Most Colorful Character
BUFFALO JIM BARRIER
Buffalo Jim Barrier is the very definition of a modern Renaissance man. Owner of Allstate Auto Marine. Columnist for the Las Vegas Mercury (the R-J's hipper sister publication). Founder of the Buffalo Wrestling Federation. Curator of Buffalo Jim's Wrestling and Boxing Museum. Dean of his own wrestling school. We'd like to see Leonardo da Vinci beat all that, thank you very much.
In case this pick has many of you readers buffaloed, allow us to introduce you to Buffalo Jim Barrier.  He’s big.  He’s brawny.  He’s bearded.  He runs an auto and marine electrical service company, but he looks like he’d be right at home in a wrestling ring – which makes perfect sense, since he also runs a wrestling school and has launched his own wrestling federation, dubbed (what else?) BWF, the Buffalo Wrestling Federation, at Mahoney’s Silver Nugget in North Las Vegas.  But what we really want to hear are Buffalo Jim’s tales of all wrestlers he’s befriended through the years, from Goldberg to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin, who can be seen sporting a BWF T-shirt in Buffalo Jim’s portrait gallery on his personal internet site.  Nothing gets us newsroom wimps going like good wrestling gossip.
