“Colosseum video were the guys in charge of selling the video to the distributor which sold to the video store. As an example le of their kindness, Hillbilly Jim was hired as a rep after he was so hurt from the body breaking fake wrestling. Sincce we were selling tons of best selling product to video stores, I was really taken care of royalty and was sent gratis to matches all over the country, That was just good business. I was at the first summer slam, and I was at wrestlemania three. You can see me in the video because I am the only one wearing a suit and tie. I was also lucky enough to have had a long conversation with Freddie Blassie and talked about how crazy Andy Kaufman was.Yeah it was really fake, but Jerry Lawler gave Andy a very real permanently damaged neck. I grew up watching wrestling with my grandmother in St. Louis where Joe Garagiiola was the ring announcer! It was our Soap Opera. I was so privileged ito be a part of the WWF World and it was one of the coolest experiences of my life. Watch two wrestling movies: Howard Winkler in “The One and Only “ and the very sad documentary about Jake the Snake.Roberts. Oh yeah, Rowdy Roddy Piper was in the fake science fiction movie “They Live”. Thank you so much for taking me back to the wonderful people l met in the wrestling world. By the way, children under 11 really believe wrestling is real, just like Virginia believed in Santa Claus.”
