One Man Gang lost it all in the flood

One Man Gang was one of the most intimidating big men of the late 80’s. With Slick in his corner, the duo made for a perfect heel act, which the fans absolutely hated. As we all know, he would eventually be repackaged as Akeem The African Dream, which was sort of a silly moniker for him.
Nonetheless, he was a prominent force during this era for the then-WWF.
One Man Gang is a native resident of the lower Louisiana Bayou country, residing just outside of Baton Rouge. One of the issues people face living in that region is the multitude of storms that come their way.

In fact, there was a pretty substantial storm that hit this area in 2016, which ultimately resulted in a horrible flood. In the aftermath of the flood, One Man Gang went home to discover that he actually no longer had a home. The flood had completely destroyed and washed away his house, as well as everything that he owned.
In late August 2016, there was a GoFundMe account set-up to help One Man Gang recover from the loss of his home. With a goal set for 20 thousand dollars, over 15 thousand dollars have been raised as of this writing.

Jonathan Carpenter is a pro wrestling journalist at Sportskeeda. After obtaining a degree in political science from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, he started writing WWE articles in 2016. Jonathan believes integrity is vital in journalism and ensures his work is high on accuracy. He conducts in-depth research and verifies information from various sources before curating a feature.
Jonathan has engaged in many meaningful conversations with prominent pro wrestling personalities like Drew McIntyre and DDP. He grew up in Memphis, admiring Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan during WWE’s Golden Era in the ‘80s. He has attended many pro wrestling events and credits The Hulkster for making his childhood memorable.
Jonathan, a big fan of Bray Wyatt, would like to see the latter's brother, Bo Dallas, continue his legacy as Uncle Howdy. If he were to work on the storyline, Jonathan would book the return of Erick Rowan as Howdy’s muscle. He thinks it would be a great way to honor the former Universal Champion.
When not writing pro wrestling features, Jonathan likes to collect sports memorabilia and has amassed a large collection of event-used and autographed relics over the years.
