I truly believe The Sandman is one of the greatest characters we ever stumbled upon. Do I think he's a great worker in the ring? Absolutly not. He's the drizzling s----s. and probably one of the worst workers of all time. But he was a money draw. Why? Because when that music played, and he did that entrance, that audience was engaged! And they were with him- they were all as one! And it was part of that EXPERIENCE of the 2 1/4 to 4 hours that we gave you a show!"

Also, it made me wonder- for good or ill- what would have happened if Crockett didn't, as Paul E. put it "bitch slap" him over the phone and actually went on to be a radio personality, leaving the wrestling business entirely. Not just how different woud he have been, but the business as a whole? Kind of the same thought as to how different the rap game would be today if Snoop didn't go on to record "Doggystyle" and help launch Death Row into prominence (again for good or ill), and instead, went to USC to be their QB which apparently was a very viable option.
