Oklahoma town, he beat up the McGuire Twins (who were 600 pounds each) to the point where they were crying in the ring.
-Was involved in a particularly bloody match against Tully Blanchard that was filmed for SoCW's TV show on USA. USA refused to air the match and it was one of the factors involved in USA cancelling SoCW and replacing it with
