The life-size bronze statue of South Milwaukee native Reggie “Da Crusher” Lisowski has been unveiled.
How ‘bout dat?
A
crowd of hundreds surrounded the statue, which was covered in a gray
striped cloth. Both whispers and yells of excitement filled the air,
making South Milwaukee’s downtown feel like one of the arenas where the
Crusher would perform.
Everyone was staring at the
ring — or at least landscaping that resembled a wrestling ring — which
surrounded the statue with bricks displaying names of donors.
A
priest blessed the statue and then, to the tune of “The Crusher” played
live by The Novas, the statue was uncovered by the Lisowski family
.
Holding
a beer barrel on his shoulder with an iconic facial expression and
wearing a belt that said "The Crusher," the statue looked alive with a
high level of detail right down to the wrinkles in his forehead.
