  1. If Kernodle had come along 10 years earlier he would have had big runs in 3-4 territories, at least. Instead, we got a really good run with Slaughter and then a solid run with Hart and Ivan before he was off to the independents for 30 years.

    Legit wrestler and strong as an ox. That tag match with him and Slaughter vs Steamboat and Youngblood is still great to watch today.
