Usually in some shows of the late 70`s,early 80`s.

You can always learn from old decrepit people like myself bro!  LOL  ;D
Arrogance is when one thinks he is too good to learn from anybody, ignorance is when one thinks he can't learn from anybody...

I always thought that either he had that conk (perm), from back in the day, to short hair (like the famous pool pic) or bald...like he was in the 70s and early 80s.

Neck looks shopped, but I know it's real. Did he do extra exercises for his neck with that stupid neck harnass or what ?

King worked his neck 2-3 times a week on the Nautilus 4-Way Neck Machine.

One of the nicest guys you could ever meet also.
