Mike, Nope, never knew Jesse when I wrestled. He was in another league. Back in those days there were something like a dozen promotions that claimed national or world status, but were really fairly localized. The two survivors, the WWF, then the WWWF, and WCW, then the NWA, were, at that time, the local New York/Philadelphia fed and the Atlanta fed respectively. I would certainly wrestle Jesse. He had a rep for knowing the business. The guys you don't want to wrestle are those who are "stiff." When they punch, you get hurt. When they slam you, your bones crack. Some are stiff because they can't wrestle and some are stiff because they like hurting people. I met a few of those and was occasionally in a fight I didn't know I was in until I had pretty much lost it. <G> The first time a guy cracks you, you assume he made a mistake. The second time you have to give it back it bit or become a punching bag for the veterans. The funny thing was, some of the jobbers could kick the star's butts in real life, so it made for an interesting situation. I wasn't one of them. I was just a big, strong guy who lift anything, so I always threw the star around the ring and lifted him overhead a lot (not easy with some of those guys. Impossible with others) until he used a rasslin' move to pin me. MB
