1984 -Baron Von Raschke comes out on Pro Wrestling USA dressed as St. Nick, and reads down a list of sports figures who have been naughty and/or nice.

In a lighter moment that’s a nod to the holiday, Baron makes a few jokes and then announces the card in the Meadowlands.

Von Raschke has a long career all over the world, including the NWA and the WWF, but he found the majority of his success in the Minnesota-based American Wrestling Association. A native of Nebraska, the real-life Jim Raschke would portray the Nazi-Esque Baron character as a heel for years. Eventually, he was embraced as a hometown fan favorite, turning babyface.
