Which did you like better?

Did you like managing the good guy better or did you find it funner to manage the heel?

I prefer to work with a heel. More fun to be bad. Although working baby face, the fans did not grope and punch me as much as I went to the ring.

Yeah I see your point. Sometimes fans got way too serious about the matches. Who was your favorite heel to work with? Who was the most fun to work with?

Yeah I see your point. Sometimes fans got way too serious about the matches.

If they got "way too serious" then I was doing my job.
The madder and more frustrated they got
then they would come back next time
just to see us get beat up on again.

Who was your favorite heel to work with?
Tully was my favorite, then Flair.

Who was the most fun to work with?[/quote]
It is hard to decide, have to say it had to be the whole group of Crockett talent between Bash 1985 and August 1986. Who can say that they had the opportunity to work with all those guys on a day to day basis. We were together more than with our own families.

I was at those bashes both 85 and 86. It was the greatest time of wrestling. I loved the wrestlers of that time period. I loved the way it was promoted. In my opinion Vince McMahon has done more to hurt the sport of wrestling. He has made it more entertainment than sport. What a shame.

Vince has made a lot of money for a lot of people. His vision was not at all what anyone had ever envisioned.
I look at it that if Vince wasn't there,
would we appreciate what we did have as much
as we do....
would we realize how unique that short amount of time was...?

That is one way to look at it. I miss JCP and the old way of promoting wrestling. You were great at making people angry and you did it with class and style.

[bluedevil71]

It's interesting that you bring up the fans involvement because I remember one time when you came to Virginia, in '85, with Tully and a female fan hit you or Tully or something of the sort and, as it turned out, that was the last time the town had wrestling for like 10 years.

That was unfortunate that fans got involved in that way. But on the flip side, that just meant you guys were REALLY GOOD at getting over and ticking them off, too.

DO you remember what town in Virginia..?

[bluedevil71]

Yeah, it was my hometown of Culpeper. I didn't see the incident, but I heard about it later. I was there that night. Tully worked Manny Fernandez. The match went to a 20-minute draw and I'm not sure when the fan hit one of you, but I later heard that it played a role in not letting wrestling back at the school for a while.

It was definitely more because of the fans, not because of you guys. You were just doing your job.

I remember a match where Rick Flair got hit over the head with a real steel chair that a fan had thrown into the ring. The other wrestler didn't know it wasn't a prop and hit Flair over the head with it. The fan got arrested and Flair was taken out on a stretcher. My sister and I got to see the chair.

[Baby Doll]

I don't know what you mean about"real steel" chair. All the chairs that I saw used were the same ones that were used as ringside seats. The only wooden chair that we used was the one at Starrcade. I chose that chair because it was the only one at the ring that was not chained down.

[precious1]

The fan got arrested and taken away and Flair was left bloody by the chair. I saw the chair and there was a huge dent in the chair that had been used on Flairs head. I can't remember his first name but he was a camera man his last name was Crockett someone said he was related to Jim Crockett. He said that was not supposed to have happened that way. Flair did not wrestle after that for a week or two. But I guess it could have been a part of the match maybe he was due for a vacation. But there was an awful amount of blood.

No I am sure it doesn't feel good but I know that if you know what to expect you can stage it to where it looks very real and the pain isn't quite as bad.
