When Chalky greets Richard behind the club, there is a poster visible on the wall for a wrestling show at the "Steel Pier Arena", with Danny Boy Kuchar vs. Killer M.Lee Beck. Obviously this peaked my interest.
I did some research, and could not find and wrestlers who billed themselves as "Danny Boy Kuchar" or "Killer M.Lee Beck". The only show I found that was ever held at the old Atlantic City Steel Pier Arena was a 1979 WWF show with Baron Mikel Scicluna vs SD Jones, The Valiant Brothers vs Tito Santana & Ivan Putski, and a Nikolai Volkoff vs Steve Travis. The amusement park across from Taj Majal now occupies that pier these days. I don't know when the old arena was torn down, but it was well before my time, as all I can ever remember is the amusement park & ferris wheel.
So it appears they made this one up. But man, Danny Boy Kuchar vs Killer M.Lee Beck sure sounds authentic.
