YES LMAOAnd his buddy Kevin Sullivan.
That card took place at what eventually became The Eddie Graham Sports Stadium. The place was a total dump , no AC but it still hosted many matches and the joint was always full of fans. It’s still hard to believe how much those wrestlers traveled for work each week. For years , Miami Beach, Tampa, Orlando & Jacksonville were regular stops throughout the week for those dudes. Promoter’s would also book additional shows at small town high school gyms and Armory’s throughout the state and they were also taping live shows twice a day on Saturday’s in Tampa and Georgia. Most of those wrestlers were working well over 300 days a year and they weren’t making much unless they were a headliner like Dusty, and the Nature Boy. Those were some hard working, tough SOB’s.There was no more gruesome a situation for a wrestler in CWF than when his forehead was in the grip of Pak Song's "The Claw".
Most opponents had to concede the pain was too intense and the damage too severe to continue.
The referee also had trouble communicating with the young South Korean that his opponent had conceded. Even the bell ringing 50 times didn't get Song to release the hold. It sometimes took several other wrestlers to beat down Song to release "The Claw".
Often, Song would lose the match by disqualification for not releasing the claw. This allowed superstars like Briscoe, Muraco
and Rhodes to retain their title belts.
In most cases the opponents cranial area was a Crimson Mask.
