I remember reading in the Inside Wrestling & The Wrestler magazines about his DAD just starting in the business as the son of a pro 'rassler himself... Damn I miss the 1970s.

On June 1, 1976 a famous incident occurred in Philadelphia involving Gorilla Monsoon and boxing legend Muhammad Ali during a taping for the syndicated WWWF TV show “Championship Wrestling.” Ali, preparing for his upcoming crossover bout with Antonio Inoki in Japan later that month, jumped into the ring as Monsoon (who rarely appeared as a wrestler on their TV shows) was concluding a short match against Baron Mikel Scicluna. Ali removed his shirt and started dancing around Monsoon while gesturing and throwing jabs at him, to which Monsoon responded by grabbing Ali in his Airplane Spin and slamming him to the mat. Monsoon would never reveal whether the incident was preplanned. In an interview, he commented, "I never saw him before and haven't seen him since."

Born almost exactly 7 years before I was. Didn't know that, nor of the righty-to-lefty thing either.
He was my first bar concert. We had a club called "Shaker Park" about a mile and a half away from my house, and I saw him there when I was 16 back in 74.
