"Most Colorful" I'd have to say Johnny Orr gets my vote.

I do have a Chris Taylor memory though. When I was a kid my Dad took me to see Cyclone wrestling. We bought a program on the way in and at some point before the meet was over I worked up enough nerve to go down and ask Chris for an autograph. He politely said yes, and I'll never forget that when he took the pen from me to sign the program the pen literally disappeared due to his hand being so huge. I still have that program packed away in a box somewhere.

Justus Thigpen would have to have my vote. I remember seeing him in a fur coat at one point. The guy liked to dress to impress. He wore the diamond earrings before they were in style. Terry Woods was also a very colorful personality.
