Gene had injured his wrist earlier in the year of 1973.
He wore the glove for support but he would also load
it and knock his opponents out cold.I saw him beat
Thunderbolt Patterson twice with the glove.
In Aug.1973 Jerry Brisco put his Eastern Heavyweight
belt against the glove in Greensboro.After winning the
match Brisco threw the glove into the crowd at ringside.
One lucky fan went home with a prize that night.Too
bad I was no where close to the area the glove landed
in.Maybe it will turn up on ebay someday.

I found 3 new pictures of my Dad wearing the glove I will get to Dick and I'm sure he will post.
Great shots of my Dad and Weaver and Dad is bleeding all over the place.

As I recall, Johnny said he wrestled his last match sometime in 85 the last time I spoke to him. I know he said he retired at least then. That's when he started doing commentary. I don't have anything concrete myself though.
