I could tell you anything from Chris Adams drunk at Johnny Valinetines funeral to the time Fritz almost pulling a gun on Bob Orton Sr. and my dad when I was a 10 or 11.

I've posted about it before. I'll find it and bump it.

My dad and fritz had a huge falling out after they were tag champions and after fritz took over the Sportatorium. It was a non wrestling related business deal. That's why my dad never worked in Dallas again until the end of his career.

Sorry I meant my dad. He left Texas and went other places after he divorced his first wife.
