Mark "Super" Duper

umpalu · Sep 5, 2008

Learned a new piece of info tonight. Apparently Mark Duper changed his name back in the day as 85 has done this year. A small piece of trivia I will have claimed ignorance on until this point. Who would have thought, Duper the original 85, who actually wore 85, changed his name first. Not me, but I am not old enough to be an old school fan yet.

That's actually pretty interesting. In all the time I watched Duper I never knew that.

It was a pretty big story at the time that he did it. But, it was never really talked about later in his career.
