Coincidentally, my Mom wrestled professionally under that very name in the late 1950's. She toured the country and was big in the Rust Belt, met my Dad at caged match in Pittsburgh. Mom's dream was for me to follow in her footsteps. Alas, it was not to be... I have small lady feet, but a big heart... like a ham.

Re: Mayer and Seagal on eBay? Seagal actually uses his name as a part of his alias, I kid you not. He buys a myriad of items (no, no acting lessons that I know of). Mayer's big in vintage guitar effects and amps. That is how I came to know of them both. Mayer sells some stuff, as does Seagal. Johnny Ramone,(no experience with him/never knew his alias), he collected baseball stuff if I recall correctly.

Re: Big Tiki spenders. The stuff on eBay is just the tip o' the iceberg. The large transactions are done privately. Or so I am told as I have no personal knowledge or financial dealings in said matters. Nor have I received any compensation, financial or in kind, for any alleged transactions.

I heard that kohalacharms is actually several people. A small cartel of well-heeled collectors, a syndicate if you will, attempting to corner the market in high-end Tiki memorabilia. Conversely, I read a rumor that he is simply a patsy, a front for a Saudi Prince. Then again, I was also told he is one man, a techie (software, games and such) and very elusive. Partly a recluse, he is hardly ever seen outside his compound. No one actually deals with him personally, always through several minions he keeps on payroll. Keeps several Congressman in his back pocket and had a guy in the Bahamas killed just for leaning on his Aston Martin. No wait, I think that's Hanford?

Danlovestikis? No way, Jose. Not spilling them beans. I love my kneecaps, they're too important, especially with my little lady feet.
