I never saw him live, but he was all over the magazines when I started checking those out in the early to mid 70's. One of the biggest stars in wrestling for a several year period. And then the Jimmy Carter/Lillian Carter connection. Pro wrestling couldn't buy publicity like that! I've heard several old time wrestlers who worked with him say that his knee lift finisher was no joke, very stiff move to take, they believed it, had no choice. lol
