Joe Kapp, still swingin' at 74: an SCVTalk-as-TMZ moment

Joe Kapp, who in pre-Twlight days held the position for decades as SCV's most famous son, is making a run at the title again at the age of 74. It isn't enough that he quarterbacked in a Rose Bowl, a Grey Cup and a Super Bowl. He's now a genuine 21st Century celebrity as the star of a very bizarre viral video.

At at CFL benefit luncheon in Vancouver last week, he welcomed CFL legend and former pro wrestler Angelo Mosca, 73, with an olive branch (literally). I'm not up on their history, but I'm going to guess it isn't so rosy. Watch what happens:

This video is getting pulled left and right, so I'll update the link once it finds a permanent home. In case you can't see it, Mosca swats Kapp's olive branch away and Kapp responds by slapping his arm. Mosca then rises to his feet and starts swinging his cane at Kapp. Old Joe then takes down the ex-wrestler with a flurry of punches, sending him off the stage.
