[5.0] "His team with Mulligan as the Blackjacks was my favorite tag team of the late 70's. They were one of the first themed tag teams in the WWF where the team wore similar outfits. They might have been a few years before their time, they could have been a nice addition to the WWF team teams golden era of the 80's."

[9.0] "Famous wrestler of the 60s and 70s. He was a longtime road agent for WWE from the 80s-90s. Jim Cornette and JR both give him a lot of credit for his work in the attitude era as the top producer in WWE."
