Such a pleasure working with you guys. I could listen to Rich’s tales of the territory days for ages.
I do, however, have one factual correction. Early on I claim that George Hackenschmidt used to pay sparring partners to injure future opponents. This is incorrect.
It was Frank Gotch who did that. George Hackenschmidt was one of the opponents he did it TO.
