“THE MASKED SAINT” 8×10 – This photo was taken in 1987 (a year before I retired from Wrestling at the age of 33). When I went to seminary I store ALL my memorabilia at my folks house in Florida. Unfortunately a hurricane destroyed the building on my folk’s property and I lost ALL my memorabilia. This picture will always be very special to me!
