The system in which I came up in was that every territory had to have a black, a white… if you went to Texas you had to have somebody that was a cowboy or one that was from Mexico. There wasn’t that many Afro Americans in the business at the time so I moved around a lot. But every time I moved around, I made money. Rocky Johnson Read Quote
I was partners with Mil Mascaras and we were champions for about a year. We got over good because we had two different styles. The people respected his style when he was in the ring and when I came in they respected mine. Rocky Johnson Read Quote
