Rants

Secret Origins

By Scott Keith on 20 September 2019



Hello Scott,

Over the last decade or two, I've read and re-read countless classic rants on old shows, as well as most of your themed essays.  I read most of your current PPV recaps as well. 

However, for all of the content I've perused, one thing remains unclear to me – exactly what is the origin of the phrase "BONZO GONZO?"  

I understand the the basic meaning of what it represents, but I'd like to know the specific match/incident that inspired it.  It warms my heart that you still use it.
It specifically comes from the History of the Tag Team Championship Coliseum Video, rant, with a match on the Spectrum Network in the 70s.  I forget which match. Someone else can probably call it up faster than me.
