What a life he led! He wrestled all over the world......till he was well into his 60's in fact. He was a seriously tough guy......not somebody you'd fuck about with despite his flamboyant image! There's many stories about him, but my favourite was when they booked him to do a match with Jimmy Savile in 1971! And he was supposed to go very easy on Savile and let him win. He wasn't happy with that......so he just went in and beat the shit out of Savile! Fucking legend!
