"The Greatest" vs "The Sodbuster"

Post by Riddick » 02-04-2023 06:17 PM

In his four-decade professional wrestling career, Kenny Jay was never a star. But he was known in wrestling circles as the go-to-guy you had to get to make your star look good. "They always said, I was in there," Jay remembered, "and I was aggressive, and I didn't slack or nothing. Because I wanted to put a good show on."

Which is why he got a phone call one fateful day in 1976. He'd been picked to get pummeled by Muhammad Ali.
