*** interesting tidbits (at least to me)***
B.B. (Bad Bill Coleman) who would work a few shots for the WWF every month was a George Cannon guy. When working for the Crybaby, and when being allowed to put his skills on display, Coleman worked a Terry Funk style.
 - when Bruno left to start his own promotion IWA (?) WWF regulars Larry Zbyszko, Mike Masters and Davey O’Hannon went with him. O’Hannon was the #2 heel often teaming with Larry Legend while Mike Masters working as Rocky Jones was a top face working alongside Bruno Jr. Jones received a considerable amount of press coverage in mags like Main Event and looked to be headed toward a push in GCW when he was injured in an auto accident. After returning from injury he would work as the heel Mike Masters in PNW and SECW before returning to Atlanta as the face Rocky Jones for Ole’s CWG group.
- Johnny Rodz was “Unpredictable” because he was always switching sides of the fence from one town to the next.
 
 
special thanks to Graham Cawthorne's historyofthewwe.com web-site without which I would have never been able to compile this. I dream of the day when every promotion will be great website like GC's, Rich Tate's GA. site, CWFarchives, etc.
