Professional Wrestler Richard Blood Sr. was born in February, 1953; to an American father of English descent, who had served in the United States Army during WWII and the Korean War; and a Japanese mother, who his father had brought over to the United States from Japan as a War Bride.
The Blood family is descended from Abraham Lincoln, and Richard Sr.’s paternal grandmother/Richie Jr.’s paternal great-grandmother is Ethel Lincoln.
While still serving in the United States Army, and raising Richard Blood Sr. and his siblings; Richard Sr.’s nuclear family had moved around to wherever the United States Armed Forces had stationed his father, to places such as (West) Germany, Italy, and Turkey.
Richard Sr.’s parents had divorced while Richard Sr.’s father was still an Active Serviceman; Richard Sr.’s mother, Richard Sr. himself, and his siblings each had to move out of the Military barracks abroad, move back to the United States, and spend the rest of their child and adolescent years in poverty.
Upon retiring from serving in the United States Army, Richard Blood Sr.’s father had purchased a Gas Station. During the time Richard Sr. and his siblings had spent with their father following their parents’ divorce, Richard Sr. had worked for his father at the Gas Station during his teenage years; and had developed a passion for Automobiles in the process.
While married to his third wife Bonny, Richard Sr. had birthed their son Richard Jr.
Richard Sr. has been married a total of five times. Richard Sr.’s previous four wives (including Bonny, who they have Richard Jr. with) had divorced him largely due to his profession as a Professional Wrestler had caused him to be away from home, his wives, and his child for much of the entire year; and his prior four wives could not handle him being away for much of the entire year.
Professional Wrestlers Richard Blood Sr., and Richard Blood Jr. both had a relatively unknown presence in NASCAR, upon Richard Blood Sr. retiring from Professional Wrestling the first time around in 1994; and as Richard Sr. was residing in the vicinity of Charlotte, North Carolina with his second wife Bonny, and their son Richard Jr.
Richard Jr., for a time; had also raced Bandolero Cars, which in layman’s terms; is a cross in both size and in form between a Full-Size Go-Kart, a Quarter Midget Car, and an Allison Legacy Series Car, and are designed, and hand-built for entry-level Automobile Racing.
Below is the link to an archived Article from 2003 on the website for Charlotte Motor Speedway, about participants in an Amateur Automobile Race that Charlotte Motor Speedway held in July of that year; listing Richard Blood Jr. as one of the Drivers and participants in this Race:

If you ask me, Richard Sr. and Richard Jr., should both be proponents in the way NASCAR was prior to the 21st Century; and they should be movers and shakers who attempt to keep NASCAR the way it was prior to the 21st Century, and for NASCAR to not try to be as appealing to the average (younger) person as Wrestling, Basketball, American Football, Baseball, Hockey, and Soccer/Association Football.
Richard Sr. is also active in Drag Racing, and has purchased to both add to his personal vehicle collection, and to Drag Race in; an S197 Ford Mustang that was once modified by Carroll Shelby Automobiles, and further modified it himself with Wheels, Tires, Suspension, Brakes, and some sort of Heavy-Duty Axle and Differential. Each of these modifications that Richard Sr. had personally performed on his S197 Ford Mustang, and each of these aftermarket parts that Richard Sr. had personally installed on this Car; are for Drag Racing.
Richard Jr. not only needs to be transformed from being fit and muscular to being fat and overweight, but Richard Jr. also needs to comprehend that the world of Amateur/Ham Radio, the Commercial Broadcast Radio and Television Industry, and Electric Fans are all more important than the world of Sports and Fitness; including Wrestling, and the Sports of American Football, Basketball, and Baseball.
Richard Sr. and his fifth and current wife, Sandi; together currently reside in a home that was built on the Mountains within the vicinity of Knoxville, Tennessee. Not too far away from where Dolly Parton and each of her siblings (including Willadeene, Stella, and Randy) each grew up, where Dolly still resides to this day, and where a Theme Park that, at times; was called Rebel Railroad, then Goldrush Junction, then simply ‘Goldrush’, then Silver Dollar City, before Dolly Parton purchased a percentage of it in 1986, therefore becoming a part owner of it alongside the Herschend family, and renaming it Dollywood in the process.
Interesting fact: the Theme Park that is now known as Dollywood, and is jointly owned by the Herschend family, and Dolly Parton; at the time it was known simply as ‘Goldrush’, this Theme Park was owned by Cleveland, Ohio businessman Art Modell; who is widely known as the owner of the Cleveland and Baltimore-based NFL Teams.
