Other Facts: -There was another team of Assassins who held the Georgia Tag Team Titles in the 1980s and yet another team that held the WWA Tag Team Titles in the 1960s. They appear to be a different team and should not be confused with these Assassins.
-Known as The Bolos when they worked in Jim Crockett Promotions because Assassin # 2 had established himself under that name prior to tagging with Assassin # 1. Under this name, they established attendance records in Raleigh & Dorton, NC that still exist today.
-Changed their name to the Assassins after the assassination of President Kennedy.
-After Assassin # 1 retired, Assassin # 2 teamed with 3 other men who used the Assassin name at various times to continue the Assassin name into the 1980s.
-Inducted into the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame and Museum in 2013
