1967 Topps #82 Wahoo McDaniel RC. As a gimmick, whenever McDaniel made a tackle, the PA announcer would announce, "Tackle made by...guess who?", which the crowd would respond, "WAHOO!"
Wahoo was respected by pro wrestlers and football players for his toughness, physical style and his crazy antics outside of the ring. His playing ability in football was often overshadowed by his wild lifestyle. Joe Namath and Larry Csonka, who played with him early in their careers, both printed stories about him in their autobiographies. Along that same line, Len Dawson has been quoted as saying "The hardest hit I ever received on a football field was by Wahoo McDaniel. Wahoo died in 2002, RIP Wahoo!
