FORT EDWARD -- Judging from the long line of autograph and photo seekers at Fort Edward High School Friday night, area wrestling fans still love Hacksaw.
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan, a professional wrestling legend, is still pleasing crowds in the ring and at the autograph table in the hallway.
Duggan, a Glens Falls native, made a rare local wrestling appearance as part of March Mayhem, a Northeast Wrestling event at the school.
But before bringing his huge frame and signature two-by-four into the ring, Duggan was busy signing autographs and posing for pictures with kids, whose eyes lit up when they saw the gentle, bearded giant.
"How are you, sweetheart? What's your name?" a smiling Duggan said to a little girl waiting for an autograph. He posed with young fans, encouraging them to give the thumbs up, sometimes bellowing his traditional "Hoooooooo!" He asked every fan, young and old, where they were from. He even arm-wrestled a few youngsters, calling for security when he lost.
"Hey, I gotta use that hand later," he said with a laugh to a boy who bested him.
