13 Questions With The Honky Tonk Man

4. Honky Vs. Ric

“I was a main event player on several occasions when Ric would come into the town where we were working. Of course, he [as NWA World champion] would be the main event, and I would be in the semi-main event. He knew better than to print something like that.”
