Everything about Don Kernodle totally explained

professional wrestler.
Career
Don Kernodle started wrestling in 1973 in the
NWA's
Jim Crockett Promotions after an amateur wrestling career. At first, he was part of
Sgt. Slaughter's "Cobra Corps" and he often teamed with Slaughter and
Pvt. Jim Nelson.
In 1983, Kernodle became a heel and formed a tag team with
Bob Orton, Jr. and was managed by
Gary Hart. He soon turned against
America and formed a tag team with
Ivan Koloff and won the
NWA World Tag Team Titles. When Ivan's "nephew"
Nikita Koloff arrived in late 1984, Kernodle helped to train him. In early 1985, the Koloffs turned on Don and started a long and violent feud.
Kernodle teamed with his brother Rocky to feud with them and helped the
Rock 'N Roll Express to win the Tag Team Titles from them at
Starrcade '85.
In 1986, Kernodle left the NWA and wrestled in the independents in the Carolina's. He is now a Sgt. for Immigration Customs Enforcement for Alamance County and still wrestles occasionally in the Carolina Wrestling Federation with his brother Rocky.

Sylvester Stallone movie
Paradise Alley.
Don Kernodle (and his brother Rocky) won the $10,000 grand prize on an early 1990s episode of ABC's
America's Funniest Home Videos (their video was of them getting their
Miniature Pinscher to growl and snarl). They qualified for the $100,000 competition but didn't win.
