LOL. You're going back to Black Jack and the Wahoo days, and the original Four Horseman. Yeah, I've heard he looks pretty bad now. Don't watch wrestling like I used to back in the 70s but I heard he was still in wrestling now with the WWF. That's so sad. He just needs to quit

That was before the 4 Horsemen when Jim Dillon was a jobber. The 4 Horsemen was the peak of wrestling when you had real competition adding variety to wrestling. On a given Saturday, I could watch Texas (Von Erichs), the AWA, the NWA Mid Atlantic, the NWA Georgia, Florida Wrestling (With Gordon Solie), and the WWF. It forced them to keep the gimmicks entertaining. When they all shook out and consolidated, the gimmicks became more like circus acts.

But the 4 Horsemen could work a crowd. Even Jimmy Valiant could generate heat with some good gimmicks(remember Charlie Brown From Outa Town?)
