80s, and probably earlier, good guy(face) wrestlers made a significant amount of money from selling 8 x 10 pictures of themselves, especially if they were hot. Think Shawn Michaels, the Von Erich brothers, the Rock n Roll Express, prime Jeff Hardy, Jungle Boy. Ok, so he may have been a more tough-guy face like Bruno Sanmarito, the Road Warriors, or Steve Austin. They still shared a locker room with the hot faces, and still sold photos. Unphotogenic Mick Foley still sold photos of himself.
