I remember when Stampede Wrestling used to do shows in various little towns. On one occasion a friend noticed the trucks enter town and a group of us kids headed down to the arena where the event was to be held. Spoke with many of the wrestlers as the ring was being set up. Shaw was one of them. I remember a nice guy willing to indulge us kids along with Bruce and Bret Hart. The Hart brothers showed us how to bounce off the ropes properly (arm over the rope so you don't fall through) and how they do a variety of moves including elbow drops from the top rope etc. One of the days that sticks out in my mind as a kid.

Some of the others were dicks but Shaw was not one them. RIP.
