On the low - Ron and Teddy need to do a reprint of the T-shirt Teddy is wearing. Maybe do a hoodie too.

They could make a little change off the retro market with it :ehh:

Thunderbolt Patterson was really underrated.
His career got messed up for a while in the 1970s because he got blackballed for trying to form a wrestlers union.

A fun fact about Patterson: he was Ole Anderson's final tag partner (they were even NWA world tag champs) before Arn showed up and got Ole to turn on Patterson to form the Four Horsemen.
The fact that Ole Anderson would tag with a Black man IS historic!
According to several wrestlers (and Teddy Long) Ole was super racist, and generally unlikeable.

Stolen from Wiki:

Norman Anthony Smiley (born February 28, 1965) is an English/American retired professional wrestler. He is best known for his time in Mexico's Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre where he held their world heavyweight title and is also known for his appearances with the American professional wrestling promotion World Championship Wrestling from 1997 to 2001. He currently works for WWE as a trainer for NXT.[1][5] Championships held by Smiley over the course of his career include the CMLL World Heavyweight Championship and the WCW Hardcore Championship.

He helped train so many current WWE & NXT wrestlers, I know Sasha always gives him credit for helping her
