I'm sure many of you, especially those my age and older, have seen this before, but I always find it interesting. And maybe especially interesting if Schultz is about to be the subject of the Dark Side of the Ring series.
You have Thunderbolt Patterson on one hand, making the claim that the professional wrestling industry was unfair to black wrestlers and that racism held him and other black performers back from making something proportionate to what they earned in ticket sales. Then you have Jim Wilson making the allegation that he was blackballed because he wouldn't go along with the sexual demands of bookers and promoters. And then you have Dave Schultz, 100% in character going after them both and later on, Lou Albano and over the phone, Paul Heyman.
