-King Parsons was supposed to team with Porkchop Cash as the Bruise Brothers, but Parsons went to work for WCCW. According to Jim Cornette, Jimmy Hart was supposed to debut with the Bruiser Brothers on Memphis TV and was told go find Mad Dog Boyd and " see if the jacket fits him".

-Holds an arguable claim to being the 1st black World Champion as he held the WCCW Heavyweight Title from March 25, 1988 to May 8, 1988 after WCCW had seceded from the NWA and declared their title as a World Title.
