Curly Moe
Donald Chester "Don" Zalesky (April 3, 1962–July 1, 2015), better known by his ring name Curly Moe, was a retired Canadian-American professional wrestler best known for his time in International World Class Championship Wrestling.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Curly Moe Profile )〕 He was a popular "babyface" in the promotion during the early 1990s, whose gimmick was based on the character Curly Howard from the comedy team The Three Stooges. Bill Apter's 1Wrestling.com has called Curly Moe one of the most "silliest characters" in pro wrestling history.
==Professional wrestling career==
Zalesky trained under Johnny Rodz at "The World's Famous" Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn. Initially wrestling under the name Diesel, Zalesky's trainer changed his ring name several times, including Curly Man Don, before settling on Diesel Don in late-1989. An agile "big man", Zalesky could perform dropkicks and an double leg enzuigiri despite weighing over 500 lbs. He trained with fellow students such as Big Sweet William, Kid Krush, and Mondo Kleen while at the facility. He was also the first-ever opponent of Tommy Dreamer, a future Extreme Championship Wrestling star, who debuted on October 28, 1989.
Zalesky made his pro wrestling debut the following year in International World Class Championship Wrestling. He was brought in by the Savoldi family as a "family friendly" character younger wrestling fans could relate to. His "gimmick" or in-ring persona was based on Curly Howard of The Three Stooges. He not only bore a strong resemblance to Howard but skillfully mimicked his mannerisms both in and outside the ring. His finisher was called the ''Soitenly Splash''〔 and celebrated victories by performing the Curly Shuffle in the center of the ring.〔Napolitano, George. ''Championship Wrestling: Masters of Mayhem''. Bdd Promotional Book Co, 1991. (pg. 81) ISBN 0792455959〕
The promotion went so far as to claim he was the real-life nephew of Curly and Moe Howard attracting some attention from the media. In September 1990, Zalesky was profiled by the Weekly World News. The publication alleged that the young wrestler was receiving supernatural assistance from the late comedians. The following month he pinned Dr. X in Pompano Beach, Florida with a big splash. Zalesky was largely used as a comedy act, who antagonized "Boston Bad Boy" Tony Rumble and other IWCCW "heels" with his zany antics, rather than as a serious competitor. In 1991, Zalesky was ranked #445 of the 500 best singles wrestlers in the country by ''Pro Wrestling Illustrated''; he was also interviewed by PWI senior editor Bill Apter on ''PWI Conference''.
