I thought Stretch was Bill Sammon's nickname.
You thought right - Stretch = Sammon, he's like 6'6"
You know, you are right. But W called the Richard Kiel guy "Stretch" tonight, remember, and then Kiel with no humor at all said, "I've been called worse." It wasn't a good-natured response, but a defensive, angry sounding one.
There have always been two called "Stretch". Bill Sammon is "Big Stretch".
They are both "STretch" but I forget which is which. It's in Sammon's book, tho.
