I never met two more classy gentlemen. Ray Stevens and Gene Anderson. I took this photo at a show I promoted in Henderson, NC years ago. Gene Anderson managed "The Crippler" in his match against The Trooper (Del Wilkes aka The Patriot.)
 
It was an honor to have legends like this, and Wahoo McDaniel working alongside young local guys. You guys that are trying to break into the business today, imagine what you could've learned working with these guys each weekend.
 
Mad props to my HARDCORE HEROES!
