I saw him live a few times, im still trying to find the place he was from on google earth "parts unknown"
From back when wrestling was fun to watch and not this overdone soap opera for men that it is now. BTW heres some trivia on George. He had a bachelors degree in science and a masters degree. Wish I could had met him.
