Barry Darsow (born October 6, 1959 in Minneapolis, Minnesota) is a former professional wrestler who worked for the NWA, WWE and WCW.
He is best known for his portrayal of "Smash" in the popular 1980s WWF tag team, "Demolition." Under this character, he won three WWF World Tag Team titles from 1988-1990. After the breakup of Demolition, he was retooled as "Repo Man," a wrestling repossession expert, portrayed as a shifty, suspicious figure complete with a black bandit mask.
He also wrestled in WCW in the late 1990s as the "Blacktop Bully" and "Hole in One" Barry Darsow, a professional golfer gimmick which gained a cult following among Internet wrestling fans.
Darsow attended high school in Minneapolis with five other future wrestlers: Curt Hennig, Rick Rude, Tom Zenk, John Nord, and Nikita Koloff.
