He was great entertainment for me at one time watching TV in Vancouver. He would have these grudge matches with the Mormon Giant (Don Leo Jonathon) where you'd actually forget it was fake and think there was real blood flowing (maybe there was). To me this was the golden age of wrestling (along with Stampede Wrestling) before the WWE or F came along.
I'd say to myself, come on you're too smart to watch this bull but Kiniski and others would draw me in.
