Chairman of the Brawl: Credited with being the one who introduced chairs to the Memphis style of wrestling, and by extension, to hardcore wrestling in general.

Legacy Character: The Fabulous Ones were basically The Fabulous Fargos for a new generation, from taking their name from Fargo's Red Baron of "The Fabulous One", right down to the Fargo Strut. Very appropiate, considering that Fargo trained them. Jerry Lawler qualifies too, since he took a lot of mannerisms, particularly his big comeback, from Fargo. And yes, Fargo also trained him.
