Vince Taylor would have kicked your ass. Any serious competitors to "Bob's retirement gift" were intimidated into not entering. But nobody counted on one Rusty Jeffers showing up in the shape he did, so he was placed way low in the hopes no one would notice that he beat the "champ".
Well....Vince could have entered and proved it to everyone. He didn't. LOL at the "intimidation to competitors" not to enter, somehow the winner of the last Masters O and runner up managed to enter (Claude/ Johnny) and Pavel as well....is that your latest conspiracy theory?
What shape was it that Rusty showed up in, same as usual? Your hero was smooth...as usual, which is why he was placed where he was...just like in almost every show before that one and every show since.
