In honor of Jason Giambi's awesome mustache (and also to inspire him out of his slump, even though he did hit an HR yesterday), I present one of the great mustaches in history - '80's NWA superstar Magnum TA.
Born Terry Allen, Magnum TA was named after his slight resemblance to another Magnum. He quickly shot to fame in south, particularity with Jim Crockett Promotions, one of the major divisions of the National Wrestling Alliance.
During the 1980's, Magnum TA was a huge star. He had legendary feuds with the Four Horseman, especially in a series of "I Quit" matches with Horseman Tully Blanchard, and with "Russian Nightmare" Nikita Koloff (who is now a Pentecostal preacher - who'd thunk it). As he was being groomed to be a World Champion, Magnum's career came to shocking end when he crashed his Porsche into a telephone pole. Magnum TA was fortunate to be alive, but his body was left partially paralyzed. His career was finished.
