Conan Stevens Wrestling Photo Shoot for Local Newspaper

Here I am posing again for the photographer for the local paper. If I was a real Vendel there is no way he'd be standing so close.

These guys used to brew mushroom alcohols that were probably not too good for you - frothing at the mouth, unable to feel fear or pain, super human strength. These guys were off their heads on super potent psychedelic amphetamine like drugs.

The blue war paint you see Mel Gibson wearing in Braveheart is similar - it was made from fungus and it too would trip the Celts out and drive them mad.

It was no wonder the Romans feared these two groups.
