Everyone remembers the original heyday of the World Wrestling Federation, a time when gimmicks reigned supreme. A period where a wrestler's talent was always placed far behind the character he was given. Some careers, like Terry Taylor and Steve Keirn, ran into a brick wall when given the gimmicks of the Red Rooster and Skinner. Others, such as Mike Rotunda and Ted Dibiase, were given long runs with characters no one could ever forget in IRS and the Million Dollar Man. Chris Chavis' Tatanka, an Indian warrior, was one character that stayed in fans' minds for a long time, all the way to a recent appearance on Monday Night Raw!
 
Who could forget Tatanka's fallaway slam finisher, bizarrely named "Papoose To Go" or his treacherous heel turn on Lex Luger to join the Million Dollar Corporation? Tatanka talks about his entire career, from the early indie days, to his World Wrestling Federation stay through today in this incredible shoot interview. Tantaka talked about all the backstage happenings during one of wrestling's most insane eras.
