When I joined Verne Gagne's A.W.A. group in the early seventies, I was determined to make the most of my big break.  At the time, the A.W.A. was a tremendously powerful group, and they promoted in some of the biggest wrestling cities in the country.  So, I was always eager to go out of my way to entertain the fans and please the boss.  Sometimes, I was a little too eager, as you can see in this photo.
